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.
EDF 4 was one of my big ones. Bought it after seeing the strangely high steam reviews. Turns out it pretty much captures the feeling of that fun game that you played on your friend’s PS2 after school on Friday. Something about chucking increasingly large explosives at piles of giant ants really just does it for me.
EDF! EDF! EDF!
