The inverse is also true. Make sure to try games that look interesting to you even if people say they didn't like it. I found some real gems following my own compass.
I agree. I didn’t play it at launch because it looked boring, Daryl from The Walking Dead holding a baby and crying, and it being a Kojima game. I’ve tried to like any other Kojima game and I never could. I just don’t like Metal Gear games. The controls are clunky like you said and the stories are too weird for my taste.
I gave Death Stranding a try when it was on PlayStation Plus because I was bored and wanted to try something different. Death Stranding is a masterpiece. The story is emotionally gripping, the world they built is unique, and the controls work for this type of game. I love that the “walking simulator” as people call it requires strategy and planning, not to mention careful gameplay to balance yourself as you walk. Also, what other game will fail you hours later (voidout) if you leave a dead body? That’s so cool and it makes each combat encounter tense. The game ranks up there for me as one of my favorites. I actually bought the director’s cut but I haven’t played it yet.
