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.

Blasphemous. I was told by some that it was a very shallow game with boring lore, and that it only succeeded cause it was marketed at a basically Platformer Dark Souls.

Not true. There is a lot of lore I find really interesting, the map is much larger than I originally thought, there are tons of secrets and hidden passages, and it's pulled all the best parts from Metroid, Castlevania and Dark Souls and combined them into a very well polished game.

Currently going for a 100% completion run before 2 comes out.
