They do not have to be literally 100% removed from the collective gamer memory, however, which are strangely neglected (despite being solid entries)?

I think Resident Evil: Code Veronica is a good example. It wasn't perfect, but it was vastly better than 5 and 6.

Also nobody seems to care about 25th Ward: The Silver Case even though it's Suda51.

The Ghosts 'n' Goblins spinoffs like Gargoyle's Quest, Demon's Crest, and the Maximo games.
Maximo had much love back in the days, but nobody seems to remember him these days.

I had Demon's Crest for the SNES, I loved that game.

I used to have Maximo vs. Army of Zin for PS2, was a fun game. Gameplay-wise, I thought of it as a sort of middleground between Medievil and God of War.

Funny trivia nobody asked for:

The first Medievil is the only game that gave me literal headaches while playing. I think it had to do with how the camera worked but it was terrible I had to quit.

Few people talk about the fun-ness that was Final Fantasy Explorers. And Chocobo Tales wasn't terrible, either.

And Battle Chip Challenge rarely comes up in MMBN discussions despite being a pretty neat spinoff.

Ugh, justified. That game is crap.

For me, probably the Assassin's Creed Chronicles games. I actually like them better then the main series.

Job System.
An otherwise terrible game can be salvaged by tossing in the classic-style Job System. See also: Blue Dragon.

a lot of people don't like it but I really liked Turok: Evolution

Civilization 2: Test of Time was probably my favorite Civ game. I never actually played vanilla Civ 2.

Hexen is in many ways my favorite of the doom engine games.

Pretty much flawless battle / leveling system, way better than X's.

The overworld is way more accessible than the first game.

Doesn't have the annoying Tidus yapping his mouth every 5 minutes.

And the ladies are really easy to look at in their new outfits.

Also X kinda sucks to begin with

Aw man. You officially have my prayers.

On topic, I guess The Elder Scrolls Travels trilogy can fit here. I have heard about Shadowkey once or twice before but I just found out about Stormhold and Dawnstar right this very second. Never played any of them so I couldn't tell you if they're good or not.

Persona 1 & 2, there's alot of forgotten games in the Megami Tensei series but I think these stick out the most to me. I never played them and I hear they're not super great games but it seems that to everybody including the developers the first games might aswell not exist. In the west we only got a horribly translated version of 1 and the second part of 2(Was a duology) and then when the remaster versions of the games came out for PSP we got 1 and the first part of 2.
