Most unpolished or even broken game you have finished?

Probably Sonic 2006. I knew it was bad as a kid but I didn't have many 360 games at the time and I paid for it with my allowance (thankfully not full price). I didn't get every achievement but I finished all the stories and most side missions.
Terraia on Vita
Allegedly It's since been fixed and is a fairly solid port of the legacy version of the game now
Unfortunately when I played it with my bf it was so broken
We frustratingly lost countless amounts of progress due to the game randomly crashing, especially when saving

PS3 Skyrim. Fuck, that was a miserable experience.
Yeah, basically any Bethesda-era Fallout or Elder Scrolls game qualifies for this thread.

Yeah Fallout New Vegas on the Xbox 360 a little after launch basically felt like the game was constantly falling apart at the seams. I remember every save having to be in a new slot because I had probably like 5 quest triggers that bugged/ never happened while playing through it. Ended the game with something like 200 save files I think lol.
Haven on Switch. It crashed like 13 times before I saw the credits. I don't know if they ever fixed it. That port was completely broken. Still had fun though!
Hey, Fallout 3 is up there too.
I had to uninstall all the DLC except The Pitt, because somehow there was a conflict between them and caused one of the roofs in The Pitt to not have collision, so you would just fall through the map.
I also had to figure out how to complete Point Lookout without going near the center of the map, because if one of the locations loaded it would hard crash my Xbox.
Götzendiener for the Turbo CD! A game made by the anime company Gainax that was very clearly still an early build where they hadn't even incorporated the story or finished the gameplay. Really neat concept though, where you play a kidnapped princess whose would-be rescuers are killed in the attempt so she frees herself.

Recently, Sable. I loved the game, but it was almost unplayable at times due to the incredibly unstable framerate. It went from 60fps down to the low teens and even single digits at times on Series X.
Probably Fallout: New Vegas during release on a crappy laptop that could barely run it. One of my favourite games despite the rough introduction.
I think Gothic 3 near release is also worth mentioning even though I didn't beat it until much later after many many fan patches. What an awful mess that game was.

I got all 1000 achievements on that game which involved getting full ranks on every level. The amount of bugs of falling through platforms, dying for no reason, controls failing. Just an absolute nightmare.
Unpatched Bayo on PS3 is probably my answer too. It's an actual crime that they let it ship out like that
This is the one I wanted to hear, I haven't quite completed it myself, but this is game I feel is most straining to run on its hardware out of any I've ever played, it's crazy (but still fun!)
Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines
You can tell when they really had to rush on some level design, especially when the game advertises non-combat characters to you, but forces combat on you at certain points, but damn if it ain't still a great game.
Edit: Took out "phone it in" phrasing as it's not really accurate for the situation.

Ninja Gaiden 2 (360) on release
The game would slow down to a crawl because of the high amount of enemies, limbs, and explosions all over the place. It did get a performance patch soon after but it didn't help all that much
