What Makes A Good Bad Game?

Gaming outlets and fans are debating the appeal of so-called bad games: titles that are flawed, janky or poorly reviewed yet remain enjoyable or memorable. The discussion asks whether broken mechanics, campy design or sheer ambition can make a failure more lovable than a polished hit, with players sharing their own favorite 'good bad games' and what separates them from titles that are simply awful.

Why now: Gamers enjoy debating the paradox of games that are bad by critical standards but beloved anyway.
