literally never met a person who liked secret of mana that didnt play it as a child
i think you picked the big ones that stand out to but heartbreakingly i must admit that the original Devil May Cry seems to wash completely over as many people in 2022 as it engages with
Bioshock is one of these, at least it was for me.
I deleted my comment earlier because I don't know if it would fit but I still stand by Hollow Knight, I really don't get it
Shadow of the Colossus unfortunately does this to a lot of people since they're not a fan of the controls and camera
I think Mega Man 2 fits in here?
Megaman 2 yeah

Thinking that some of these games aren’t that great is the whole point of this list

kind of an edge case but i'll pitch it. i played the original streets of rage trilogy well after the release of streets of rage remake, so by that point it was kind of 'common' consensus with most of the people you would try talking to about the series that the remake was the 'best' way to experience the trilogy. i remember some of those fans were even upset about SOR4 for a time. anyways i played SOR:R a little bit after playing the first three. glad i did. that games bad
Yume Nikki? Feel like due to a surge of games like it that came afterwards (be they fangames or inspired by) some would feel the edge of the game as dull
I know it's probably not old enough yet but I'm definitely starting to see this sometimes with Dark Souls which is aging me just by the weight of how many I've heard it from. Either way this is a fun list!!
Also Gone Home I feel fits the bill since it does receive a lot of "people only like it because lesbians are in it" critiques
Kirby Super Star Ultra compared to Super Star?
I have a friend who played SH2 a couple of years ago and loved it
Anyways, I feel weird because I am in the position that I played a lot of them as a child and wasn't really a fan even then

Startlingly accurate list.
Hollow Knight was mentioned but I see it a lot with NieR: Automata
