Today on GamingBolt, we delve into the realm of forgotten gems in the gaming world. We're talking about titles like Mass Effect 3, Cyberpunk 2077, and Assassin's Creed Shadows. These games, despite their initial shortcomings, have managed to claw their way back into the spotlight. Mass Effect 3, for instance, faced backlash for its lackluster ending, but the journey leading up to it was nothing short of spectacular. Cyberpunk 2077, on the other hand, stumbled out of the gate with bugs aplenty, but after numerous updates, it finally shines with its dense open world and engaging narrative.
Then there's Dark Souls 2, the black sheep of the Souls series. While it may have disappointed some with its world design, its multiplayer component stands as a shining beacon of excellence. Days Gone, touted as PlayStation's big zombie game, struggled to stand out in a saturated market but has since garnered a legion of fans with its thrilling zombie encounters. Dishonored 2, despite critical acclaim, failed to capture a wide audience, offering players a deep and immersive stealth experience with branching narratives based on player choices.
Moving on to MadMax, a game that flew under the radar upon release but has since gained a dedicated following for its diverse world design and exhilarating vehicular combat. Batman Arkham Knight, with its fully drivable Batmobile and narrative richness, faced criticism for its clunky controls but still managed to maintain the quality of its predecessors. These games, like Metal Gear Solid 2, Quantum Break, Watchd Dogs, Prey 2017, Alien Isolation, Bulletstorm, and Murdered Soul Suspect, may have faced initial challenges, but have ultimately found their place in the hearts of gamers who appreciate their unique offerings and innovative gameplay mechanics.
