I remember this adventure game called El Dorado that I used to play many years ago and absolutely loved it. I think I played it around the time that Syberia came out. I liked them both almost equally. Several years I found out that it's rated in 30s range. I still think the game was fabulous

Rellik · Jan 12, 2017

Off the top of my head, Alone in the Dark.

There may be something lower, but I can't think of one right now.

A Dead Diehard · Jan 12, 2017

Shadow the Hedgehog. The gameplay problems had their work around, and the edge was delicious.

As far as unironic enjoyment... I'd say Dragon Age 2

Anth0ny · Jan 12, 2017

sonic 06

the game is a treasure

Acquiescence · Jan 12, 2017

Silent Hill: Downpour maybe? That's sitting at a lowly 64 or something on Metacritic and it was still one of my favourite games of its year.

Stallion Dan · Jan 12, 2017

Operation Raccoon City

It was fun in co-op and the PvP with zombies, Hunters etc attacking at same time was fun.

Skulldead · Jan 12, 2017

Secret of the star from tecmo on snes

Also N3

remember EDF 2017 on 360 had really bad meta critic too.

swearing-circle · Jan 12, 2017

Vampire Rain.

It's a crappy splinter cell with vampires. Once you get used to how the game works it's pretty enjoyable in a cheesy kinda way.

I finished it and really liked it but I can understand where most of the hate comes from.

Devilgunman · Jan 12, 2017

Knack. It's a solid beat'em up game.

Fewr · Jan 12, 2017

DK Jr. Math

It's a great 2P nerdy party game.

ElBoxyBrown · Jan 12, 2017

Battleborn if we're going by GAF's rating.

Disagree Guy · Jan 12, 2017

World Cup South Africa 2010

The best football game I have ever played. Absolutely perfect gameplay wise.

Taking India to the world cup final online multiple times took mad skillz.....

It was the last FIFA with no 'bullshit'

Mupod · Jan 12, 2017

God Hand is the infamous example but it actually didn't get reviewed that badly. And obviously the general opinion of it has changed over time.

I liked Splatterhouse 2010 more than I expected. The loadtimes are horrible and it's unpolished but it was a pretty cool game. It was clearly made by people with some love for the originals, and it included those too. In the end Splatterhouse was a generic beat em up series known for its crazy gore, and that's what they made.

edit: also, I liked Deadly Premonition unironically and not just for the characters. The gameplay only REALLY turns to shit near the end, the shooting stuff was inoffensive and the open world town part was actually really neat.

HTK · Jan 12, 2017

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

urge26 · Jan 12, 2017

For some reason I had a great time with Bullet Witch.

StrongBelwas · Jan 12, 2017

Maybe something like, Shellshock Nam' 67

KodaRuss · Jan 12, 2017

Killzone 1. Come at me Gaf. Loved it

Gestault · Jan 12, 2017

ODT for PS1. I can't 100% remember if I finished it, but it was within a year of playing Soul Reaver. It wasn't anywhere near as good, but I still dug it.

Algebrah · Jan 12, 2017

All of the Earth Defense Force games!!!

VesperZ · Jan 12, 2017

Probably Song of the Deep or Bomberman 64

digita1alchemy · Jan 12, 2017

Probably Gotcha Force. Look at this bullshit:

That reviewed really well though.

shanafan · Jan 12, 2017

Not sure on the reviews, but I loved NBA Inside Drive 2003 on OG Xbox.

DagnastyEp · Jan 12, 2017

In somewhat recent memory, that would probably be Remember Me. I thought the game was great, and I love the world that was created, this turned out to be in my top ten for 2013. I hope Dontnod is able to make a sequel someday.

Edit: Also want to add Ryse: Son of Rome. I really enjoyed this game, the action was great, graphics were supper impressive. I even liked the story.

I'm sure there's a few others I'm forgetting.

Smilax · Jan 12, 2017

Sonic 06 babeeeey,

Just something about it, I just found it enjoyable.

silva1991 · Jan 12, 2017

I loved Resident Evil: Dead Aim(65 MC) back in the day.

Skulldead · Jan 12, 2017

R.I.P Cavia Game !

ffvorax · Jan 12, 2017

Probably Deathtrap Dungeon (PS1)... I loved the atmosphere of that game! :O
But controls were terribles, really...
Or maybe Pitfall 3D (PS1)... I found it actually really engaging...
More recently God Hand but that's a great game, and Deadly Premonition, another great game.

CronoShot · Jan 12, 2017

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World

Off-Kilter · Jan 12, 2017

Rad- · Jan 12, 2017

Castlevania: Harmony of Despair has 67 metacritic. That game was pure fun and my top 5 favorite download games of last gen.

There was also a PSX game called Blaze and Blade. It doesn't have metacritic rating but it got scores in the <5 range. It played basically like a multiplayer action RPG mixed with some Zelda-ish puzzles (it had a class system too!). One of my favorite PSX co-op games.

Dark-VIII · Jan 12, 2017

Loved Dawn of Mana back then
mostly coz of the story and the soundtrack

atomic moth · Jan 12, 2017

2X-Treme

I'm guessing it got bad reviews, but it was all we had for a while.

Drillary Clinton · Jan 12, 2017

I really enjoyed Legendary from 2008. Had a really good premise. Fighting one or two giant monsters at a time was such a great change of pace from shooting space marines and Taliban at the time. The controls felt tight to me and I specifically remember one boss fight with two minotaurs in a maze as being incredible. The last hour or so of the game was absolutely awful tho. I never understood the hate for this game.

I also liked the N.A.R.C. reboot from the xbox/ps2.

Mupod · Jan 12, 2017

I almost forgot that there was a time when Monster Hunter games got almost universally terrible reviews. EDF is in kind of a similar spot. I feel like their eventual climb was partly the games getting better, but mostly the reviewers and methods changing over the years. People started to 'get' the games, and reviews started being less about a clinical tally of graphics/sound/gameplay/presentation and more about whether or not that reviewer liked it.

farisr · Jan 12, 2017

Knack. One of my favorite games from this gen and last. Likely doesn't hold up well for solo playthroughs but I played it in co-op on hard with a friend (who also loved it).

We're going to be doing another playthrough about a month or two before Knack 2 releases.

Certinty · Jan 12, 2017

Within the last few years it's probably Knack.

Loved the game, perhaps drags out for a bit too long but on hard difficulty it's still one of the best experiences I've had this gen.

I feel this game is incredibly underrated. I had such a fun time with it. Loved the third/first person switch up.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Subzero. It's a flawed game, but it's honestly really enjoyable once you get the hang of it. (And use infinite lives)

Plumpbiscuit · Jan 12, 2017

Less than 50% on average... one of my favourite games of all time.

D1337 · Jan 12, 2017

Too Human

Horns · Jan 12, 2017

Shadowrun on Xbox 360 has a 66 on metacritic. I've put thousands of hours into it. It was ahead of its time and suffered for being poorly supported by MS. The game play was a like Overwatch and TeamFortress.

TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared · Jan 12, 2017

Sonic 06.

Joseph Merrick · Jan 12, 2017

probably kick off revival at this point. it got slaughtered in reviews. but it's just light on extra features and modes, the game itself is incredibly good.

fireflame · Jan 12, 2017

Deathtrap dungeon, if you overcome camera big problems the game was awesome with big levels and many monsters, cool musics too.

Javier23 · Jan 12, 2017

Boiling Point: Road to Hell, probably.

ShadowSoldier89 · Jan 12, 2017

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII is a 66 on metacritic. So I will go with that

Operation Raccoon City was amazing. The pistol mechanic was so great!

Metroid: Other M, story wasn't that bad but the gameplay was just incredible if you tried to use it. Yes, the hide and seek parts were awful.

Inversion, loved is strong but I really liked it.

TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan, despite its grindy nature, it was great.

Didn't ZombiU get low ratings? That game was amazing.

That was a really cool, really weird game and I didn't realize it was so poorly received. It's not a traditional CV but it's sooo full of great stuff for series fans who gave it a chance.

Murmur · Jan 12, 2017

Too Human

My friend and I played so much of this it's crazy. Would love to play it again lol.
