This Game is Bad, Actually!
The opposite phenomenon to my previous list. All the previous disclaimers apply. I have played only the first three on this list
12 Games
I have actually played this one, you can find my awful mess of a review here. Much like K&L2 I think its not as good or bad as its made out to be by its detractors or supporters.
This one is arguable, but a widely praised game on release, perhaps disliked by the smaller existing fanbase for fallout, nowadays is seen in a more negative "New Vegas but worse" light.
Honestly, any modern persona game could be put here. Its the paradox wherein the most popular reviews on the page are all mostly negative but the game remains at 4.0+ average. Probably cause the bulk of BL users never post a review, even fewer which get any traction whatsoever
Believe it or not, contemporary reviews for this game were really positive, but seemingly people dislike it now.
Admittedly a lot of people disliked it on release and many still like it, but I feel like on BL and similar circles people have turned on it a lot
Not too sure if people liked this on release, but most seem to hate it these days
More backloggd specific than anything else but it feels like the early XBLA indie wave is getting a bit of pushback these days, games that were a breath of fresh air at the time seem to have dropped in popularity these days
Again only 1 per franchise but Colors seems to me to not be as universally loved as it seemingly was at release, with more criticism of its writing (apparently).
I guess this is more just straight up controversial, Im not too sure if the reaction to this game was more positive on release. I think so? But now it feels like the tide has turned on this game a lot
Theres definitely a backlash to this game not only but especially on Backloggd, Im curious what Ill think when I play it
Mostly for the humour
Apparently people hate this one now, I thought it was ok

I'll defend both Super Meat Boy and The Stanley Parable till the day I die. I completely understand arguments against them and its fine to not like them, but I really belive that even witht the passing of time both hold up incredibly well. Tho apparently a problem that many people have with Super Meat Boy is the absurd difficulty, which I belive its fine and its not that hard, so my liking for it may be a me thing and it doesn't hold up that much in general terms... but I just think is a neat platformer.
