Minecraft, maybe. I understand a lot of people like it, but I find it so unbearably tedious and unrewarding in a world of warcraft fashion.

"Why do I mine?"
"To build stuff!"
"Why do I build stuff?"
"So then you can go mine more!"

Kane and Lynch 1

As a fan of movies like Heat; It was a game that shined as a rental or 5-10$ game. The action scenes were pretty much Heat in game form and the games story was like most in the genre.

Highly recommended if you can find it for $5 and are a fan of mafia/bank robber movies.

Two Worlds II... What kind of apathetic group of people they have working at South Peak Studios I do not know but they were really reaching for the middle with this one.

Sword of Mana. I'm a big fan of the Mana series, Legend of Mana is still my favorite video game. It was a beautiful re-imagining of the first Mana game (or at least a really early one)

But...nothing about it was all that memorable for me. I liked it enough to play through it all the way. I enjoyed it, but it didn't do much to stand out for me. I felt like I was just...playing it.

Borderlands. That had potnetial, but it was alarmingly repetetive. I don't understand why some games put multiplayer before single-player

The most mediocre game is just impossible to point out.

Mediocre sits somewhere below average or about average, but never above average. The most mediocre game then would be average in quality.

This will tell you nothing useful, because an average game may fall anywhere from well justified niche appeal to hugely succesful mainstream.

Due to the fact that some of us prefer multiplayer over single player? Maybe the good folks who made the game did too?

OP has his terminology wrong.

"Many, Many flaws but still worth playing" does not translate into mediocre, it's more of a fun but flawed or diamond in the rough type deal.

For me that would be Alpha Protocol. Frustrating as hell and definitely broken in spots, but still awesome.

"Mediocre," as in a gameplay experience that was utterly forgettable but decent enough to let me finish the game would probably be Deus Ex 2.

The problem with mediocre games is that I tend to not bother remembering anything about them. I guess these would do:

King Arthur (the Total War meets Celtic fantasy game), it's quite good for people who actually like Celtic lore, but I could not have cared less.
Pursuit Force Extreme Justice
Record of Agarest War
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 and 2

And the only reason I remembered these is because I either still have them, or just sold them 3 days ago.
