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?

    Same happened for me with Deus Ex Human revolution. Back in 2012, I just didn’t understand the plot and the atmosphere of the game, and wasn’t a fan of the decision-making system. Last year, I plugged in my dusty PS3, started the game and I just had all the keys to a better understanding. Adam Jensen is a charismatic character and the scenario makes you want to go through the whole game in a row

      Mankind Divided is really good as well. I’ve played every single main Deus Ex game ever made and they are all amazing, even Invisible War - it wasn’t as good as Deus Ex 1 but compared to most games it was still incredible. I really, really hope we get some more games.

      Cyberpunk 2077 felt a bit like an open-world Deus Ex game too.
