I thought it was another by the books Soulslike, kinda like Lies of P, didn't care for the setting, plus the initial gameplay looked cheap.
Newer trailers looked better, nothing else was out at the time so I was looking for something to play and I got some Steam gift cards I wanted to use before I put them in some cupboard and forgot about them. Turned out to be lots of fun, my personal 2025 GOTY so far and my 2nd favourite game in the genre

Xenoblade Chronicles
There was a fuss about it. I got it for cheap but also got another game on the same week that I ended up playing first from beginning to end.

Got into Xeno much later without any hype and completely blind to pretty much everything about it... GOD DAMN I HAD FUN

I still remember how it scratched that itch for a game that just made me want to come home and keep playing, made me feel like a child again. I honestly miss that feeling and haven't had it much these days...

Baldur's Gate 3.
I enjoyed BG1,2,ToB when I was a kid, and I really enjoyed DOS2 but thought it had a pretty bland set of characters, boring world, and just "okay" story. But the quest openness with multiple solutions to your goal was inspired and THAT aspect was the closest thing to D&D I've seen in a video game.
But BG wasn't really about that, at least since BG2 when they started giving more life to their character as opposed to 1's cookie cutter personalities. I picked it up at the start of Early Access since I was positive I'm sure I'd enjoy it enough as a DOS-version of a D&D game, and it looked "okay" enough". I didn't touch it for the rest of EA.

Then release time comes, and it's a VERY different experience if your only other time you played was the very, very beginning of EA. I couldn't believe how much better it was.

It's now my favorite CRPG I ever played (been playing since the Gold Box days)

I just went back recently and FINALLY locked in and beat Velgress, I don't know why it was so hard for me a year ago.

Played it at release, and remember feeling really underwhelmed after Twilight Town. That continued throughout most of the game, save for Toy Story and Monsters Inc. The ending also sucked.

I bought Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen at Gamestop cause it kinda seemed like it would be similar to Dark Souls from the cover.
I dropped it right after the hydra head quest.
Then I saw some Mystic Knight gameplay on Youtube a few months later and had to boot that shit up right away and threw all of my free time at it to play that fun as hell class.

FF7 Rebirth and Expedition 33 were both genuine surprises to me. I had low expectations for both and I was floored by both.

It's never been a better time to be a JRPG fan.

FF16. Kotor before that but I hadn’t even heard about it before release and got it randomly when selling some old games. Granted I was 12 or so years old but still.
