People who don't like anything are incredibly boring, in my humble opinion. Imagine putting all of this effort into an essay about why other people shouldn't like the things that they like. I think a lot of people mistake being a contrarion for being an intellectual.

Stealth games are a popular genre and I personally find the character of Gollum to be quite compelling and I think it could have been done well, but it obviously wasn't.

I do a pretty accurate Gollum impression and have entertained friends with it at great length and sometimes to their annoyance so maybe I relate to the character more than is usual but I can't be the only one.

My wife and I tried D:OS and she got really bored really fast. I think the pacing of the first couple of chapters is really slow and there's a lot of reading and not a lot of action and she just lost interest really quickly. Too bad but I get it.

Can't relate at all because nobody "belongs to" anyone

I've been playing RimWorld on my deck since I got it last August. Does it play other games? I have no idea.
