I'm fairly critical, so there's not too many on my list, but the biggest one is that I liked Quest 64 (somehow) when I was younger.
I also love La Mulana 1&2, along with Deadly Premonition, though those are more "cult hits" aka critical failures that 'widely disliked'. But, I'd definitely hesitate to recommend any of them to someone unless I thought they'd be into it.
I think I'm alone with thinking that Bubsy 3D isn't all that bad.
it's interesting and ambitious for its time, but it aged poorly right from the start. It came out about 2 months after both Super Mario 64 and Crash Bandicoot, both games that nailed the formula a lot more smoothly. Although Bubsy 3D definitely laid the foundations for later 3D platformers. The art direction is kinda cute too, like a Chuck Jones era cartoon.
thoughts on Gex?
