You can put a ton of hours into a game and not like it. This isn’t a new concept.

Ask any LoL or Destiny 2 player.

But in all seriousness, sometimes a game is just too massive to form an opinion on in any reasonable amount of time.

Yes, this was exactly how I felt when playing Fire Emblem Engage. God. I hated how the hub world basically sucked an equal amount of time for each map I cleared. Sure, the mini-games are optional,But so is brushing your teeth.

I may be getting older but it feels like a lot of games are just padding their runtime with gameplay that doesn't mesh well at all.
