Was thinking about Lost Planet 2 the other day by Capcom and how much I enjoyed it. I didn't get the chance to play it co-op or multiplayer but Lost Planet 1's multiplayer was fun, especially the mode where you can be an alien and fight snow pirates. I think the west just wanted another Gears Of War clone, and even though 2 took a lot of inspiration from Gears (it even featured it's hero as an unlockable character) wasn't enough and critics and players panned the game. It's hard today to find anyone even playing it anymore and it seems to be dead. Shame.

Elder scrolls oblivion and skyrim. Not critically panned but I feel like the TES community doesn't like these games. Thankfully I don't give a shit about the TES community. Modded oblivion and skyrim are fantastic comfort games I can always return to.

Need for speed most wanted 2012. Probably gets a lot of hate for not being like the OG most wanted, but it's a fun game nonetheless, and one where I can turn off my brain. Always trying to see how many police vehicles I can take down before I make my escape from the infamous SWAT truck.

Pokemon omega ruby/alpha sapphire sun/moon, let's go pikachu/eevee and scarlet violet. 3D/modern pokemon gets a really bad rep for some reason but I loved and enjoyed all the above-mentioned entries, especially sun and scarlet.
