Numen: Contest of Heroes is a game that sits at about 50% recommended on steam. I beat it years ago and really enjoyed myself, but I knew it was a unique fit for me. I only say “bad” so that we have common ground, but I value that experience.

What are “bad” games you enjoy?

Something key to remember is that when a game gets “Mixed” on Steam, eg 50/50, that still means half the people who play it enjoyed it. Half is not nothing.

For instance, Aliens: Colonial Marines. To my knowledge, AI was kinda shit, but could be fixed in a text file, but apparently a lot of people still enjoyed it otherwise.

So there’s probably a lot of these that have niche appeal to people.

    No, it means half the people who can be bothered to review it enjoyed it.

    For every review theres probably several hundred/thousands of people who play the game and dont review.

    Good point. Personally, I basically never review games on Steam (love OR hate).
