2 picks for me: Stardew Valley, most boring shit ever, I don't see the appeal, seriously how the hell did that thing sold 20 million copies?

And Witcher 3, I own that game since 2019 and I regret buying it, funny thing is that I've finished Dragon Age 1 and 2, which are kinda same genre but I actually enjoyed those games. I guess the old BioWare sauce carried those games unlike Witcher where there's nothing to enjoy in its massive pointless world.

FIFA. Every man and boy in England loves FIFA, except me. I find it totally boring and pointless.

The game is popular but isn't universally beloved, even the fans hate it, but they got the monopoly in football games

Yeah. I buy one every few years and usually regret it. They're terrible these days.

Just like any sport game, I only enjoy FIFA in small doses.

Sports games are literally the definition of "playing the same game over and over again". I can only ever do maybe a handful of games in a "season" before I start just simming and focusing solely on the management side of things. And even that doesn't last more than a season. I don't think there's any sports game where I've run more than one or two seasons.

PES back in the day had an amazing manager mode. And become a legend mode was so much better than fifa career. Being just one player and starting in small forgotten clubs and going all the way up to the champions league plus trying to win the "fifa" World Cup was addicting back in the day.

Anyone looking to scratch that itch on PC, consider looking up SP Football Life. Totally free and excellent.

Sensible Soccer was the last football game I was able to get into.

On the Amiga, not the shitty remake.

Sociable Soccer isn't that bad. But it definitely doesn't beat SWOS

Amiga games were so good.
