10 Video Games Critics Loved (That IMMEDIATELY Divided Fans)

10. The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword received glowing reviews across the board, and was the 16th game ever to receive a perfect score from Famitsu. Critics raved over the Wii MotionPlus peripheral, which enabled Link to perform precise movements with his sword and shield, allowing for more immersive battles and puzzles.

However, Nintendo fans couldn't see eye-to-eye with critics, especially when it came to Skyward Sword's unique controller. Many gamers found the Wii MotionPlus imprecise, impairing their ability to perform the simplest tasks. And when the controller was required for complex puzzles, players were in serious trouble.

Even if the peripheral wasn't an issue, Skyward Sword has many other issues, including filler side-quests, an infuriating final dungeon, the worst boss in the franchise's history, and a sidekick that's so vexatious, she makes Navi seem tolerable.

When Skyward Sword was remastered for the Switch, it was the perfect time to reassess it. Since the gaming community preemptively hated on Wind Waker, it was possible that some players had jumped the gun once again.

Although some issues were fixed in the remaster (Fi shuts up now), many glaring problems were still apparent, reaffirming the fact Skyward Sword was a misfire.
