But there are also some titles that, without generating expectations, go out to become phenomena with audiences. That is why today we want to remember some examples with this Top 5 games that we didn't expect but left us very satisfied.
Number 5 – DOOM (2016) showed that we still need games from this franchise
After the arrival of Doom 3 In 2004, the ID Software saga was forgotten for several years. It was even announced that a supposed Doom 4 was canceled due to its similarities to Call of Duty.
It wasn't until 2016 when we had a totally new Doom. However, after so much silence and years without new games, very few were really excited about it.
But this new installment came to show that there is still plenty of life in this saga. With a shooter that managed to modernize its bloody gameplay to give us one of the most entertaining and exciting games of that year.
It was so successful that years later it arrived Doom Eternal to improve everything about its predecessor and gave us again a title loved by the masses. And now we're waiting for the rumored Doom Year Zero be true and reach our hands very soon.
Number 4 – Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
Here we find a rather curious case. The first release of Final Fantasy XIV It did have some fans excited, after all it belongs to one of the most beloved gaming sagas. But everything changed when it was released.
Many players felt that the title was incomplete, with very bad gameplay and an even worse interface. The response was so negative that Square Enix apologized and worked to improve the experience.
Faced with this disastrous beginning, no one expected A Realm Reborn, which would be the relaunch of Final Fantasy XIV. However, the new team behind it fulfilled its mission and gave us one of the best MMO games in recent years.
Each expansion received much praise from critics and its player base only grew over the years.. Even now many are excited waiting for its new expansion: Dawntrail. Not to mention that it is about to reach more players with its Xbox version.
Number 3 – Batman: Arkham Asylum, from zero trust to giving us one of the best superhero games
Today almost every game fan knows the saga Batman: Arkham and Rocksteady, the studio that gave us their acclaimed trilogy. But it was not always like this.
In fact, many fans had doubts at the time about the development of Batman: Arkham Asylum. Since Rocksteady had only one game developed at that time and it had nothing to do with Batman.
These doubts disappeared when the game finally arrived in our hands. Not only did he have one of the best detective stories, But its combat and stealth mechanics became a watershed in the industry.
This was just the beginning of an award-winning trilogy that many consider to be the best superhero games. And to think that there were people who didn't trust Rocksteady to give the best detective in the world a virtual adventure.
Number 2.- Demon's Souls
Although FromSoftware has been in the video game industry for years, it never had much notoriety. But now many players are always aware of what their next project will be. We could say that all this began with Demon's Souls.
The initial demos received very negative reviews. So much so that Sony did not want to take it outside of Japan. So Atlus took on that task and curiously it became a success in the West.
This was the first of the games called Soulslike, with a somber aesthetic and a difficulty that makes even the most expert in video games cry. Although Demon's Souls had no sequels, it gave rise to the saga Dark Soulswhich is its spiritual successor, and other games like Bloodborne, Sekiro and more recently Elden Ring. Which maintained their playability, although with some changes.
It also made FromSoftware go from a certain anonymity to being one of the most respected studios in the industry.
Number 1 – Fortnite, is the greatest example of games that no one expected and became a boom
The first times Epic Games showed Fortnite there were many doubts about what this new game would be. Especially since it went through many changes throughout its development. Since apparently not even Epic knew what it wanted, not many were excited about this new intellectual property. Even his first mode, which we now know as save the world, was not that popular.
However, at the end of 2017 they decided to add their battle royale mode and the rest is history. Almost seven years later and Fortnite remains one of the battle royales par excellence.
They have also managed to stay current with constant updates, new game modes and of course very interesting collaborations with other games or popular movies and series. The most incredible thing is that in all this time its popularity only increases and it does not seem to stop very soon.
The truth is that even the most well-known sagas of today also had to start as a bet that perhaps many did not trust. So if this teaches us anything, it is that you should give more titles a chance and get out of your comfort zone. Maybe you will find a diamond in the rough. What did you think of our top?
