It's overrated because the actual player doesn't think it's that great of a game.  Just compare the critic scores to the user scores on Metacritic.

RDR2 (XB1)
Metascore: 97 User score 7.3 (or 73 equivalent) difference: 24 points

RDR2 (PS4)
Metascore: 97 User score: 7.9 (or 79) difference: 18 points

BotW (Switch)
Metascore: 97 User score 8.5 (or 85)  difference: 12 points

Mario Odyssey (Switch)
Metascore: 97 User score: 8.9 (or 89) difference: 8 points


The biggest gap between the user base and the critics is on RDR2.  That makes the game OVERRATED.  It is rated too highly by critics.  Players think the game is decent but nothing special.  Players are saying RDR2 is OVERRATED.

So now User score is important huh

When people review bombed Breath of the Wild Sony fans seemed to think they were.  After the storm cleared and they settled in at 8.5, now all of a sudden they act like they do not.

 

Funny how double standards work.  The bottom line is that in most ways you break it down, RDR2 IS NOT the highest rated current gen game on meta critic.  The OP is highlighting the one and very flawed, instance where it is (when you look at the version that got only 33 reviews instead of the one that got 94).  All people are doing is using hos own cherry picking logic against the OP to show him just how ridiculous his claims are.

 

However considering this kind of reaction was likely what he was after all along, he is probably patting himself on the back.
