10 Video Games Nobody Admits Are Annoyingly Overrated

3. Persona 5

Metacritic: 93

There comes a time in every Persona fan's life, when they have to admit Persona 5 just isn't that good.

Whether it's the languid pacing that means even 40 hours in, you haven't been given sufficient motivation to continue, forgettable characters that receive only a handful of personality traits seemingly plucked from a hat, the pointless dialogue options that don't change anything or the horrifically awkward way the game leers at its female characters, the heart present across Persona 1-4 just isn't here.

Honestly, it takes upwards of 55 hours for anything resembling a conflict or interesting story point to emerge, as before then you've got repetitive dungeon designs, over-tutorialisation of basic elements and overblown enemy characters who appear evil for evil's sake.

Its turn-based battling feels snappy and engaging in the moment, but when after 10, 20, 30 hours, almost nothing has changed, that's a real problem.
