10 DESPISED Video Games You Should Play Now

10. God Hand

God Hand simply came out at the wrong time. A time when zany Japanese games with deep mechanics and clunky controls were the source of ridicule, rather than that of every video essayist's ego. Clover Studios' beat-em-up was destined out of the gate to be a cult classic, bombing HARD here in the west. It was just too damn bizarre for mainstream audiences to get behind.

Fortunately, it's been quite some time since then, and in that time, God Hand has indeed found its people. This is thanks to its combat, which is the polygonal equivalent of a shot of adrenaline in the arm. Everything else, from the madcap enemies to the whacked-out story, to the aged-like-milk-in-the-desert movement controls, is just set dressing to the real reason you play God Hand: to lay absolute WASTE to every man, woman, and brightly colored little person in the room.

If you just want to punch a dude through the wall, and the three walls past that, all while racking up pointless but satisfying high scores, then give God Hand another go.
