What game received negative reviews, but you really enjoyed?

I just finished COD Vanguard.

What a thoroughly enjoyable campaign.

Received quite negative reviews, but I really enjoyed it.

How about you?

Warcraft III: Reforged

Bugs, missing features from the original, features promised but never delivered. People were so upset with it there was Blizzard started offering refunds.

While it didn't live up to what was promised from Blizzard, I think it visually is an improvement over the original. I bought the original WC3 and then the FT expansion back when they launched and loved the game. Played it on my 2001 iBook.

WC3:Reforged is still missing stuff, and is still buggy at times, and is much more locked down, but I much prefer the graphical improvements compared to the old version.

Watch Dogs Legion. It got many negative reviews, but for me, it deeply buried in my mind that every time I walk in London, I can see the game scene.

The first Dead Island game I enjoyed quite a lot, having had played it multiple times , two times with all achievements. It got a lukewarm response and I totally recognize the flaws, but the first area was so memorable to me and the co-op experience was chaotic and fun, so I still have a soft spot for this game

funnily enough I never finished Riptide (i wasn't particular to the jungle starting area) despite buying it twice (PC original release and then remastered on PS4) and never even started DI2 despite waiting for latter's release since the day the original trailer dropped.
