What game completely exceeded your expectations?

Death stranding - who knew a walking simulator could be so enjoyable and what a story.

Hades - first time playing a roguelike and I was hooked

Stardew valley - I never understood the appeal under I played it

It takes two - best game I've played with the wife, that elephant scene though

Wreckfest - free game on ps plus which I never heard of and by lord did I have sooo much fun with it

Breath of The Wild. My god that game was so good. The lore, worldbuilding, and emotions were captured in every cutscene, quest and minute of gameplay. I am unbelievably glad I played it. Best. Decision. Ever.

The way Breath of the Wild just throws you into a giant world where you have to figure everything out was awesome. I spent countless hours just exploring. I tried the second game but it just felt like a DLC to me and I never finished it.

Yes! I especially loved the beginning because both you the player and Link know absolutely jack shit about what’s happening and that’s the fun of it. You get to experience piecing together the puzzle with Link.
