What are your positive gaming hot takes?

So... whats a "Hot take". Sounds like "Unpopuar positive opinions"?? Sorry, english is not my first language.
I assume thats it, so I can think of a few of my own.

I absolute loved Clayfighter 63 1/3. Sales-wise it basically killed the franchise, which is a shame, cause the game was great. I thought it was funny, enganging and the wacky characters felt fresh compared to what every single fighting game was doing. Plus it had Earthworm Jim, like what was there not to love.

I liked Dead Space 3 a lot. I dont really think it having a bigger focus on action was a bad idea. Story aside, the game was really entertaining, and it still had really creepy scary atmosphere and moments, specially in the begning. After DS 1 and 2, focusing a bit more in action was the logical direction to take, the real issue with that game was the story. Revealing the Brethren Moons and their entire context basically killed all the mystery surrounding the Xenomorphs and markers and it wasnt really a smart or good twist. But the game was good. Sure, not as good as 1 and 2, but still a worthy follow up. All in all a great trilogy.

FF13 and FF15 are way better than people care to admit - At times, myself included tbh. I dont really think they are good Final Fantasy games maybe, thats debatable, but they are good RPGs, and had they not been linked to the franchise im sure their general reception would've been MUCH more positive. The amount of hate these games receive is crazy considering that the real worst FF is FF2.

Ill maybe add a couple later.
