For consistency sake, let's say that any game that's >or=7/10 at what it's trying to do while having a popular perception of being a <5/10 game in general would count. Want to specify that this is more about the perception of the game compared to, say, a game just being really niche.

My personal Go-to for this would probably be the Callisto Protocol, because while it certainly did have some troubles at launch they were massively overblown. IMO most of the hate for it comes down to people expecting it to be Dead Space 4 with a new name, ignoring the devs the multitude of times they said that it's something else before release, and then getting mad when it released and wasn't dead space 4 under a new name.

Maybe No Man's Sky. I'm not too sure what people think of it now a days but it had a massive turn around since launch

Yes, NMS was overhyped and completely failed to meet expectations. But it was also complete garbage on release. 7/10? Not even close. It's one of the only games I ever bought on physical disk that I returned because it was so bad when it wasn't unplayable. That wasn't a problem with expectations, that was a terrible fucking game.

Sure, but this post is not about 7/10 games on release, it's about 7/10 games now vs their perception now.
