10 Video Games Nobody Admits Are Annoyingly Overrated

8. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Metacritic: 94

There's a reason the whole world freaked the F out over Skyrim - Oblivion just wasn't that good.

Yes, it was the biggest world we'd ever seen on consoles to date, and yes there was an incredibly worthwhile feel to exploration and drinking in its various hills and valleys. However, the supremely unsatisfying combat, copy n' paste village layouts and 'seen one, seen 'em all' feel to the Oblivion gates themselves quickly made many of us question just what was worth championing.

Retrospectively it's testament to just how impressive that opening landscape shot was that Oblivion is held in such high regard, as scratch away at the surface and its gameplay has never truly held up.
