THE BEST OF THE FAKE TROLL GAMES - an IFDB Poll

Like, games that have a blurb that is seemingly a troll game (like SPY INTRIGUE, as an obvious example) but then very soon after you start playing it you realise it's actually a really good game (or better than you would have imagined).

I understand there are not many of these, but I really want to try and find some more like Spy Intrigue.

It's mostly along the idea of the blurb being low quality (but sufficiently long enough I can prove a point with it), but also some of the game having this "troll vibe" is okay.

Sorry for the restrictions!
