Relatively and based off my own perception of the game's popularity and reception, of course

Pokémon Scarlet

Resident Evil 3

Overhated in general; It does what it sets out to do well enough. Most haters can't accept it's not trying to be the same experience as RE2R or RE3 OG

Underrated in general
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux

Overhated in general; I think it's a mostly good version, including the new endings, but Alex does suck I'll agree with that.
Metroid: Samus Returns
Metroid: Samus Returns
