A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?

I'm talking about games that you still like but you had no idea were criticized so much.
The perfect example for me is Sonic Unleashed.
I admit that the game has its bad things, but I would have never imagined that it was so hated at the time... Although, that could be extended to the entire Sonic franchise, since for many years I was not aware at all of that "Sonic was never good", "Sonic had a rough transition to 3D" nonsense.
Mass Effect Andromeda. I plaid it well after launch after the initial "problems" were fixed, and I think it's a good game. I just wish we'd get a sequel.

I remember some people in Reddit not being too happy with It Takes Two.
We loved it and look forward to playing Split Fiction when we find the time.
Loved playing It Takes Two with my wife, such a great game I wished they made another one. The more couch coop games the better.

I am one of the 10 people on earth who really enjoyed playing Starfield. The space combat seemed like a love letter to the old Wing Commander series, the art design was beautiful, there was a lot of fun content. I think i made it to NG7 before they took it off the free to play. When it's on sale i can't wait to grab it.
by comparison i hated The Outer Worlds which was the first 'it's like fallout in space!' that was promised so i was tickled when Starfield actually was like fallout in space.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Oooo now you have me interested in Starfield by comparing it to Wing Commander, damn you.
I loved Outer Worlds. Rough around the edges, sure, but it wasn't much different than playing Fallout 3 in terms of gameplay. Also the setting made for some great satire. My only real complaint was the small maps. High hopes for the sequel.

There's a lower budget game by Spiders called Technomancer that came out in 2016. It came up in my XBox game pass, so I played it before I read any reviews on it, and I honestly enjoyed the hell out of it.
I didn't find the combat stilted. It felt quite fun to work between three different fighting styles. The storyline was interesting and (to me anyway) original. And the Universe was pretty fun to play around in.
Holy shit someone else who played Technomancer and enjoyed it!

Dark Souls 2 was the first and only Soulslike game I played... Was a great experience and a good time killer during my summer break (when I still had one). Only later did I learn how poorly ppl thought of the game

Industria, I really really love it but it turns out it's not particularly well reviewed. I've always wanted a game that felt like Simon Stålenhag's paintings and that game is actually specifically inspired by his work.

I've played half life but I don't really like it, same with fallout and bioshock which are the other obvious comparisons

they only hate on it because it wasn't the exact same. DS2 is a great game but really should have been a stand alone title

Unironically ET on the Atari 2600
Had a lot of fun as a kid, sure it wasn't Pitfall or F1 Racing but it was one of the few adventures on the 2600 and it wasn't terrible

I also quite enjoyed that one! Definitely a bit janky, but I had my fun for the price.

bioshock was fun. cant really blame you for not liking hl2 and fallout tho.

Very much so. I wish there was more in that world. The lore was really interesting to me. It's not often you get a story set on Mars that actually has something unique about it.

The first Deus Ex game I played was Deus Ex: Invisible War on the original Xbox, which I loved. It's the first foray into cyberpunk for me and sparked a love of it I've had since. It was not well received, and considered a dumbed down version of the original game.
Still love it. The Arcology in Cairo was my favorite part.

Battlefield 1, I liked its slower-paced combat and need for teamwork for things like ships and the heavy bomber (original, not the super heavy).
It was different than almost all contemporary shooters, and I really found that refreshing. It also had a strong art design and really looked the part for WW1, even if some of the weapons were prototypes or team weapons (which should have been cut, imo) or vehicles were tweaked for gameplay (understandable, the German tanks were extremely tippy, and the French tanks were slower IRL)

Fallout 4. game was pretty decent but the pacing was weird. by pacing I mean the game seemed like it was set out in a way that you wouldn't complete the game until you were many levels up from what I was, so many upgrades that took a lot of caps left unlockable, and by the time I felt I was really starting to get somewhere, the game ended with the Institute ending
Fallout 4 is a great game.

Shadow the Hedgehog
Megaman X7
Looking back, I know why. I was just so happy to play as Shadow/3D Zero, I really didn't care about the many faults these games have.

Breath of the Wild. It is such a good game and I really love it and I only have ever heard possitive things about... but than I met a bunch of old school Zelda fans and they don't like the game that much. They say it's a great game but not a Zelda game. Maybe they just wanted to be contrarian but I can also understand where they are comming from.
I ended up replaying Wind Waker and I still haven't finished Breath of the Wild.
I think BotW is a spectacular game for kids who don't have access to just about any game they want.
