Almost every single major AAA game. For example: GTA, CoD, Battlefield, The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, FIFA, Madden, Silksong, Ghost of Tsushima/Yotei, Mario and Zelda (any of them), etc. If it’s a AAA game, there’s a decent chance I have no interest in it.
I find when people don’t like any of what AAA has to offer, its usually because they’ve found a subgenre or niche that is extremely their jam, and the big budget games usually aren’t aiming at that market.
I don’t think Silksong is a AAA game. It’s a $20 game made by an indie developer with a relatively small team. It just happened to have a lot of hype because it’s the predecessor to the insanely popular Hollow Knight.
OK, hyped, yes, but by who? I bet 90% of the people who hyped it and bought it ended up enjoying it. And that’s justified. Not over hyped. What OP was thinking of Silksong is probably media exposure.
Silksong isnt AAA. But yes, every triple A game is shit. The marketing is just very good, people are told they are good games and they should enjoy them. Truth is, all the good games are indie games.
You’re right about Silksong. I’ve updated the comment.
I won’t say that every AAA game is shit. There are some ones I love and clearly the yearly FPS and sports games have their market that I’m just not in, but I’m very happy to see indie games become more mainstream outside of PC, and even more happy that I’m seeing physical releases for some of them.

And I’m finding Hollow Knight insufferable. Mostly because I suck.

Gotta be rage bait
