Ironically, this $5 train wreck will be landing somewhere in my GOTY Top 5 this season.

Yeah, this is correct. "Unaesthetically pleasing" would be pleasing in ways other than aesthetically.
And I can't think of a better answer than Nidhogg 2.

Aesthetically displeasing games?
Maybe GTA 4. The world is gorgeous, but the characters are all really ugly. And I feel like they sort of did that on purpose. Most characters in the game are horrible people, and their looks match that

Altered Beast is as washed-out and depressing as it is to play.
Nidhogg 2 looks like steaming faeces.
I think it looks dope.

Oh yeah. I HATED the Tron-neon aesthetic they went with. Plus all of the stages were garish as hell and had a ridiculous amount of background noise. The game was a total eyesore.
I honestly don't mind the look of those games (there's definitely a lot worse early 3D out there) and actually feel Majora's murky, low-res graphics really help its gloomy, creepy atmosphere, but I can get why people have a tough time going back to them.
I think Nidhogg 2 is the first game I lost all interest and hype for because of how fucking atrocious it looks. It looks like goddamn rage comics.
Conker had some pretty decent designs and art direction but also some pretty awful art at times too

Them putting eyes on EVERY-FUCKING-THING pisses me off....
Here's an empathetic-looking bucket with eyes, it speaks and speak in gibberish too.
The first one looked really slick! What happened?Nidhogg 2 looks like steaming faeces.
Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite is an easy one but I think MvC3 looks pretty ugly too. Basically every Capcom fighter from 2008 onwards that isn't Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. I shudder to think of what a new Darkstalkers would look like.

Shadow Complex is really bland. I'm not even sure if it even has an art style. Just butt ugly and directionless.
Donkey Kong Country and any other game that has that weird 2D cgi look to it.

Salt and Sanctuary is very unpleasant to look at.
It's displeasing at max too.
My pick is Mario 64. Horrid low res, low poly blocks mess with horrible artstyle.

Does Mario having dotted eyes on everything make you mad too?
minecraft low settings
Honestly? This minecraft(and Classic) looks so much more appealing and soothing to me than MC has in a long time

correct about everything
i don't think there is a single 3d sidescroller that looks good.
Is the topic title a mistake? Because I took it to mean enjoyably ugly games.
Because I submit the character art style for Hotline Miami, which is sorta deliberately hideous in an awesome way.
YYYYIKES.

This.whoever thought this garish incomprehensible character design was a good idea should never be hired to do art for any consumer facing products ever again.
I kinda liked how it looked. The darker strokes and colors, etc....though I agree. XD
Just no.I loved Braid but it was ugly as shit.
Inside is a 3D sidescroller.

While Twilight Princess is my favorite game and having 2 tats of it (wolf link and imp midna) it looks pretty meh these days cuz the game aged badly looks wise.
Kinda hoping that in 10 years or less it gets remade with new graphics.
Same for alot of older other games too i think a new fresh lick of paint will do some classic 3D games and games with badly aged graphics alot of good.

Zelda BotW's washed out foggy environment with low res blurry textures.
As much as I like the game, it's certainly not pleasing to look at.
