Aby game that you heard about and thought “meh it’s just another xyz style game. How good can it be?” But you gave it a go anyway and it turned out the game was really good.
I regret this post now. So many games I want to try now. Folks, there’s only so many hours in a day spare for gaming!
Bioshock. It was expected to be just another FPS but with an interesting “magic” system. What it turned out to be was a narrative played from the first person. My room mate played it as a standard run and gun, and was rightfully unimpressed. Taking it slow, exploring, and passing attention to all the little bits of story made it amazing.

I found it on Steam and thought it looked interesting. It’s a typing game and I’m pretty good with typing, so I picked it up. I played games, but not much and usually it’s just World of Warcraft.
Once I started, I played that game for 12 hours straight. It had me hooked immediately. The visuals are absolutely beautiful, the story is intriguing, and the gameplay is so much fun. I do not finish games very often, but I finished that game in a single weekend.
Rollercoaster Tycoon.
It’s just a game on a cereal box how good can it be?

Was not ready for that emotional rollercoaster from a “cozy” game.
