Inspired by me having an itch to replay Bladestorm, a game I know is bad but I liked a lot.

SNK vs Capcom Card Fighters DS

Buggy mess (you can literally get hard locked if you have an earlier release of the game)
Awful balance

But building and playing decks is just fun. I'd love a newer version with more cards

Countdown Vampires honestly. It's such a shoddy RE clone and yet I just love that style so much I replay it all the time.

Does it count if I have no desire to ever actually play the game, but love (re)reading an LP of it? Because if so, Drakengard.

Donkey Kong 64

It has sooo many issues, but I have a lot of fun playing it in short bursts. Probably helps that I just really like Collectathons.

Sometimes I wonder if I really feel this way with Sonic 2006.

Like I love the memes that came out of it, but the game itself was a pretty frustrating experience.

There's a lot of games people shit on that I like and don't consider bad (Devil's Third)

There's games that I see major flaws in that make it difficult for me to recommend without warnings but do sincerely love and think has a lot of merit (Crystal Bearers)

then there's outright bad games that I legit have fun fucking around with (Red Steel)

Oh, I've thought of a good one. The South Park game on Nintendo 64.

That thing got terrible reviews and no one seems to like it, but I loved that it had the voices from the show and me and my friends had a blast with the multiplayer mode.

Castlevania II
I think, in retrospect, Castlevania 2 has a bad rap more than being a bad game. Yes, there are a couple of things that are incredibly difficult to figure out on your own due to the poor translation, but there are a lot of NES games (and PC games of the era, like the various Quest series from sierra) where the developers just expected you to experiment with the game. Honestly I think today's games have a little too much hand-holding in this regard, but with so many games on the market there isn't much room for anything "classically difficult" unless that's what a particular company has built their reputation on.

Maybe it's because I was a dumb kid at the time, but I thought it was fun. I'll skip a replay and keep the fuzzy memories.

One thing that comes to mind is Armageddon Riders on PS3. I didn't play it that much but you can tell within the first few minutes what the game is. You have a fast car with arcade physics and controls (press the left analog in a direction to auto-drift!) and you drive around ramming into zombies and powerups while upgrading it with weapons. Not a good Metacritic score, not very original or deep, but you can drive around like a maniac ramming into zombies with turbo boosts and slides.

Edit: https://store.steampowered.com/app/35310/Clutch/
Steam version. I can't speak for the port quality though. One of the reviews says it's not as good a version.

The Mummy (PS1)

My friends and I would take turns in trying to get past the levels which were janky and very clumsily designed by today's standards. Progressing the game felt very rewarding because we were kids and absolutely sucked at the game.

I went back to it when I was older and even though it was a badly made game, I was hit with nostalgia and I had a blast playing through it till the end.

Many of the late 90s/early 2000s Disney movie tie-ins. Maybe you could argue that they aren't outright bad (and one or two you could argue is legitimately good, looking at you Toy Story 2) but they were mostly better than they had any right to be.

Toy Story 2 and Tarzan were pretty good iirc

Off the top of my head, I think the game with the lowest metacritic average I like is Star Ocean 5. I couldn't get past 4's abysmal voice acting, but other than 5 being lower budget and reusing assets (mainly music, from what I can remember) from the older games, I thought it was solid. I'm still a little surprised it scored as low as it did.

If I had to pick a game that is blatantly flawed, yet I still had fun with it, that'd probably be something like Sonic Heroes.

Can't think of any. I really don't see myself loving a "bad game"
But if I had to say who are the most underrated games in existence?
Resident Evil 6 and Ultra Despair Girls
I don't "love them" but I enjoyed them both and think they deserves much more credit than people gives them

It is a broken husk of a game.

Breaking it and being a geometry momentum-based disaster is more fun than most Sonic games.
