Games that look terrible/generic shovelware but are actually amazing to play.

Death's Door doesn't have the best style, but is quite excellent.

Vanquish is a bit meh in art style and characters but might be the best action game ever crafted.

Dark Souls 2 is generic and lost a lot of atmosphere, however it is grossly underrated and it nothing short of superb.

VanQuish is awesome, such a blast to play and my God does it look like the most generic boring thing if you haven't played it. Such an understed game. 

I really wanna get around to deaths door, it actually does look good.
