Right... if your vehicle didn't work than you would go back to building editor and try something new. Sometimes you could come up with a solution to finish a mission in seconds. Again, its gonna be boring unless you're open to building. Its also the kind of game you can enjoy while listen to a podcast, listening to the news, etc. It was a fun game that didn't require your undivided attention. Sometimes that's what I want.

I think some games could fall into a category of objectively bad and poorly designed. That games we're talking about were good even if you didn't enjoy them.

I am open to creativity and customization, N&B just didn't do it in a way that was fun or engaging to me, more annoying and dull. It's good that you enjoyed it, but I could not.

And even design is open to interpretation, people often disagree as to whether a game has good level design for instance.

That could be said about all the Rare 3D platformers though, they're all kinda dull by modern standards. Most of the N64 games aged horribly.

N&B tried something unique and I enjoyed it. People act like it was a critical disaster as well, but it did well critically and with great praise from notable websites. Not a single "negative" review on Metacritic.
