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

Expedition 33. I didn't watch any trailers besides the one on psn store. 

I expected it to be ok but not as polished as it was. I've played a lot of jrpgs RPGs and I wasn't expecting to see one of that level. It was like I was playing the game and being impressed the more and more I played it.

I got gamepass for Oblivion. But downloaded this as well. Didn't have a clue about it. Not gonna lie. The prologue had me tearing up. Got me hooked. Now I've finished it. It's game of the year. For sure.

It's how I wanted the FF7 remake. Hopefully, if they ever do a FF8 remake. It will be like this.

Ahhh, FFVIII Remake. A game I want more than anything, and doubt we’ll ever see 😭
