Someone recently posted a topic about "bad" movies, but what about "bad" games? That is, games that are generally considered to be not that good, but which you nevertheless enjoy playing every now and then?

For me, I'd put Quest 64 on my list.

Edit: Why the low rating?

Daggerfall
Cyberpunk 2077
Watch_Dogs (apparently)
DmC Devil May Cry (reboot)
Uru: Ages Beyond Myst. The skeleton of a MMO with hardly any of the real puzzles of the previous series in a slightly wonky 3D engine.

Suggestion for someone else to take: Black & White.

Still going with what I tend to say when it comes to unpopular gaming opinions, the positive ones at least: Heroes of Might and Magic IV. And the first Two Worlds tended to draw bad opinions too but I liked it (unlike the second).
Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing.
Total Overdose
Deus Ex: Invisible War
Demon Stone
Daikatana
Bad Day L.A.
Daikatana
Unreal 2
Quake 4
Two Worlds II
Van Helsing Final Cut
Aechimedean Dynasty
Space Hulk: Deathwing
Red Faction: Armageddon
Bombshell
Singularity
TimeShift
There's a few, but I'll pick Two Worlds. It's clearly a deeply flawed game, but gosh darn it if I didn't enjoy every minute of it.
low rated
another oxymoron thread title. People are getting really, really lazy.
I'll stick mostly to my GOG library for this one.

Lands of Lore 2 is usually considered to be weaker than Lands of Lore 1, but it's easily the game that I've sunk the most hours into in the trilogy. The voice acting, music and almost ridiculous amount of secrets to be found keep me coming back. As far as other games in this series go, I've completed 2 & 3, but not 1 yet. Even though I did enjoy 1 quite a bit and only had the final area left in my longest playthrough.

I've read a few times that Quest for Glory 5 is not a favorite of many, but I quite enjoyed it (Though my favorite continues to be 4)

Shadowrun: Dragonfall is often considered to be the best of the Harebrained Schemes Trilogy, but I slightly prefer Shadowrun: Hong Kong for a number of reasons. Limited resource management and characters being two of them.

....meh I suppose none of these are truly "bad" games. Ah well.

oh no
how horrible
Hellgate London, there's a sturdy skeleton to this game, unfortunately all the meat is rotten.
Duke Nukem Forever & Alien: Colonial Marines

Love both of these games - flaws and all. They are both so "bad" and campy that they become fun to play and more so if I'm drunk.
Bad games - none.
Well, maybe Cartman's Authoritah back in the days, but that was a freeware amateur game made with something like Klik and Play. :D

Or Press X Not To Die, but that one is intentionally so bad that it's kind of good.

Somewhat flawed or even mediocre games that I think received rather lukewarm reviews or ratings in the average range:

Sword Coast Legends
Tales from Candlekeep: Tomb of Annihilation
The Last Tinker: City of Colors
Avencast - Rise of the Mage
Venetica
Binary Domain
Remember Me
Murdered: Soul Supect
Shadwen
Submerged
Hunted: The Demon's Forge
Blood Knights
Cornerstone: The Song of Tyrim
The Girl and the Robot
