This one's a little more niche but I played Homefront: The Revolution for the first time last summer. I remember thinking the trailer looked awesome back in ~2012 but was a broke teen and couldn't afford a new game. Then I saw the reviews and how bad it supposedly was. Maybe it's just that I had forgotten the marketing of the game and it wasn't a "new" release that I paid $60 for (I think it was like $4 on Steam sale), but I had a blast. It was definitely worth a couple weekends of fun.

Starfield, which I don't get the sheer magnitude of rancor it gets... It's not perfect, but it's still a good game, and none of its issues are "unfixable", no matter how much its haters want to believe they are
Genuinely had a lot of fun with it and looking forward to content updates, as well as yes bug fixes and gameplay improvements (I did say it's not perfect, but none of Bethesda's games were really better at launch and most of them got slammed initially too)
Silent Hill Origin and Downpour.
I looked at the metacritic page and it was tbd, like no outlets even rated it... And it's a console and pc game with a physical release!
Anyway it's Bullet Girls Phantasia, an even lower budget EDF like game, but in a Isekai setting and the girls have their clothes ripped when they suffer enough damage, beat it multiple times.
King's Bounty 2. It's not an amazingly well made game, and it lost a lot of the fun goofiness of the other games, but I do love the combat and think the story was underrated.
