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.
Elder Scrolls blade was such a fun game! On the note of playing a smaller game Motherload is a surprisingly fun flash game where you dig for resources on an alien planet. The game is easy to learn but difficult to master. You get to experiment with different upgrades to find the best build for your playstyle. The levels are procedurally generated so it’s my go-to fall back game once a blue moon. Enjoy!
Xgen Studios! I remember playing Stick RPG 2 so much back in the day. Might have been one of the first games I ever bought over the internet.
I'm actually looking for something simple and quick to load right now so this is actually a great shout
