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.

    That’s the one! We can also bully him with snowballs in the opening scene, if we want to.

      Joining the future zombies in abusing Mewt is the fastest way to get past the tutorial.

        And that’s critical, because it’s one of the longest and worst tutorials in game history!

        I’ve ganged up on Newt every time, after my first playthrough. Poor kid.

          Yep. It’s terrifying when you really put together the story with that being part of what Marche does - but he escaped being made into a zombie (which is such a great piece of foreshadowing).
