Breath of the Wild. First time I played it, I was disgusted and thought that they’d destroyed my favourite ever video game series. I barely played 4-5 hours before putting it down. I felt genuinely upset that I’d waited so long for “this”.

I returned to it perhaps a year or so later, this time getting about 20 hours into the game. I enjoyed it slightly more but it didn’t hold my interest so I dropped it again.

Third time, perhaps a year or so after the second, I tried again. What the hell had I been missing?! I fell in love with it this time, and now it’s not only one of my favourite Zelda games but one of my favourite games ever. So glad I went back to it time and again. Really am not sure what I was missing the first two times around!
