Alpha Protocol. Great story that has a stupid number of paths, and gameplay that is pretty well broken unless you're running pistols/stealth, in which case you're invincible.
I think I've played through it seven or eight times now.

Can a game that is a best in class divergent narrative spy RPG ever truly be a 7 out of 10 though?
Alpha Protocol is fantastic and I’m so glad it’s available again for people to play.
You can edit the .ini file to make the non-pistol weapons more accurate and viable.

Overlord. A jankier pikmin with a Fable coat of paint. I'd even go so far as to say it's more a 6/10.
Patchwork Heroes for PSP is …probably more of an 8/10 if i’m honest but it’s forgotten as hell
you play as a Ghibli-esque child (?) hero carving up enormous rusty flying machines covered in mechanical bugs and stuff, literally sawing them in half by drawing lines and planting bombs, trying to remain on the larger half when you cut so you don’t fall to the ground prematurely
On that I loved and I don't think anyone else ever played was Space Station Silicon Valley for the N64. It was a fun puzzle action game where you solve puzzles by killing and taking over the bodies of robot animals. It had a weird sense of humor and the levels were genuinely fun to explore
It was made by DMA who made Lemmings and later became Rockstar North
This was the first game I thought of when I opened this thread. The concept oozes potential; it's a shame it had to cram itself onto PS1/N64 hardware.
I've wanted a remake / spiritual successor to this for 15-20 years now.
so I was trying to think of games from my childhood that mattered a lot to me but I never really hear anyone talk about anymore, but they were all about 8-9 when I looked up their scores (fire emblem sacred stones, golden sun the lost age, mario strikers, railroad tycoon 2.)
but then I remembered. Duck Dodgers Starring Daffy Duck for the N64
Nier (X360/Ps3)
Darksiders 1 (X360/Ps3)
The entire Mega Man Battle Network series (GBA)
Earthworm Jim 1 and 2 (GEN/SNES)
Scurge: Hive (DS)
.hack Quadrilogy [the first one, not GU] (Ps2)
Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles (GCN)
Syndicate (X360/Ps3)
Its borderline i think but I used to love Split/Second. Pretty average racing game except for its gimmick of triggering route changes by basically blowing up sections of the stage to make new routes. First time it happened I lost my damn mind playing against a friend.
I think another such game that means a lot to me is a fairly modern one; CONTROL.
The gameplay is rudimentary, but the setting has a lot of love put into it, and has probably the only quippy protagonist that doesn’t get on my nerves.
Plus it has this guy:
Extra plus, at times you’ll land yourself in a beautifully composed space:

There were 2 really cool action arcade racers that came out at the same time and I think they took attention from each other making them both kind of obscure.
It was Split/Second and Blur.
I THINK I liked Blur better but it’s been so long I can’t remember.

Describing Control as a 7 out of 10 video game is very funny to me.
@Cello, that was your read on that game, right? Just a standard C-level game?

A majority of games described in here are 8/10s on Metacritic.
Now something like Super Monday Night Combat...I played the shit out of that despite the fact that it was a multiplayer shooter with no matchmaking or ranked mode. So you would just get paired with wildly imbalanced teams. Also the servers would just crash a little too frequently to ignore the fact that you might lose 30 minutes to a disconnect.
...and yet the actual GAME part of the game was by far the best MOBA I've ever played mostly because it played like a fun game and not like a MOBA.
I’ll use it as a really quick glance to see how a game scored overall but that’s about it.

Remedy may be the epitome of 'that dev who makes games with notable flaws and jank but also contain really cool ideas that stick with you and occasionally The Hypest Shit Ever happens'.
I completely read the prompt as being about games that you personally would only rank as a 7 but still love because of this or that reason. I suppose that's just me being contrary but this seems like a very personal question rather than being based on any kind of consensus

Definitely reading it as a personal 7/10 as well, however, my sense of what that MEANS comes from reading game reviews. Without that background radiation, perhaps I'd use a scale like "worth buying" vs "try a demo" vs "very bad."

Let me tell ya about a game that may not even reach the dizzying heights of a 7/10, Mad Dash Racing.
Mad Dash Racing is a video game released in 2001 for the original Xbox. It was developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Eidos Interactive. It's a racing game with the twist that the characters all race on foot.
Garfield Kart Furious Racing has a 7 user rating/no critic score on Metacritic, so that's gonna be my most recent one. Older ones I'd go with uhhhhh
Pursuit Force on the PSP
Prototype
Red Faction Armageddon
Mad Max
Alice: Madness Returns
off the top of my head. Honorable mention: every Dynasty Warriors game. A lot of them were under 70s but it'd feel unfair to me to single out anything in the series, I love it all and played ungodly amounts of it. A new one was the highlight of yesterday's Sony announcements thing for me

The Bushido Blade games, in addition to Tekken 2, were early PSX games that toyed around with the idea of offering a first person mode for their fighting games.
A wildly unnavigable perspective, especially in Tekken 2.

Alpha Protocol is and 11 out of 10 talking simulator trapped in a 4 out of 10 stealth action game.
Absolutely incredible and infuriating in equal measurem

Quantum Break hooked me more than Control did, and I probably would have beaten it in a sitting if the television show part of it didn’t suddenly get corrupted on Microsoft’s end and refuse to allow me to progress.
I will not hear any Quantum Break slander in this thread I’ve been mostly ignoring and barely taking part in.

Snowboard kids is an amazing, but different Mario kart clone. As an aside, one of the most expensive n64 games is snowboard kids 2, which was only released in Australia, which I rented, played loved, and never bought.
My other entry is Wolverine origins. Terrible movie, fuckin fun game. You get shot so much you see metal and you grow it back again. I’ve been told it’s a GoW clone (at the time it came out in like 2008?) and I never liked the original GoW series. It’s fun though and that’s what I care about.

My position is that its fun to include a character who fundamentally violates the entire energy of your fighting game.
"All of these characters are limited to melee weapons...
Except for this lady with an assault rifle. If she hits you with a single bullet, you're DEAD"
I think I've played through it seven or eight times now.

It was a pretty basic 3d platformer but my Looney Tunes loving ass played the shit out of it.

When you're specifically using review scores as the metric of discussion? Everyone.
Also, Control is much higher than a 7/10, come on now.

This is a top ten game of all time. I can't process the idea of it being thought of as middling
I made a game, it has penguins in it. It's pay what you like on Gumroad.
Currently Ebaying Nothing at all but I might do in the future.

though I've not actually revisited it so might be just nostalgia-ing myself

It’s a good game though! I love this song!
I think it could easily be called a 10 out of 10 multimedia experience, but the gunplay and throw objects part of the game isn’t amazing.
