Games I Like That Everybody Else Dislikes

Balances a thin tightrope between being absolutely bonkers batshit and repetitive mind-numbing boredom - the type of in-your-face, unabashed meme=game that the most annoying people ever used to make their entire personality back in the day (I was one of those people). Though I think this one actually has the benefit of time having passed on its side; because at this time my generation was definitely guilty of taking one (usually bad/stupid) joke and running it into the ground for years until it becomes insufferable. At least now memes only last, like, <2 weeks and not 2+ years. So I actually like this a whole lot more now that it isn't a total dead horse being beaten over and over again - what used to read as trite band kid humor in a sea of similar one-joke-ponies now has a funny, inventive, and seriously unique charm to it. Still think only having two levels on release is paltry but given how much ragdoll-fueled mayhem you can cause within them with tons of neat characters I think it's excusable, especially after the DLCs. Three stars in 2014-2018, four stars from 2019-onwards. Good fun.

This game has a very special place in my heart. I was a just a kid when it came out - I thought it was the funniest thing ever, and my parents made me a Steam account so I could play it. I've put a ridiculous amount of hours into it over the years. I remember eagerly awaiting each DLC, and whenever one came out, I would dive into it as soon as I got home from school. This game is very nostalgic for me and always fun to revisit, even though the ragdoll physics don't send me into laughing fits like they did back then.
