For me it is Wrestling Revolution 3D......... Bought it real cheap on sale thinking I might get a few hours of it......
111.4 hours ive got out of it so far.........

The first one that comes to mind for me was Prey. Not the 2017 version but the original. I didn't expect the story to be as good as it was. Another would be Kane and Lynch 2 because I didn't think the first was all that good so I never expected the sequel to be such a solid game. One last one I will mention was Saints Row 3. The first two had really not impressed me at all but the third was not only fun to play but hilarious.

Quoting: PublicNuisanceThe first one that comes to mind for me was Prey. Not the 2017 version but the original.

I can say that about both for me. I played the original out of curiosity for the whole portal/gravity mechanics but the themes and characters were really well done. I never expected to finish it as FPS games are not really my thing, but I was hooked. It was short enough to not overstay its welcome and it left me wanting more. I know I say it all the time everywhere, but we were completely robbed when Prey 2 was cancelled.

For Prey 2017, I avoided it until just earlier this year, admittedly alot out of spite for the above, but I finally caved when it was super cheap. The opening was great,

Spoiler, click me

even if you know or can guess the twist coming

, and it gave me enough Deus Ex-ish vibes to keep me engaged. I thought it dragged a bit toward the end and enemies became more annoying than scary or dangerous, and all the side missions really started hurting the pacing so I admittedly stopped caring about those. Lots of little details and reveals though, lots of love put into it. A real shame what happened to the team afterward...

Going way back, I will also say Penumbra. I bought the series when they released the native versions since it looked good for a Linux game esp back then and I wanted to throw some money for the support (it was pretty cheap too IIRC). I never liked horror games, though now I think it's because so many think gore == horror, but Frictional was magic with how they had me *love* hating that game. It took me forever to make it through since I am a coward, but the rush it gave me was unmatched.

Another one I just thought of was Mighty Final Fight....... I only played it for the first time the other month and it was way better than I thought it was going to be....... Its the best Final Fight game by a country mile.........

Umineko When They Cry game is surprisingly good.

To be honest, I never liked playing games and I rarely played anything until the age of 25. But I always wanted to find the perfect way to spend my free time so that I can relax perfectly and forget about all the worries, and I came to this through gambling. I'm really surprised how cool this market is and people can choose games for every taste. Recently at https://aussiebestcasinos.com/casino-bonuses/80-free-spins-no-deposit/ I read a review of the best 80 free spins no deposit online casinos in Australia in 2023, where I can now choose a gaming site every week from a fresh top from this service in order to try as much as possible of something new for myself from this category, which I was very hooked on and which I recommend with confidence.

Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew

I know, there's currently only the demo available. But I was really surprised by the demo. Originally I wasn't even interested in the game. I didn't like its theme and artwork. But after playing the demo I totally changed my mind. I thoroughly enjoyed the game and am now looking forward for the full release.

Pity though, that there isn't a Linux version this time.

İt is eve online for me i hadnt expect that AAA quality. Also Albion Online's success was a big surprise for me.

Started playing Deus Ex: Mankind Divided for the first time. It's really good. One side story line there is so amazing (The Harvester mission).
