Mine is that Elden Ring is very overrated, the open world is bloated and the entire thing would benefit from being maybe half as small or at least condensing dungeons/things to do. It has a bunch of random shit everywhere but none of it is compelling or fun to do and basically useless aside from sometimes having good items. They're also almost all exactly the same shit over and over. The weapon upgrade system is anti-fun and keeps you from experimenting with anything new. Many of the quests are basically impossible to do without a guide. The platform sections are trash, though thankfully not too widespread at least. The game just gives you too many random shit items, too. The melee combat isn't that fun either, but that is more of a personal preference I guess. I played a sort of battle mage type character so I had a variety of spells to cast at least. I didn't hate it at all, but by the last 1/4 of the game or so I was just ready to finish and probably would have quit if I didn't feel compelled to beat it. I would say it's a 7/10, people act like it's the greatest game of all time though.
Probably not as unpopular but Jap games (maybe more specifically JRPGs, that's mostly what I've played) in general just have way too much random bullshit. They'll come up with a good gameplay system but add like twice as much shit in it than is needed.

The likelihood of me ever playing a triple A game for the rest of my life is zero. The likelihood of me playing a Nintendo game for the rest of my life is also zero.
Text based games need to make a comeback as well.
The less/worse graphics a game has the more interested I am in playing it. Pixel art is good but spreadsheets and numbers are better.
Using your phone as your main gaming platform of choice will probably become standard and the App Store will see less poorly made schlock and more professional, well made games come to it. This last one is not a prediction it's already happening and I am enjoying it immensely. You probably can't play the newest COD but any single player game can probably be ported over to mobile and remain enjoyable to play.

Text based multiplayer games still exist - they're only populated by boomers and libertarians who typefrick their libertarian friends. I do not recommend it.
