I agree with all of those except Deus Ex: HR and Oblivion. For all its faults, Oblivion was the first and best realized sandbox western RPG this gen. Any game that gives the player as much choice and freedom as Oblivion is worthy of praise since virtually everything is so linear nowadays. 

Deus Ex: HR is not overrated by any means. Even if it was, it kind of deserves respect by default considering that it is the only stealth game left since splinter cell/metal gear solid/assassin's creed/and now hitman all have gone the pure action route with stealth elements put in as an afterthought. Deus Ex: HR does not have to be played as stealth, but it rewards the player greatly in accordance to their degree of stealth/exploration skills. It will probably be the only stealth title we will see until Thief 4 comes out.
