Breath of the Wild.
Empty World, awful combat, worst story zelda game , lack of any good characters, korean mmo fetch quests, bad writing. 97 for this game is a joke.

I find many of them very good. I am a fan of retro games, so I usually go for games inspired by older games. Like Shovel Knight, Shantae, Axiom Verge, The Messenger, Dead Cells, Blazing Chrome, River City Girls etc. I know what I like, so I dont need to try every game just to be sure. I dont like just walking around, looking at things and solving some mystery, so I dont play games like that. Now not all indie games I play turn out to be as good as they seem in the trailer, but they usually cost alot less than bigger games, so its not that big of a deal.

For me personally, RDR2 was extremely overrated. I loved the heck out of RDR1, tied for my favorite game of all-time in fact, but RDR2 I had many issues with. Main characters weren't as interesting, side characters and quests weren't as good, story was overly slow paced, over-focus on realism with eating to regen health, clothing for different weather, horse care, fast travel being downgraded, etc. really drug it down with tedious busy work. I couldn't even bring myself to finish it I was so disappointed. 

Though I haven't played it, TLOU 2 also seems very overrated. Having read what happens in the game, I can see myself being pissed if I had been a huge fan of the first game and then played TLOU 2, I fully understand why so many TLOU 1 fans don't like it. I feel bad for the fans of the first who hate the 2nd and now have to watch it winning GOTY awards, that would be like if The Last Jedi won best picture at the Oscars. 

Basically every game FromSoftware released this gen, and Souls-like's in general. I just don't understand why people like these Souls-like games. I really tried to get into Sekiro, but the difficulty curve is just too high, I just can't derive enjoyment from throwing myself at a brick wall for an hour or more trying to get past a difficult boss fight. How did Elden Ring win most anticipated for 2021? I just don't understand it.

A few others I found overrated at least somewhat:

• Horizon: Zero Dawn- It's a fun game and I am still hyped for the sequel, but it was overrated by critics for sure, it's a low 80's game imo. 
• Spider-Man Miles Morales- I enjoyed the first game (though the open world activities were quite tedious) but I have no idea why this is reviewing as high as it is, it's basically a short DLC pack that should have been $20 tops, no playable Peter Parker (Peter Parker himself got downgraded with the new mo-cap actor who looks way too young). 
• Zelda BOTW- People act like it is GOTG, but from what I've seen of it it doesn't seem like my cup of tea at all, weapon durability system sucks, seems too exploration heavy.
• Mario Odyssey- Though I've always found Mario overrated so this should be no surprise. 
• Ark: Survival Evolved- I really wanted to like this game because there are too few dinosaur games, but it all feels so janky and pointless. No storyline that I could find, progression system made no sense.

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.

I always understood overrated as a game with scores and praise bigger than what the game deserves

While overhyped is a game with higher expectations and buzz from fans, studios, media or community that just doesn't delivery it

One is more about quality hence ratings, other is more about expectations/advertising hence hype

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

Not really. They're different in that you can only overrate a game after it releases and overhype it before it releases. I'd say Cyberpunk was overhyped (expectations were way too high) but definitely not overrated (few if any people are calling it an amazing game. Plus just look at the console review scores.)

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.
