10 Video Games Nobody Admits Are Annoyingly Overrated

Metacritic: 92
Talk about games that ruined franchises - GoW III took Kratos from "Revenge-filled antihero" to "Just kind of an a**hole".
Across the game you're treated to such delights as Kratos slaughtering the otherwise-helpful Cronos, throwing random prisoners into cogs to solve puzzles and worst of all, sleeping with Hephaestus' wife Aphrodite - only for the former to find out, which results in him also being killed.
All these story elements were made even more unbearable thanks to yet more 'square, square, triangle' combos, and seeing the developers resort to "And then Kratos got angry and killed them" as the end to every scene.
It goes without saying that God of War: Ascension was mired by the overblown repetition present here, forcing Sony to go back to the drawing board and redesign what God of War even 'is' for his 2018 reboot.
