I love the original Hotline Miami but I’m not a big fan of the boss fights like the ones in Neighbors (Biker) and Deadline (Van Driver). I find it kind of slows down the game and limits the strategies you can take.
Another example would be Fallout 3. I find the tutorial section in Vault 101 can feel a bit long after a fifth run but maybe that’s because I was spoiled by Fallout New Vegas’ ability to run off in your own direction immediately after leaving Doc Mitchell’s house.
Terraria. I love Terraria but the start is a chore to get through with how slow everything is. It’s still not enough to stop me of course, the game is just too much fun
There was a time when the beginning was all we had, and we loved it damnit!
How I wish I could play it for the first time again, beating the wall of flesh for the first time and discovering that the entire game just shifted to whole new level was amazing. Then, after beating moon lord a couple of times, discovering modded Terraria. There are no words to describe the joy this game has brought me
All for a game I picked up on sale for like $2 10 years ago
Damn, last time I played the wall of flesh was the final boss
