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.

Another great game. Didn't expect it to be that entertaining but there I was spending considerable amounts of time deciding which faction to pick because they are all fun.

Will buy Elex II at some point.

I liked how the choice of what faction to join was a legitimately tough choice. Too many games are like “Do you want to join the Puppy Huggers or the Puppy Punchers?”. In Elex they’re all much more grey than black and white.
