Killzone. I really, really loved the story and level design, but everything was shit. Someone pointed it out to me and I suddenly seen everything wrong with the game hahha.
There was this one glitch where the first shot from the Helghast rifle was 100% accurate which I used and abused to absolutely destroy people in multiplayer games.
The GBA game for Avatar: the Last Airbender. Tried to revisit it as an adult, couldn't find any reviews for it online. Apparently it was so obviously shovelware thay nobody gave it the time of day.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II. Bought of for 9€ and had a lot of fun with it. Sure, the story was not as good as the first one and it's a lot shorter, but the new gameplay was great and it has a much better final boss than the first game.
Industria, I really really love it but it turns out it's not particularly well reviewed. I've always wanted a game that felt like Simon Stålenhag's paintings and that game is actually specifically inspired by his work.

That reminded me that Sonic Unleashed was the only game I ever got refunded.
I bought the game to play with my kids, expecting a colorful and fun Sonic game. I quickly realized it was quite different, much more violent than I expected. So I traded it for Sonic Colors, which was a bit more kid friendly.
On the topic of Sonic Unleashed, I played it as a kid on the Wii and actively disliked it because it just seemed sad and freaky to see Sonic effectively become mutated.
To give some idea, back then I had no internet so whatever games we had, I always gave a good go and I'd always play even the most mediocre of games.
We also had Sonic Colors and that game just felt the total opposite: very positive, lots of eye candy, arcadey, very much enjoyed it as a kid.
Some 20 years later and I'm speaking to a Sonic fan and they bring up how they've played every single game including Unleashed, and it was the only one they hated, which made me realise I'm not the only one.
To answer your question, I'd say Shrek for the Xbox - I did enjoy Shrek 2 more than the original game as a kid, but I also didn't mind the original either.
Once I had internet, I saw plenty of references to the original game as the butt of jokes and an example of what games should not be, and honestly those criticisms were valid.
