Let's hear about some games you maybe were told were not worth your time, or had bad reviews but you managed to love regardless.

I'll go first. I'm not embarrased to admit that I played the shit out of Elder Scrolls Blades (the easily forgettable Skyrim-esque mobile game). I had to wait for it to release on Switch which had the benifit of the shitty timers being gone by then.

Once I started to think of it as a kind of advanced 'Swords and Sandles' type game I was hooked.

Prey (2006) had a mixed reputation as far as I remember, I picked up a copy in 2013. That game is wild. The shooting is fine but there are so many sections where they get creative with portals, or gravity, or changing your size, or all of the above at the same time. I mean even the fact that one of my complaints "I think the part where you fly a spaceship went on a bit long" sounds completely absurd.
