Most Overhated Open-World Games

For those who are not yet aware, “rage bait” is officially the word of the year 2025, so it’s not surprising that online hate levels are what they are today. This is true for gaming, as more and more games become targets for massive hate online or even boycott movements for various reasons — in many cases, even prior to a game’s release. While it’s not always unjustified, the modern audience tends to quickly come up with labels such as “masterpiece” or “trash,” and it can be literally impossible to turn the tide of negative perception once it has been established.
