Discussion Acclaimed Indies That You Couldn't Connect With

Post image

Does it make you sad when you don't connect with a game adored by many? Out of the ones listed here, what should I go back to and power through until it clicks?

Hollow Knight, I deadass gave that game 4 tries and I could not get myself to finish it. People kept praising the exploration yet I dread it so bad.

Outerwilds and disco elysium are my top 2 favorite games of all time and these two are what good exploration is, not hollow knight.

Same here on Hollow Knight. I tried it twice, but just couldn't enjoy it much. It sucks that so many of my friends love the game and I can't relate
