Comment on similar to the word of mouth post, what game did you not expect much from but loved it?
Bamboodpanda@lemmy.world 20 hours agoA thousand times this. There were a lot of stories that made me cry, but Alice had me sobbing. When you had to walk slowly to stay with her, I felt like I was walking with my grandmother towards the end.
Incredible game.

I had lost my grandad a few years prior and never really dealt with it. My Grandma was already declining and only had months to go. I went in 100% blind to Spiritfarer and started it because I wanted something laid back, and I enjoyed the art style. Talk about a gut punch.
That game, at that time, had the same effect that watching Grave of the Fireflies had back in the day. It still sticks with me to this day.
