Most overrated game of the past gen?

Secondly, while you may not like Cyberpunk 2077, plenty of people do, myself included. It was overhyped, and it isn't as good as it was supposed to be. But it's still fun for an awful lot of people.

Isn't that exactly what 'overrated' means? If it means anything at all.

I don't consider overhyped and overrated as being the same thing.  Overrated is a game like RDR2, where it is a 7/10 game sitting at a 97 on MC.  The problem here is some people may buy the game expecting more than what they are getting, based on the score it has alone.

Overhyped is a game like Death Stranding.  The game was hyped to high hell and back, and sits at a somewhat fair 82 on MC.  However many found the game disappointing, because it was no where near what they thought it would be.  The issue here is that a decent game could have its enjoyment hindered due to failure to meet expectations, and can sometimes even result in a lower score than deserved (leaving it under rated).  Death Stranding is not underrated itself, but you get my point.

Having said that, it is possible for a game to be both overhyped AND overrated...but the actual definition between the two are very different.
