Does that include Battlespire? I have actually started Battlespire, which is typically not liked as much as the main series TES games, and I am enjoying it so far. It's interesting to have a linear game with a TES style skill growth system.

It's also the reason I appreciate SaGa Frontier 2. The game, in contrast to its (also good) predecessor, is rather linear, but still has the same sort of unconventional growth system. (Also, being at 0 HP at the end of battle doesn't prevent end of battle stat/skill increases.)

well morrowind is crap anyway

Bujingai: The Forsaken City and Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude

and as a game not crappy but at the same time did not receive favorable reviews: The Darkness and Wet

Harbinger. For those of you unfamiliar with it, it was a rogue-like arpg in space, only the maps were static. 3 separate playthroughs though, depending on the character you chose. It's on Gamersgate and gets discounted pretty regularly nowadays.

Haven't tested it with Win 10, but it worked when I used 7.

Super Noah's Ark 3D.

It's a Christian themed Wolfenstein 3D clone for those who do not know. The way the game looks and sounds is so damn surreal to me that after a while, it feels like a strange maze of insanity that just gets stranger and stranger with the additional animals you have to feed and put to sleep.

Disillusions Manga Horror - not the best, but not that bad :)

I haven't played that one. Maybe one day. I do like the TES-type level up system - it's what makes Final Fantasy II so interesting to me. Shame i kind of gets forgotten about, it did that kind of levelling system 6 years before the first TES game came out. It's a shame it always seems to be so exploitable, in FFII and TES alike.

Gothic 3 Forsaken Gods.
Buggy, empty, repetitive, bland... Yeah sure... But I kinda liked it anyway. At time, I really wanted something Gothic 3 related. No matter the mess it was, it was good to me :D

Might&Magic IX.
Insta bought it when it was released. Despite the horrid graphics and the general bugginess of the game, I loved it.

Muddy Heights

Sounds like a rough porn title XD

Just played Dragon Age 2 last week, and I'd now put that game number 1 in this category. It wasn't a genre great by any standards, but I did enjoy it. It even had some pretty funny dialogue between the companions that kept the game going quite well. Basically it's just a BioWare Soap Opera RPG and is pretty par for the course in that respect. Yeah, it reused a lot of assets because it was rushed, but so do a lot of RPG's...The Witcher did it a bit too and no one seems to mention it as a negative for that game. NWN's games are entirely built on reused building block assets as are any construction kit style games.

Damn, there were quite a few of "bad" games that I've enjoyed. A few years ago I decided to check out various games by City Interactive (now CI Games) who were widely known for their crappy shovelware shooters and... I enjoyed them. They weren't innovative or anything, they had simplistic mission design, little content and they looked much worse than AAA shooters at the time but... they actually were kinda good. My mind wasn't blown but I wasn't frustrated either, really had a lot of fun. I was expecting unplayable messes but they were actually really solid stuff from what I recall.

And Judge Dredd: Dredd vs Death. I had a crapload of fun with that one, actually. It felt really original in so many ways and was just fun to play. Other than the ending being a letdown and some of the bonus levels being somewhat broken it was a really great and fun shooter IMO.

Then there was a weird twitch shooter called G.O.R.E.: Ultimate Soldier or something. It was very much like Serious Sam despite being a little older and I had a blast playing that one even though I had already played Serious Sam at the time. It wasn't quite as impressive or polished but it was tons of fun.

Then there was Hunter Hunted, a platform game by Dynamix / Sierra. It seemed to be universally panned back in the day and it's quite painful to look at now but holy crap, the time I've put into that one. Finished the singleplayer campaign, the split screen coop campaign and played tons of deathmatch. And dat soundtrack. Dat soundtrack!

Aaaaand here's a good one: Metro-Police. A game so obscure and universally panned back in the day that nobody seems to remember it. A German open-world action adventure game. Combat sucked, driving sucked, the technical execution sucked but damn, you actually got to interrogate people and solve crimes in an open 3D world... almost 15 years before L.A. Noir.

It's not a crappy game at all, just an average point & click adventure with some weird sense of humor.

I like Realms of Chaos, and I am sure I am not alone. Bio Menace is an average Apogee platformer, so it can't be bad.
