Star Wars Rebellion (or Star Wars Supremacy in Europe) had a GameRankings score of 50 but I had a blast with it. I must have had 200 hours in it over the years. As a 4X game, it's definitely below average, and there's zero challenge once you figure a few things out.
Where it succeded was by being a bit of a sandbox with a fun license. The soundtrack is phenomenal, there are recognizable names everywhere, and the moment when you get to go toe-to-toe with the Empire after scrapping together a fleet big enough is great. Problem is, it had a rough interface, obtuse mechanics, glacial pacing, and that epic fleet battle looked so bad it probably would have been better off being icons on a star field.
I also think Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII (72) and Rune Factory 4 (79) were underrated, especially the latter. I think to this day, RF4 is the best game in its genre (and that includes Stardew Valley).
