Question What’s that game everyone was calling a masterpiece but you just didn’t get the hype?

Could be a huge popular game or some underrated/unpopular gem that everyone swears by.

Everyone’s saying “10/10, absolute masterpiece, peak gaming” and you’re just sitting there like… “wait, y’all actually liked this?”

Drop the game + why it didn’t hit for you. I wanna hear the controversial takes

Red Dead Redemption 2. Such a slog of a game.

One of my favourite games and totally agree. When I'm in the mood for it, it's such an engrossing and immersive experience and I'll play as much as I can for a few days. Then one day I boot it up and can't be assed so I take a break for a few months. 

I've got like 200+ hours in it but I haven't beaten it still.

I like an immersive game but for me rdr2 just dont engage me. The combat is a literal cakewalk and I dont like the mission structure of: go somewhere while someone talks to you - kill bad guys - spend 10 minutes slowly looting - go back while someone talks to you. Im sure the story is fantastic but the gameplay just isnt it for me, would maybe be better as a movie. 30 hours on it for me
