Castlevania Lords of Shadow
I dunno if its still considered a "back sheep" but back then it didnt have a good reception in the community due to the unoriginal gameplay it had and a lot people were on the fence with it. Yet, the game is so enjoyable, story is great and the gameplay that everyone criticized at first fit so very well. It easily became one of the very best Castlevanias for me.
Sadly the sequel sucked balls.
