Games you didn't like but suddenly clicked
Hey folks! Here's an interesting thing that happened with me: I love action RPGs, I love western RPGs, I was addicted to Skyrim. So when The Witcher 3 launched, one of the most well received open world action RPGs I loved it, right? Well... No. In fact, for some reason I can't really understand I could never play more than 2 hours before dropping it.
I restarted that game about 5 times before, never liked it, wished I could refund it.
Until about two weeks ago I randomly decided to try it again and... oh boy, let's just say I'm a child considering if I should sleep for work tomorrow or continue playing all through the night.
Does anybody else have a game that they couldn't like but it suddenly clicked and now they enjoy it?

Your post made me think about kind of a reverse experience. One of the first games that deeply engrossed me and resonated with me was Alan Wake. I played it in my teens on a big old CRT (I believe it was like 40 inches, but a 4:3 aspect). I literally couldn't stop, it was during summer holidays and I didn't even open the blinds to be more immersed in the darkness. I binged through the game in about a week straight. I still consider it one of my all-time favourite games. But recently I started the remaster and just couldn't get into it for some reason. Just didn't click.
I am still waiting eagerly for the second game, and definitely will try again to get into the remaster. Maybe the understanding that I can't recapture nostalgia will help me take it for what it is, not what I remember it being. Because I believe that even separate from that magical experience it's still a good game that I will probably dig.
