Numen: Contest of Heroes is a game that sits at about 50% recommended on steam. I beat it years ago and really enjoyed myself, but I knew it was a unique fit for me. I only say “bad” so that we have common ground, but I value that experience.
What are “bad” games you enjoy?
Okay, as a Sonic fan, I can say with confidence that Sonic the Hedgehog ( Sonic '06 ) was a very rushed game and a lot of fans don’t like it, but I love it. Partially nostalgia and partly loving buggy messes you can sometimes break in your favor.
Same could be said for Sonic Lost Worlds, which has my least favorite special stages on the 3DS version specifically.
Low bar to clear, but it answer the question easily.
A lot of people who grew up with it do like it (it does hold a weird nostalgic spot for me too), and you can actually blame either the Wii’s specs and/or management at Sega for it being as poorly held together as it is. It along with sonic heroes are arguably sonic adventures 3 & 4 since both follow a similar formula to the adventure titles.
Yeah, its pretty broken, but the ways its broken are consistent and if you know how its broken it can actually be a really fun sandbox to fuck around in.
