1. Cyberpunk 2077
Okay, so Night City was a buggy mess at launch, straight up unplayable for some. But yo, the vibes? Immaculate. The story, the characters, the sheer scale of it all was just *chef's kiss*. Everyone was clowning on it, but once they patched it up, that open world sucked me in harder than a black hole. Still gets wild glitches sometimes, but I'm legit grinding for those legendary cyberware pieces. Worth the pain for the aesthetic alone.
2. Dark Souls
This game is just pure pain, man. Like, why do I keep coming back to get absolutely bodied by some random hollow? The combat system is unforgiving, the lore is cryptic, and every boss feels like a personal attack. But the moment you finally nail that perfect dodge or parry, or beat a boss you've been stuck on for hours? That rush is *addictive*. It's busted because it's so hard, yet that's exactly why it slaps.
3. Goat Simulator
Legit, this game is just a broken physics engine in a sandbox. You're a goat, you ragdoll everywhere, and you just cause chaos. There's no real objective, no deep story, just pure, unadulterated jank. It's busted because it's *designed* to be. But cracking up with friends while launching yourself across the map or glitching through walls? Priceless. It's the ultimate 'turn off your brain' game.
4. No Man's Sky
Remember the launch? Pure disaster. Promises unkept, a vast emptiness. Everyone was super salty. But credit where it's due, Hello Games pulled a full redemption arc. It's still got its jank, the UI can be a bit much, and sometimes you just float into oblivion. But exploring endless, procedurally generated galaxies? Building bases with your squad? It’s a chill, endless grind now. Total glow-up from its busted start.
5. Fallout 76
Oh boy, where do we even start with this one? This MMO was a hot mess of bugs, empty worlds, and questionable monetization at launch. It was basically a meme for how broken it was. But, like, they *actually* fixed it. Playing with your buddies, exploring the wasteland, fighting giant monsters? It’s surprisingly fun now. Still a bit janky, but the community and constant updates make it worth diving back into its busted charm.
6. Elden Ring
FromSoftware just loves making us suffer, huh? This game is massive, gorgeous, and absolutely brutal. You’re gonna get lost, you’re gonna get one-shotted by random trash mobs, and you’re gonna rage quit. But the exploration, the bosses, the sheer *scale* of the Lands Between? It’s an epic journey. It's busted in its difficulty and occasional janky hitboxes, but the satisfaction of overcoming it is unmatched. Total banger.
7. Cuphead
This game looks like a cute cartoon from the 30s, right? WRONG. It’s a brutal, unforgiving run-and-gun platformer that will test your patience and your controller's durability. The boss fights are insanely hard, requiring pixel-perfect timing and endless retries. It’s busted because it’s so damn difficult, but the art style and jazz soundtrack are pure fire. Beating a boss feels like achieving enlightenment.
8. Among Us
Simple game, right? But the amount of broken trust and friendships this game has caused is insane. The jankiness of finding lobbies, the occasional lag, and the sheer toxicity of some players can be a lot. But the social deduction, the mind games, accusing your best friend of being sus? It's pure chaos and pure fun. Super accessible, super replayable, and still a blast even with its busted moments.
