What game do you absolutely love that you know yourself is bad, but love it anyway?

For me, it’s Callisto Protocol. Loved that it was just more Dead Space. Not good by any metric but I liked it.

    Final Fantasy VIII impressed me in my childhood and since then I’ve finished it 4–5 times. The story is a bit of a mess and doesn’t make sense sometimes, the fighting mechanics are peculiar, but the game is very dear to my heart. Thinking about giving it another go now, ha!

      As a kid I picked up VIII before VII (thanks to demo discs) and it has always been my favourite FF game despite its predecessor’s huge shadow. Learning all of the quirks of the games systems felt really rewarding, though I can understand why it didn’t appeal to many.

        I also played ff8 before ff7 and largely prefer it. The combat system is a mess but I’ve grown to like it.
