15 Most Overrated Video Games Since 2000
3. Quantum Break
I'm still blown away by quite how well Quantum Break did in its reviews, as save for Giant Bomb's Jeff Gerstmann and myself (who went with two and three stars respectively) the vast majority were positive, earning it a comfy 77 on Metacritic.
Thing is... it's pretty bad, like surprisingly so, for the guys that brought you Max Payne and Alan Wake.
Combat is as tight as you'd expect, but everything around it; the character of Shawn Ashmore having zero backstory, the line deliveries being so 'off', the plot being all over the place and the tie-in TV show ultimately being pointless, irrevocably tarnish the final product.
