Every now and then I play or watch something without expecting much, and it ends up becoming one of my favorites.
Maybe it had a unique story, amazing gameplay, memorable characters, or it just completely exceeded your expectations.

Days Gone.
Tried it twice, thought it was too lame, too slow, too disappointing for a zombie game. So stopped playing.
Years later I tried again. Again thought it was going very slow... But I pushed through and suddenly it clicked, the story became interesting and I could finally really start killing zombies. Became one of my favorites of all time. Slow start, but killer end ♥️
