10 Most Overrated Video Games Of 2016

10. Gears Of War 4

You certainly couldn't call Gears of War 4 a bad game by any stretch of the imagination, but the 84 Metascore feels hugely overblown when you consider that this is an incredibly familiar, garden variety GoW game that brings almost nothing new or memorable to the table.

The campaign is a fun but forgettable blast-a-thon best played with friends for maximum entertainment factor, and the game's replay value is ultimately propped up by an enjoyable but, again, rather samey multiplayer suite.

Also, the new characters, namely Marcus Fenix's block-of-wood son JD, just aren't cutting it.

There are worse things to be than consistently average, but given that this was the first GoW game to release on the Xbox One, expectations were naturally set rather high. The end result is merely satisfactory.
