Video games are cool. But not all video games are created equal. Sometimes, a shiny, new video game comes out and, for whatever reason, the critics don't like it so much. (Myself included.) Indeed, I am among a group of online typing villains who has scored a game less than an 8/10, something that is unheard of in some spaces.

However, I am among an even smaller group that thinks it's totally fine to pick up a game scored less than perfectly and, well, have a ton of fun with it. Because as cool as video games are, nuance is cooler. So, here are ten games I dug up from the yellow-coded Metacritic archives that I think are actually quite good.
