Games that are generally considered the peak of their series that you thought were overrated or other games were better.

[Kaunisto]

I played Civ 1 so much back in the day that when I did get Civ 2, I didn't have much interest to it (nor ever since).
Decades later (just couple years ago) I finally returned to Civ with 4 and I did enjoy that like the first almost thirty years earlier.

FF6 is my favorite of the series. But I also like 9 better than 7 or 8.
