10 Most Overrated Video Games Of The Past Decade

10. Halo 5

Talk about a broken record. The Halo franchise has been spinning its wheel ever since the third game came out in 2007. The fact that Microsoft was happy to run the franchise into the ground while Sony gave studios like Guerrilla Games the opportunity to spread its creative wings, spoke volumes of the companies - though that rhetoric seems to be changing over at Microsoft.

Anyway, many figured Halo 5 would be another step in the right direction after the first decent, albeit safe, instalment from 343 Industries. Halo 5's marketing promised an epic duel between Master Chief and Locke, but that is so far from what we got.

Instead, the campaign was an absolute slog from start to finish with almost nothing in the game mirroring the marketing. The gameplay itself was solid as always, and the multiplayer was tight, but the whole package left a lot to be desired.

Halo 5 holds a head-scratching 83% on Metacritic, but as the devs are shaking off numbered instalments and we're gearing up for Halo Infinite, it seems there will never be a Halo 6, as it were.
