Which video game did you bounce off of at first, but then tried again later for it to become one of your favorites of all time? (lemmy.world)

PS4 God of War

I’ve been Xbox, Nintendo, PC my whole life, and eventually borrowed a PlayStation during the pandemic to play through some exclusives. I barely got through the tutorial before putting it down for two years. Got a ps5 eventually and gave it another try… and loved it.

Donkey Kong County Returns. Played it back when I was younger and it didn't click with me. The platforming was too challenging and honestly I think I got too swept up in the hype around the game at the time.

Coming back to it later, I really appreciate it now. The music, animations and platforming is all sublime. It's sequel, Tropical Freeze is my favorite 2d platfomer hands down. It's an absolute joy to play

Andor's Trail

Like just about everyone, I started the game by forgetting to equip the armour and weapon. Instadeath and rage at the weakest mobs.

Came back to it later and read some of the hint text, which helped to pass the first map. Then several months to grind away and complete every quest. Top game with an eclectic sense of humour. Very recommended.

What finally hooked you and why'd you bounce the first time?
