Which video game did you bounce off of at first, but then tried again later for it to become one of your favorites of all time? (lemmy.world)

Control.

The beginning of the game is really slow, hard to understand what's happening, and you literally have only minimal throwing ability. The manual navigation with overlay fullscreen map also doesn't do justice to the game. Combining with the fact that I wasn't used to playing these types of games, this was an easy pass for me after like 1 hour of the game.

But boy it's awesome as you actually get more abilities and understand more of the story. Currently it's one of the games I usually come back to.

I didn't realize it was in the Alan Wake universe. I still need to play Control.

Yeah there's only a couple subtle hints in the regular game and I think more in the dlc. I'm guessing they'll lean into it more with control 2 now that AW2 is out as well.

Interesting, I had a similar experience at the start and couldn't work out why everyone was praising it so much. Maybe I'll give it another go

Please do. Control was such a hidden gem. I picked it up in a humble bundle and it absolutely blew me away.
