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?

    Stardew Valley. I pirated it because I really didn’t think I would like it, but was curious about all the positive buzz that was going on around it. Played for maybe 45 minutes and decided that it wasn’t for me. I think it was two weeks later that I picked it back up again because some article wouldn’t stop singing it’s praises. Start playing, look up, 4 hours had passed.

    So I bought the game and proceeded to put over 200 hours into it.

    Then I bought it on Switch and put like 160 hours into it.

    Then I bought it on Mobile and put like 60 hours into it.

    Never thought I’d click so well with some silly farming game.

        You might want to opt for PC if that’s at all your style. The mod scene in Stardew is very strong.

        It is mad cozy in Switch handheld mode though

          Switch at PS5 household only, though the allure for PC is strong
