Hey folks! Here’s an interesting thing that happened with me: I love action RPGs, I love western RPGs, I was addicted to Skyrim. So when The Witcher 3 launched, one of the most well received open world action RPGs I loved it, right? Well… No. In fact, for some reason I can’t really understand I could never play more than 2 hours before dropping it.

I restarted that game about 5 times before, never liked it, wished I could refund it.

Until about two weeks ago I randomly decided to try it again and… oh boy, let’s just say I’m a child considering if I should sleep for work tomorrow or continue playing all through the night.

Does anybody else have a game that they couldn’t like but it suddenly clicked and now they enjoy it?

    Two games for me:

    Trials Fusion: I expected/wanted a fairly easy going full-speed flow type of ordeal but only the first few tracks are like that. Only when I booted it up years later to have another look did it click as a ‘skill-based momentum puzzle game’. Finished the game, loved it, got Trials Rising, Evolution and 2 SE.

    Death Stranding: got to somewhere early mid game, got bored running standard deliveries. One of my first open world games like this, I didn’t know when to move on with the story. When after a while I returned to the game and got back on track with the story it became one of my favourite games of all time.
