This is a question I've had on my mind for a while now, especially since I've gotten back into the Zelda series recently (took a lengthy break after I put in 130+ hours into BotW). There are games that are generally recognized as being great, amazing, or even the best of all time (Super Mario 64, FFVII, Ocarina of Time, Resident Evil 2, Metroid Prime, etc.), but I'm sure there are some who either don't love or genuinely dislike some of these games.
For me, it's Ocarina of TIme. I've played it, beaten it, and it just didn't do anything for me. I can recognize how incredible it was for its time (haha), but there is essentially nothing that it does that later Zelda games didn't do better. The story is okay, the gameplay is fairly clunky and tedious (even on 3DS), and the dungeons are some of my least favorite in the 3D titles. While I don't have the advantage of having played this when it first came out, I also don't have nostalgia to blind me from its faults. It's just not a game that I particularly liked or enjoyed as much as most have.
So, what game(s) have you had this kind of experience with? Where you saw the hype, read the reviews, heard it be lauded as an experience to beat all others and expected to have a great time, but just didn't?
