In our current day and age it is very easy to get hyped up about games and you will see 10/10, 100/100 reviews all around for these massive hyped up games. But then I've noticed a trend where not long after the release of these games, you start seeing a more negative or a more realistic look at these games. And I'm talking about games like Spider-Man, God of War, Red Dead Redemption and so forth. Where games after release really aren't those 10/10s that we believed they are. And the most prominent one I am talking about is Red Dead Redemption(I have to admit that it's in my pile of shame because I've had it since launch and haven't played it). I see a lot of complaints about Red Dead Redemption 2 ranging from controls etc. I think Spider-Man was good and I enjoyed it but I did find it very average in many way. And then there are games that received no hype at all that I thought was great or games that reviewed poorly which I enjoyed(Elex comes to mind. But I am a PB fan so I was going to enjoy it anyway) and plenty of other games that reviewed poorly or average at best that I thought was fantastic. I'd like to hear you guys opinion regarding games when it comes to hype vs. reality. Which games do you think reviewed great but aren't all that great and average or games no one has heard of or didn't review well. But were some of the greatest experiences you've ever had. And they don't have to be new or very recent games. It can be any game from any platform.
