Anyway I guess the bottom line is that plenty of the "irredeemable shit tier" games named in this thread are actually very firmly in the Good For What It Is camp and will likely be remembered fondly as under-the-radar classics in a few years.

Also if we're going to keep going on about souls and what not, Pathfinder: Kingmaker's "soul" is evident in how it's a game thrust by Paizo into the hands of some no-name Russian studio, who then proceeded to bluster into an insanely ambitious and faithful rendition of the system (as in, you can tell it was made by actual Pathfinder aficionados), has been renowned for excellent care and depth in terms of combat encounters, verisimilitude in chargen, non-linearity in approaching challenges and some of its other unique mechanics (the building of the kingdom), and is gathering enough renown to be considered cult in spite of being a broken, battered piece of shit with major stability problems on release. If that isn't reminiscent of pic related's library, I'm not sure what is.

Also play the game in the OP if you're this much into "souls", because a Baldur's Gate love letter done in this particular style of art, created as a passion project of a married couple of nerds should be right up your valley.
