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

8. Hitman: Absolution

There was a time when Agent 47's cueball-head was as synonymous with gaming as Solid Snake's bandanna or Sam Fisher's goggles - but alas, one swift kick in the lacklustre sequels will put you down for the count.

IO Interactive have since said 47 is returning at some point, but for now the last entry in the series was 2012's extremely underwhelming Absolution; a game that looked positively gorgeous but only had mere remnants of the franchise that came beforehand.

Somehow it was enough to avoid it getting a much-needed critical drubbing, as fans discovered things like not gaining access to the twin silverballer pistols until way later in the game, a focus on action-heavy mechanics, linear level design and worst of all; a disguise system that was completely broken.

No longer could you throw on the clothes of anyone from police officers to janitors and feel comfortable behind enemy lines, now everything was metered; meaning if you ran out of juice for the super stealthy move of lowering your head a little it was alert-stations, no matter how far away the person eyeballing you was.

Please IO, put something out that's as good as Silent Assassin or Blood Money - they were absolutely perfect.
