For what it's worth I have fond memories of Daikatana.
Sure it was buggy as hell (at lest the build I had and how it behaved on my specific machine) and had a ton of flaws, and I could not complete the game due to a particular bug, but I could not help but feel something happening deep down inside this game. Frustratingly I can't exactly put my finger on it, but if I tried it'd be like I was reading between the lines^Wissues and in a way experienced that instead of the thing you directly interacted with.
And that wasn't because of the hype as it was handed over to me among a pile of other discs before I even heard of it (which is what happens when you live in some random remote area).
