I’m talking about games that you still like but you had no idea were criticized so much.
The perfect example for me is Sonic Unleashed.
I admit that the game has its bad things, but I would have never imagined that it was so hated at the time… Although, that could be extended to the entire Sonic franchise, since for many years I was not aware at all of that “Sonic was never good”, “Sonic had a rough transition to 3D” nonsense.
I played it with a friend and never finished it. I like the idea behind the game a lot, but for me the game was just too easy. There wasn’t a real challenge at all. So i played it for the story. But the characters weren’t really likable either and the guy was pretty annoying. Then there was the part with her favourite plush toy. And i thought they try to get rid of it and then learn something. Nope, they just destroy that thing.
I think it’s a good game, but i would never finish or play it again. And from what i’ve seen, i think the same thing about split fiction
