What highly recommended games have you played but found them overhyped or not as good as you were lead to believe?

I have a couple of examples and this is probably going to sound preference based but I've come across so many must-have indie games there is to find that I just didn't like them.

Risk of Rain 2 - Highly regarded game, many fell in love with it. I didn't like it because it was rogue-like which I admit was an oversight on my part for not knowing what kind of game it was before I got it. I just heard so much about it that I had to try it out. I did and I can kind of see the appeal, it is an absolute for friends.

As solo on the other hand, really a downer.

Dead Cells - A game I recently played hours ago that was also highly recommended and well-received. Another rogue-like (see what I mean?) that I just know I wasn't going to have a lot of mileage in going into this game. But I found a few more things to not like other than that, like the whole blotty pixel kind of visuals I saw in the game. It didn't do much for me overall.

To cut to the chase - I hate roguelikes. Yet, I own copies of many of the best games the genre has to offer like Nuclear Throne, Slay the Spire and even Enter the Gungeon (I've softened up a little on so it's not that hated).
