15 Most Overrated Video Games Of The Decade (So Far)

9. The Walking Dead: Season 2

Telltale Games are a studio with one good idea; why not tell a 'choose your own adventure'-style tale, with all the trimmings of modern game design?

A solid concept, and one that worked wonders with the first season of The Walking Dead - although since then the team have stretched themselves so thin amongst a ridiculous amount of projects (from a Game of Thrones tie-in to Minecraft, of all things) that their flagship frontrunner felt completely malnourished.

Save for a very intense seen in the opening episode that'll strike a chord with animal lovers, the rest of season two was completely throwaway. Gone was any overarching drive to discover something (like what happened to Clem's family in the first) and in was a series of grey moral choices, simply because that's what's expected.

In the end you didn't care if anyone survived, as many of their actions and death scenes were either predictable or laughably bad. And when the only great character is a villain you only love watching because he's such a vile monster in the first place, it speaks wonders as to how far Telltale had fallen since the first one.
