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.

    This is the one where we bully our little brother into going back to the world where he can’t walk, right? :P

          And that’s critical, because it’s one of the longest tutorials in game history (because it’s so slow).

          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).
