I kind of like bad games, because they can be interesting or have intriguing gameplay designs. I'd go so far as to say I actually enjoy Shadow the Hedgehog 2005, its not good per say, but it has some charm to it, and I enjoy it most the time.

Boring games are far more offensive in my opinion. Like... I've tried. I've tried over and over to play and enjoy Fallout 4, a game my husband loves but... its so boring. The story is dull, the gameplay is basic, settlement building is so mindnumbing, the characters are bland, except Nick Valentine, mostly cuz of his design, and the atmosphere is so bog standard with this inconsistent cheeriness to it. It is so mindnumbingly boring and dull, I don't know how people play it, with or without mods. Skyrim's setting was cool, the gameplay was basic, sure, but the exploration was fun and I still got to do cool and silly things and it felt fine.

Another game is Majin Tensei for the SNES. Im a huge Megami Tensei fan. I like playing all the spinoffs, and i especially like the older first person dungeon crawlers. But Majin Tensei is like if Fire Emblem was drunk and slurred its speech so it had to talk ultra slowly for you to understand. It takes soooooo long to do anything.
