bubsy 3d got decent reviews at launch, then a bunch of youtubers played it and started calling it the worst game ever because they were viewing it from a modern perspective. i also remember at least 1 review where someone complained about it not using the analog sticks... which weren't out at launch

i find a lot of those early "trying to figure out 3d programming and design" games really interesting.

people are kinda spoiled by how 3d stuff has been "figured out" and retrospectively apply a lot of scorn onto games that are actually pretty alright
