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.
Vampyr. On release a lot of people and reviews said it was clunky and not very good, it has a 72 on Opencritic and 55% of critics did not recommend it. It also got a lot of negative reviews from the community.
Well I think those people were high, it was one of my favorite games of that year! It’s not a perfect game by any means but it was a ton of fun. Great atmosphere, great gameplay, good story… I never really got the hate.
A fellow Vampyr enjoyer in the wild! I played the game without killing anyone (which is considered the “boring” way of playing) and still had a great time.
Same here. I didn’t harm anyone and went for the true ending, which was actually difficult because I was playing on hard mode, and not killing anyone means you’re always underpowered.
