Let’s hear about some games you maybe were told were not worth your time, or had bad reviews but you managed to love regardless.
I’ll go first. I’m not embarrased to admit that I played the shit out of Elder Scrolls Blades (the easily forgettable Skyrim-esque mobile game). I had to wait for it to release on Switch which had the benifit of the shitty timers being gone by then.
Once I started to think of it as a kind of advanced ‘Swords and Sandles’ type game I was hooked.
Fallout 76. I preordered the game and absolutely enjoyed every bit of it. I have since stopped playing but for the first two years of that game being out I was on the hook! People complained that it wasn’t a traditional fallout game. And that’s is honestly what I loved about it. That and the amazing community that there was at the time. Really wish I could back into it.
