It obviously just comes down to preference. 

I'd nominate Bioshock as being the most overrated. Possibly GTA IV. 

Journey is one of my favourites. The soundtrack is absolutely incredible and was perfectly synced with the beautiful visuals. The movements were satisfying and I liked how it was open to interpretation. Its just a very unique game. 

Its only something I would play through once or twice though, similarly to how you can watch a movie and really enjoy it, but you know you will never watch it again. Its kind of a once off experience. 

I played through it about 20 times. It's a different experience with different people. In one of my play throughs I met up with someone also interested in exploring behind the scenes. We managed to find a way to get out of the level in the caves scene by boosting each other with the maxed out scarves. We explored there in the dark for nearly an hour, magical experience. Also with the maximum scarf boost you can speed run entire sections while boosting each other. No need to build the bridge or activate the platforms in the large tower. At the end you can communicate by drawing things in the sand, but you already sort of developed a language by pinging during the game.

I met a lot of awesome people from all over the world while playing Journey, it was a great experience. And that soundtrack is so powerful, great stuff, especially while skiing downhill and flying up at the end. Plus so touching when you both struggle to get one more step forward, pings slowly dying out while struggling in the snow.

Man, I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen someone mention Journey since like... 2014?

It’s a pretty looking game I guess... lol.

Sony just gave it away for free because of the coronavirus.

Well Sony is giving it for free so slinging some dirt on it was unavoidable.

I personally feel it is overrated. Probably one of the most overrated games.
I never got into it and never beat it. No matter how much I tried to like it.

It is funny that so many people think it is overrated because they don't like it... If that was a criterea any game over 80 should be called overrated because there will be plenty of people that don't like the game.

I enjoyed the 1 hour of gameplay it gave me but it really wasn't anything special.

Highly overrated.

Why? Journey is about the Journey of life. You are born. You go through the path that is life then you die. All it is. Just a metaphore.
