2 picks for me: Stardew Valley, most boring shit ever, I don’t see the appeal, seriously how the hell did that thing sold 20 million copies?

And Witcher 3, I own that game since 2019 and I regret buying it, funny thing is that I’ve finished Dragon Age 1 and 2, which are kinda same genre but I actually enjoyed those games. I guess the old BioWare sauce carried those games unlike Witcher where there’s nothing to enjoy in its massive pointless world.

      I can understand your feeling. I first bought Witcher 3 in 2016 or so and didn’t touch it for years. Picked it up 2 years ago again and loved it. It’s not he best combat, not the best complex game but the story really hooked me. Mind you, it does take a couple of hours for it to get going. And the secondary quests (side quests) are some of the most memorable I’ve ever played.

            I think for me it was the disconnected world. I never got a sense of place or where I was going. I couldn’t spot landmarks, it was all just following roads that I had been told would lead somewhere I was supposed to be.
