Favorite: either Squeenix or Nintendo

Least favorite: EA (I'm not sure I've played a single one of their games, and besides maybe for the Bioware stuff I don't think I'm even hypothetically interested in any of them unless I'm overlooking something... impressive for such a huge developer!)

Not sure about most overrated since I don't think EA's rep is very good

Favorite: Capcom (RE would probably be enough, but count in DMC, Dino Crisis, Onimusha, MVC, Okami, Viewtiful, Rival Schools, etc. and that's even more golden)

Least: Ubisoft for producing almost nothing but bland-open world trite

Overrated: Maybe Square Enix? Even though they can have some great stuff too I feel they never live up their true potential.

Favorite: Nintendo. Most of my favorite games are from them and aside from that I've just enjoyed most of their games that I've played.

Least favorite: I guess it'd be something with a bad reputation like EA? I don't know, from a personal view I don't really have one

Overrated: Nintendo again. They've been putting out some real poorly done/lazy releases lately, but those games still light the world on fire and their future games will too even if they continue that trend. It's not so much "Nintendo is bad" as it is "Nintendo's mistakes have no consequences"

Favorite: Probably Supergiant, and that was even without Hades. Just such a high quality with every title and a great work atmosphere

Least Favorite: This one's hard, because the easy choices are more those companies being publishers rather than developers. That being said, I might still have to say Activision.

Overrated: Another I'm not sure about. And this one I might not even have an answer for this time.

Historically or at this very moment? I'm just going with the former

Favorite: Rockstar
Least Favorite: Don't really have one, but let's say Square Enix
Most Overrated: Too many to choose from (Square/Capcom/Naughty Dog), but despite them being one of my favorite developers, I think that I feel like it may have to be Nintendo

Favorite: Nintendo
Least: Naughty Dog
Overrated: Bethesda?

I dunno, usually if I dislike a game from a dev I won't play many more, so the latter two are a bit tough. Tempted to pick Sony as a whole for both of the latter two, since I've disliked almost all their first party games the last two gens! Rockstar would be a good pick for worst/most overrated too.

Favorite: Rare, I enjoy a bunch of their obscure games as well as some of their poorly received ones. Plus a lot of their classics are some of my favorites.

Least Favorite: EA, it's an obvious answer, but for good reason.

Most Overrated: Nintendo, not only do their business practices suck, but the fanbase also jerks them off to no end. I do still enjoy a vast majority of their games tho.

Favorite: Either FromSoftware or ATLUS, basically depends on who last put out a major title (so generally FromSoft)
Least Favorite: Activision
Most Overrated: Bethesda, never got into their style of open-world and they seem to be getting shittier with time. Although the gamers have soured on them since F76 so maybe they're no longer overrated. If so then I sadly have to echo the Nintendo picks because they're easily the developer I've been most personally disappointed with in modern times

I definitely did not forget to put the 2020 GOTD Guru winner, azuarc in my sig!

Favourite: Arkane Studios. You can see a clear progression and growth in confidence over their development history, and that's something I really appreciate. They've come into their own with the last few games and few developers in the 3d can match their vision in level design and player movement.

Least: Treyarch/Infinity Ward. It seems like every new Call of Duty game is built on some neoconservative fantasy while rewriting actual American war crimes and placing the blame on current targets of American imperialism.

Overrated: Santa Monica Studio. When they're not being lauded for just okay character action games with gross gender politics, they're getting pats on the back for pushing the medium forward with techniques dozens of smaller, less prestigious developers use without drawing attention to it. The very definition of outstretched reputation (that said, the last GOW was fine).

Favorite: Capcom (One of the all-time greats by any metric, and the redemption era has been an absolute delight.)

Least Favorite: Can't really answer this one since I generally love developers in general just for doing what they do. There's a ton of awful publishers out there though so if we're counting those then it's EA like everyone else is saying.

Most Overrated: Platinum (I absolutely love all of their final products, but the business side of this company is such a train wreck that it's actually kind of a miracle that they're still able to make games at all.)

FromSoft would probably be high on my list for most overrated too, but I haven't played Sekiro yet and that looks like I'd enjoy it more than the others they've put out.

Telltale

I think this was a good pick for overrated a few years ago. But I think the public perception of them since their downfall has soured to a point where they are like bordering on unfavorable
