Agreed.  While Last 2 is overrated and isn't a 10/10, it still is a solid/good game.  Easily a 7/10 to a 8/10.  The 1/10 was just silly.  Same goes for Pokemon S/S and Last Jedi.  Very few things are 1/10.    

I find put Pokemon Sword at the same level of The Last of Us 2 concerning. I understand the POV of people who thinks the game is overrated but Pokemon Sword is a much inferior project in every sense. TLOU2 use all capabilities of its system, while Pokemon is a 3DS game with slightly better assets 

Even multiplayer become trash this gen as Gamefreak keeps adding those idiotic mechanics like Dynamax just to keep VGC less and less enjoyable, I didnt even bother to play competitive this gen 

Might not be a 1/10, but surely is mediocre and closer to 1/10 than to 7/10  

In the bolded part you talk about production value, and I find it concerning that you seemingly put that as a deciding criterion for game quality. Going after this, no AAA gamecan ever be seen as bad, as at least the poured enough resources into it to create shiny graphics and modern systems. But a game with low production value like Among Us, can be so much more enjoyable than a soulless AAA game.

Sure, using all capabilities of the system can be verys good, but only if it supports an actual good game at it's core.

My comment shouldn't be projected at TLOU2 or Pokemon Sw/Sh in particular, as I played neither game and have no opinion on them. But I would object on a general principle to putting too much importance on big budget production value.
