10 Most Overrated Nintendo Switch Games

2. Pokémon Sword & Shield

A lot of people love Pokémon, so it's to be expected the next main line entry would crack the top 5 of Switch games. Plus, it's not a terrible game, but the bad and inconsistent graphics do smack of it either being rushed to release, or just general laziness.

As the first entry to come to home consoles, everyone was expecting and wanted Pokémon: Breath of the Wild... but instead all we got was an HD 3DS game. That's being generous too, as Sun and Moon were way more expansive and innovative.

It's especially hard to justify when everyone knows how much money Pokémon has behind it; they should be the biggest experiences available and they should be able to create new titles that attract new players. In the end though, if they think they don't have to try, then they won't.

However, the next few entries in the franchise promise to be little bolder and more creative, so fingers crossed! Roll on Pokémon Legends: Arceus, which does look like the true BOTW experience, but we've been burnt before.
