My answer is the same as always--BloodRayne 1&2.  The vibe in those games was awesome and they were fun and inventive.  

Dragon Age 2 was a really fun game.  It deserved criticism but the actual game-play was a huge jump over DA:O and I loved the more mature narrative style.

The only game I can think of that I liked that isn't really praised by everyone is Skyward Sword.

Persona 4 Golden is also sorta there, but that's more of the opinions of diehard Persona/SMT fans and no so much the general audience's opinion.

Wait, what?  There are people who don't like P4G?  That's ... I don't even know what to say.

Absolutely.

Standalone, it is a great game.

However, when I compare it to other Persona games I've played (having played all bar the original, but that is coming up...), I dislike it. Too cheerful. Too easy-going. Too bright. Too inconcequential. It was an extreme disappointment to me after the glory of P3.

Super Mario Sunshine is hated?

Anyway, most of my tastes are either well-liked or at least neutrally regarded. The only two games I can think of that I really enjoyed that I hear negative talk about are:

ZombiU
Phoenix Wright vs Prof Layton

 

GameCube hipsters. Essentially, mediocre games, by virtue of being on GameCube, are amazing classics! GameCube is the Joy Division of videogaming. Joy Division is considered one of the greatest bands in history by music hipsters, despite having 1-2 good songs, a lot of forgettable garbage that is only noteworthy because of the band that played it.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

I liked the killzone series, which in generally is seen as mediocre.

Super Paper Mario, though I'm not too sure if that one counts.

Final Fantasy XV - gets better and better every month, I'm still playing it now almost a year later.

White Knight Chronicles - I love this game, I actually can't understand where the hate came from.

I loved the KZ series, only KZ 1 was seen as bad according to Metacritic.

Everybody? Can't really think of any.

Maybe Digimon World 2,3,4, card battle, rumble arena, particularly Digimon World 2 and 4.
Maybe as think-man says White Knight Chronicles 1 and 2.

Loathed - Lack of universal praise from all corners of the internet



SuperNova on 16 August 2017

It's not quite as strong as 'everybody else loathes' them, but within the Zelda cannon Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks are definitively treated like unwanted stepchildren.
Mostly because of 'gimmicky touch screen controlls' being 'forced onto the player' as well as the 'childish WW art style'.
And I just love them. Love everything about them. I didn't play then right when they came out though (partly because edgy 16-year old me much preferred the Art style of the Oracle games to the 'childish WW art style' ;P), but came at them a few years later, with an open mind and was blown away by how much fun they are.

-DMC ( Loathed by japanese game fanatics just because a western dev made the game). They certainly made sure that game didnt get a sequel.

-The Order 1886 (not necessarily loathed, but met mixed reactions)

-Assassins Creed Unity ( Really liked it despite its flaws. People complain too much)

-Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Mega Battle- Has promise despite its flaws but its not as bad as people made it out to be.

-Gears of War: Judgement- Not great, but not as bad as reviewers made it seem.
