One of the highlights of my bi-yearly replay. Every time. Don't know why people hate it.

I seriously liked Redfall more than its reputation implies. I mean, it is a 7/10 game at best but it just feels good to play it. I completed it after they released 60 fps patch but I keep coming back to it once in a while.
Recore is great and I really enjoyed the new Battletoads game.
Speaking of old games, there was this Farcry-type open world game before it was a thing. I think it was called Boiling Point and is probably 20 years old. I have never heard anyone talk about it but I remember being impressed by it.

Wii Sports Resort was worth it for the chill flying game alone.

As an action game it was fine. I think the entire appeal to me is a Japanese take on the setting.
I think it would been better as its own things and not using Dante and Vergil.

A lot of people roast Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, and I understand why. I went in prepared to hate it for its seemingly random departure from the classic formula. I ended up loving it though, and I'd kill for a spiritual successor that expanded on the physics-driven build-your-own concept.
Damn straight.

pre combat upgrade its the greatest MMO ever to have existed and i will fight anyone who says otherwise.
Not even its own player base liked it.....so they changed everything to appease "that crowd" and the game died. Pre-NGE Star Wars Galaxies was one of my favorite games of all time.

Tales of Zestiria, absolutely. This game gets a lot of flak, and a good chunk of it is deserved, especially for the cosmically arcane upgrade system and the abrupt turns in the story (and not-ironed out combat in non-instanced arenas), but the big criticism that I can't agree with is that this game is boring or uncreative. It's an Arthurian journey led by a happy-go-lucky bookworm in a big, exciting world, accompanied by magical quasi-deities that wield sealing paper, pendulums, and umbrellas as weapons. It lives up to its namesake of being zesty, and the game looks damn good too when uncapped from its 30fps cage. It's a very flawed game but its enthusiasm really shines through imo.
I'm the really weird one here, because I think this game is pretty great while Tales of Xillia is weak af. It's not across the board loved but even the mid rating I've seen from some people baffles me. It's the most by-the-numbers, rushed-out-the-door title in the series.

I guess for me its Death Stranding. I enjoyed the game, it's bloated and not as deep as MGS, but I had a lot of fun with what was there.
I got the platinum for the game.

I don't think it's that uncommon to say Mass Effect 1 is the best in the trilogy. In fact I think that's become a more popular view over time.
For the topic itself, this is basically "which 5/10 game do you love."
I love games that are allegedly bad. I end up liking most of them.
Off the top of my head Mass Effect Andromeda, Days Gone, Suikoden IV, and State of Decay 2 come to mind.

Any developer is welcome to try and create an answer to the promise that Bioware made with the ME1 marketing. I thought the first entry was a decent shot at it and was hyped to see it grow. When the sequel narrowed the scope I felt like the only bummed person on launch day. Every gaming media outlet was saying how great it was and I thought it was a big step back to just become a TPS with dialog choices. Thermal clips gtfo.

Loved some of the games you listed and I played (Majin, El Shaddai, The Order, The Sinking City) but I really don't understand your inclusion of Aludra in this list : always been pretty sure it has always been considered an essential PS1 game, pretty close to a masterpiece, so I don't get what it has to do it in this thread

I get it, it's not what people want out of these franchises.
But if you can sort of look at them in a vacuum I think all 3 are really fun Co-Op games that I had a blast playing through with friends.
My appreciation for them has actually only gone up over the years because I really fucking miss these types of games: Linear, decently paced, action packed 10-15 hours long co-op games.
Not some bloated open world or a grindy GAAS looter shooter were we have to play through the same content again and again to grind for color coded loot.

Going through my recent playlist I have:
The Order 1886
Star Wars Force Unleashed (especially the sequel where you're really overpowered)
Hellblade 1+2
Quantum Break
Castlevania Mirror of Fate
Watch Dogs 1
Wolfenstein Youngblood
God of War Ascension (which nobody ever talks about)
I also enjoyed Redfall quite a bit despite being a horribly broken mess at launch. This game deserved better.

It was Snake Simulator and I fucking loved that it let me listen to tapes of Wagner while sending a Jeep strapped with explosives into a checkpoint.
I get the complaints in hindsight but the fact it kind just ends randomly didn't elicit more than a confused shrug from me. I kept playing the next day. Also online invasions were killer. I liked that component a lot and spent quite some time on that also.

This being good is common knowledge.

Thought of another one
My friends made fun of me so much because of the RE1 style “tank” controls, the simple gameplay, and the shitty graphics.
I didn’t care, I had the time of my life exploring that fucking castle as D. Will always cherish this game.

Resident Evil 6. If it was not called Resident Evil, it would have scored higher. Halo 5's multiplayer is my favourite in the series. The campaign was so awful that I wish they had done what Activision did with Black Ops 4 as it drags down the whole thing.

I really enjoyed Dragon Age 2. Liked the cast, how combat worked even tho it wasn't as good as DA1 it was still a lot of fun. My only problem was reusing the dame dungeon assets again and again, but seems like everyone else hated the narrative and the combat and everything else.
Also Mass Effect Andromeda, the plot and characters were bad compared to other Bioware games but the combat was great, and the multiplayer was fantastic.
While not hated widely, Vandal Hearts on PS1 does not get the attention it deserves. Also MotorStorm Pacific Rift on PS3.
Can't believe so many people are championing Resident Evil VI. The combat felt awful compared to 4 and 5, graphics got noticeably worse, plot and characters are complete trash. What is there to like about it compared to 4 and 5?

I loved the world building, creatures, graphics, and music. I enjoyed the puzzles as well. I borrowed it to a friend who agreed with me, but apart from us, no one seemed to agree.

Ngl when Hellblade was announced, I fully expected it to be Heavenly Sword 2 with Kai as main character.
