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.
Agents of Mayhem! Had an event on DeviantArt of all places, which is how I heard about it. It’s GI Joe: the game. Meets GTA. I think no one likes it because it was from the devs of Saints Row. And ostensibly it was in the same universe. But otherwise it was not really the same thing. Still I loved getting good with all the heroes and making my perfect team, even if the dungeons were repetitive.
