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.

The first Knack on PS4. It has okay to low review, tons of meme but I bought and played it. To my surprise it's actually pretty deep in terms of fighting mob mechanism at higher difficulties. Example, some of the AI can work together and bait your action, then another will follow up to hit you. Those behavior won't show up in easier difficulty cause you just delete them so quickly with your power/punches/slams. With higher difficulty the order of how you approach multiple enemies in an area becomes it's own action-puzzle game. It can still have some extra polish but still exceeded my expectation.(no I haven't played knack 2 yet.)

lol, I should've copied over my knack review etc from reddit.

My buddy worked at Sony and I got one of the first PS4s, he gave me Knack and Killzone for it. I played Knack way more than Killzone. What a great game. I wanted to play Knack 2 but I also haven’t.
