Shadow the hedgehog, Crash Bandicoot Wrath of Cortex and both Spyro ps2 games.
This isn’t the case anymore but Pac-Man World 3 used to be hated.

Different style from the first game, but not a bad game by any means.

People claim this is the worst Dragon Quest game, but I enjoyed it and don't understand all the hate it gets.

I will agree that the one hit kill can be annoying at times, but this is far from the worst platformer on the system, and can be quite enjoyable.
 
I think a lot of sequels that just don't live up to their predecessors get extrapolated as literally unplayable dogshit that killed my baby. Maybe it just ran better on an emulator but I recently replayed Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly after replaying the PS1 trilogy for the first time since I was a kid and I don't think it was as good as the previous games but it wasn't totally broken or awful. I'll even die on the questionable hill that while Duke Nukem Forever absolutely forever fails to live up to Duke Nukem 3D it doesn't belong anywhere near a worst games of all time list and is a perfectly cromulent FPS game.
 
Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link. It's the champion of misunderstood games.
Agreed, I actually like the fact that they didn't just toss out a Zelda 1 clone, change a few things, and say "here you go." They tried something different. Yes, it's a fucking hard game, but like I said about Deadly Towers, it's hard, not awful.

I actually think I like Zelda II more than the first, personally.
Much like I prefer ALTTP over OoT. Ya ya, boo me because OoT is the best thing since sliced bread, but that's just my opinion.

It doesn't have to be anyone else's. But no, Zelda II is not a horrible game. It's just Dark Souls hard for its time.
 
Undertale and Deltarune are both very hated nowdays due to the insufferable fandom Undertale had back in 2016, but community aside, I think both games are worth playing today, Undertale is a great RPG with a Killer soundtrack and Deltarune even tough isn't quite finished yet, it really shows how much Toby Fox improved as a writter, containing well fleshed out characters and a more morally ambiguous plot.
 
I heard people hate this game for "normal encounter rates" that is too high for new generation kids: https://retrogametalk.com/repository/nds-roms/black-sigil-blade-exiled-usa/

In reality its gamemap is small between story points so without such encounter rate you honestly wouldn't battle much, then it would turn into a visual novel (which would be fine by me because it's one of those rare games I liked its characters, universe, lore, story and situations) lol. They clearly didn't play usual JRPGs with fuck encounters, battles, enemies and shit gamemap lol. TBH this game seriously deserved a spot on my "favorite video games of all times". Yet again I stand corrected on how I should have never underestimated NDS's library!!! lol
 
Zelda II and Castlevania II: Simon's Quest. Honestly replaying Simon´s quest in the Anniversary collection the game was rather fun heck I even ejoyed castlevania legends.
 
Final Fantasy VIII

When it came out, folks were expecting a direct sequel to Final Fantasy VII or at least something that played just like it. 8's biggest sin was just not being VII, although the junction system did turn a lot of people off.

You either love to junction, or hate to junction.

I disagree with Castlevania 2. It's somehow even MORE cryptic than Zelda 2. Like, a first time player isn't going to know how to do that tornado thing where you equip the Red Crystal and then crouch for a few seconds. It's also not clear where the hell you need to go most of the time.

At least in Zelda 2 (save for Death Mountain), the game is relatively straightforward and the NPC hints carry some relevance and aren't completely pointless.
 
I agree. The Lost Levels is not that hard and wasn't bad. Players just don't want a good challenge for some dumb reason. It's more of a DLC pack anyway and it has a fair challenge. Plus, Luigi is playable instead of being player two.

I still don't get why Sonic Superstars is bad (Insert "Because it's developed by Arzest" comment here.), This is a new classic Sonic game since Mania and while it did not reach Mania's levels of spectacular, it plays like a traditional 2D Sonic Platformer that I truly love.

I played a little bit of Mega & Bass, and it's not terrible. The only thing that bothered me was the game used sound effects from Mega Man 7 with assets from Mega Man 8.
Never played Crash: Wrath of Cortex.

Here's my list.
