First thread?

I was reluctant to try This War Of Mine.  I thought it sounded pretentious, the "game-play" looked dull, and I normally pass on anything side-scrolling.  However, I kept reading atypical words of praise for it and a Steam sale made me jump.  I ended up loving it and putting a ton of hours into it.

On a related side-scrolling note, I decided to try a Rayman game on Vita.  It also had a bunch of praise and I was thinking that maybe I should give platformers another chance.  I'd grown sick of them years ago but it had been forever since I'd played one.  I ended up remembering all the things I dislike about the genre and quit after a few levels.  At least I now know for sure and no future game will tempt me.

Thanks for the applause, haha.

I have never heard of This War of Mine. I did a quick Google search, and apparently it is now out on console too. 

I personally enjoy platformers, however, I understand that they do not appeal to everyone. On that note, there tends to be a negative stigma surrounding collectathon video games, yet I find them incredibly satisfying.
