Was thinking about Lost Planet 2 the other day by Capcom and how much I enjoyed it. I didn’t get the chance to play it co-op or multiplayer but Lost Planet 1’s multiplayer was fun, especially the mode where you can be an alien and fight snow pirates. I think the west just wanted another Gears Of War clone, and even though 2 took a lot of inspiration from Gears (it even featured it’s hero as an unlockable character) wasn’t enough and critics and players panned the game. It’s hard today to find anyone even playing it anymore and it seems to be dead. Shame.

Even I critically pan it, it’s shit, don’t play it. Yet I keep coming back to it every few years because I have a brain disease that makes me obsessed with over-complicated spellcasting systems
Fallout 76
For all the egregious monetization, dearth of NPCs, and hamfisted live service gameplay, there is a good ~20-30 hour Fallout game in there with the Wastelanders update
I don’t know if it was critically panned, but people complained about Bioshock 2 when I thought it was a great follow up to the original.
This is me with some of the older Dead or Alive games. It’s basically a dumbed-down Tekken with some genuinely amazing arenas. I don’t play it for the boobies. If that were my reasoning I’d be playing more Soul Calibur or even pick up Rumble Roses.
I love DOA on the dreamcast. It’s pretty deep tho with the counters and juggle strings.
I enjoyed Back 4 Blood’s little campaign mode and card collecting/deck building. Apparently others didn’t. :/
