Games I 'discovered' on my own
The idea for this list was inspired by this video, where at the beginning of the video he says "If these games didn't have the massive following they do and you found them on your own, would your feelings toward them be different?".
So basically these are games I didn't find out about through Backloggd, Metacritic, Twitter, or from friends, and could form my own opinion about them. Not so surprisingly I love most of these games.
Honestly making this list has kinda inspired me to spend less time on both this site and the internet as a whole, hopefully, I can stick to it

The big one.
I don't quite remember what compelled me to play the demo back in March 2020, but I did and I was intrigued. A month later I bought it, played it, got stuck on a boss, picked it up again a month later, finished it, and now I have escaped a Fortnite addiction and have almost 200 games sitting on a shelf.

Not generally going to include entries in series I played after the first game I played from them or DLC, but I beat this the day it came out, so I didn't have a chance to have my opinion swayed at all and I love it.
Bought it on a whim because it was the only game left in Target and Byleth had just added to Smash so I knew who they were.
Including trailers, because I'm not really being influenced by other people's opinions, but yeah I liked the trailer and needed something to buy for the PS5 at launch, and wowee was that a good decision.
Perfectly represents what this list is about, bought it for 3 bucks on sale, solely because it was cheap and loved it.
Same thing as FAR
In 2021 before I really had an organised backlog, I grouped every game I owned/had access to, put it through a randomizer and this came up. It's amazing
PS Plus is a great thing.
"It's only a 2-hour tech demo it can't be that good". ITS PEAK.
Played it cos marvel cool, but it's actually one of the better mobile games in terms of gameplay and monetisation.
Gamepass is a great thing.

This is a cool list idea! (and a good list too haha)
@cowboyjosh @TheYeti Thanks for the kind words! Honestly, it would be a dream scenario for me to discover a game like Katamari on my own but I think my game knowledge is unfortunately too vast now
