Reveared games I really tried to get in to, but nah:
I don't think X4 would fit as overrated, since even the fans are quick to point out how much jank and questionable design you have to put up with in order to play
I liked the 2016 Doom. It was kind a Half-Lifey and flow was good. Eternal was just too platformy and the arena shooter parts were nothing new.
Havent tried Dark Ages, because Hellsinger already tickled that itch and did it well. I'd rather return to that.
Oof. Elden ring is my top 5 for sure. But hey, that's why we got choices and preferences.
Did not expect caves of qud to be on anyone's list, as I thought it was pretty niche.
I also really wanted to like the game, but it felt oddly empty. I wanted less lost in the wilderness, less static quests, more dynamic stuff to do and explore.
