I played Nine Sols recently and it had a transformative effect on my gaming experience. I’ve found myself no longer getting mad at fairly structured games and deeply enjoying the personal refinement of my skill set in pursuit of a goal. Suddenly this shift in perspective has allowed me to see difficulty in a new light and truly savor the victory that comes after significant effort. With this new perspective, I decided to try the game that had made me hesitate the most with its reputation for difficulty: Sekiro
Its been truly eye opening to realize that my nervousness has only kept me from a good time. Or maybe I just wasn’t ready for it…
Following that trend, I started Celeste for the first time even though I never play pure platformers, and it has blown my socks off. Do I suck? You bet your ass I do. But I know it’s from a lack of detailed platforming, and developing that skill has been very fun and satisfying.
Now, I’d love to hear from others. What games made you regret waiting so long to try them?
Several years ago now I played witcher 3. It was released in 2015. I enjoyed this game way more than I thought I would and couldn’t believe I slept on it for 7 years or so before finally playing it
A friend tried to talk me to into playing this one for years before I finally went for it. I should have listened sooner!
I’ve not got to it yet, but ppl here have told me it’s still great in spite of its age. Just gotta finish baldur’s gate and control, then it’s next on my list.
I got it shortly after it came out because everyone was saying how great it was, and I immediately bounced off of it. Every few years, I’ll go back and try again hoping I can find what people loved about it, but it’s just not my taste. I forced myself as far as Skellige one time, but only because I kept reminding myself, “If you get to a new area, you might get to play more Gwent.”
Nobody told me about Gwent when I started playing. I wish the standalone game was just that 🤣. I enjoyed the hell out of that game.
Too bad the games not your taste. The graphics, environments, the story, all really drew me in. The one DLC was in particular really good on the plot.
