Easy answer is E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy.

It's a janky mess built on the source engine. The plot is downright incomprehensible. Gameplay mechanics aren't properly taught to the player, leaving you to work out how everything works (my legs are ok). The maps vary massively in terms of quality (the tutorial area for example has an optional side path that is just an incredibly long empty corridor that takes, like, twice as long to cross than the path you're railroaded towards to reach the same destination). It's basically an unlicensed WH40K game so it's got my dislike of Warhammer to work against to win me over.

Despite this, I have a huge soft spot for the game. It's one of the comfort games I boot up and play when I'm sick and sad.

God it's such a terrible game I love it and will play it again soon.

Many of my favorite games are like this lmao

I love that game! I accidentally killed myself so many times learning how to play it.

I still have a spare copy of that game if anyone wants it.

There was a short steam sale back in the day where a four-pack was about two dollars, so I bought enough for every steam friend I had in the hope that somebody would enjoy it enough to give co-op a go (alas :<)
