This is kind of the videogame version of pretty-ugly bytches (chicks that look good from a distance but when you get in close they kinda
)
For gaming it would mean games that are competently made and are probably objectively "good" games but there's something about them that is aggressively mid and not even remotely living up to it's potential?
some examples I would use are games like Starfield (probably the textbook answer for a bad good game), Silent Hill F, Alan Wake 2 and Metroid Prime 4. All of those games should be much better than they are but still at least look good and function fine. they aren't broken or anything, just woefully underachieving.
what are some games you would describe in this manner?
