[Question] Games that grow on you

Metroid Prime, believe it or not.

I never had the chance to play Super Metroid in my younger days, I have no idea why.
I'll assume we just hadn't heard of it or something.

Anyway, not having played Super Metroid, not even knowing Metroid existed at all, I purchased Metroid Prime on its release day because a friend told me I had to get it.
I turned it on and literally hated it from start, I think got past the parasite queen before I decided to return it.

So I did.
But a couple of the next few nights something was bugging me, I got this massive craving of wanting to play it again, and it just kept growing.
So maybe 5 days later I had to re-buy it again, got home and played it non-stop until I finished it.

Since then MP has been one of my favourite games, and the series is amongst my top 3.

Definitely grew on me, and I wasn't even playing it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's another game that really just never gets old for some reason.

Even though I have never actually played it, I love this game.
I used to watch a friend of mine go through it.

And the music was just fantastic, I loved it.

We still quote certain stuff from the game, but most often it's Drachma-related.

(And yeah, I started off not liking it for the same reasons as you did. Although later on it grew on me, especially the music.)

There's nowhere I can't reach.
