What's won you over?

Recently I’ve been pulled back into playing GTA Online for the fist time in like 9 years. Weirdly I’ve really been enjoying myself with it and this is a game, or at least mode in a game, that I absolutely hated the last time I played it. They’ve done a lot to balance things out and make it way more enjoyable than I previously thought they could do.

This got me thinking, is there a game you played ages ago where you just put it down immediately or couldn’t stand but came around on? Do you think there’s one out there that you could now find yourself enjoying?

The last games I can think of that I put down with a bad taste in my mouth were all Final Fantasy games, but I’m open to giving them another try later. FFXVI for example I just did not care about the characters in the demo, or their problems. But I have a feeling I may come back around to FFXV, and just install every quality-of-life mod I can find xD.

I also put down FFVII Rebirth as grinding was super boring, but it was required to beat the Midgar Zolom. I refused so I put it down xD.

I guess I’ve had less luck with the I-came-back-and-was-happy-this-time haha
