What game do you absolutely love that you know yourself is bad, but love it anyway?

For me, it’s Callisto Protocol. Loved that it was just more Dead Space. Not good by any metric but I liked it.

    2-5 times a year I get really into Enlisted. It’s a really grindy free to play game, it feels like 90% of my teammates fail to work toward the objective, and every other round there’s an enemy player that paid for overpowered equipment wiping us out.

    But man, it is a thrill to charge through whizzing bullets to get into the midst of the other team before firing round after round from a lee enfield bolt action. And if I am playing with friends there is constant strategic and tactical chatter that makes it so engaging.

      Hah! That game is such a mess. It is so ridiculously mismanaged I doubt it will ever leave beta. There’s no matchmaking, most of the lobbys are 50%+ bots and the bots are laughably bad in all the worst ways, every single update they break something and introduce new bugs so every update has a follow-up “oops” update trying to fix what they broke. Oh man I could go on and on but despite everything the actual gunplay and the buildable spawn point tactical meta game is actually very fun.

      Oh and the community! A janky Russian WW2 f2p with low moderation? Yep. It’s bad. Really bad.

      It is definitely my guilty pleasure game. It’s full of bots, noobs and console players so just being half decent is enough to make you feel like Rambo out there. I’ve introduced 2 friends to it and they laughed at me for playing it. :(
