Have you ever bought a game without looking into it? How was it?

Kinda. WatchDogs 1. I talked to someone who played and said that he enjoyed it, so I got it for cheap at my GameStop. But I'm not really into these types of games, I kept dying on missions.

Skyrim is another one of those games I didn't look into, just played. I actually enjoy Skyrim. Fallout New Vegas, I watched someone I knew play 3, so I thought Vegas would be cool. It is, when the whole game doesn't crash on me.

All the Halos I've played (ODST, 3 or 4, and Reach I think) I never looked into, my sister and I just plow throu the mission story mode and blew up Covenant in multiplayer. It's alright, but story mode is really quick. Like, we got thought it in a couple of hours with breaks in between (we're not skilled gamers, we got stuck a few times and kept dying. Never have I ever hated piloting a space ship more).

Another kinda was Mirror's Edge. Someone else I knew got it for cheap since it had positive reviews.

I couldn't get past the tutorial where I had to like kick off a wall to reach a ledge. I kept dying. Got mad. Never picked up that game again.
 
Owlboy! Found it in a GameStop while on vacation, bought the physical edition for my Switch. It was great! (Although it was pretty short) Best part about it was the OST, hands down.
 
an ancient yugioh game! my dad let me pick it out in a really small gamestop in the second-hand section, it was for the gameboy advance i believe, and needless to say ... i returned it a week after because i didn't get it. no idea what it was called, but hey. mistakes have been made.
 
Animal Crossing Wild World, the very first AC game I played, what made me fall in love with the series to begin with <3. I was a kid, and I only wanted it cuz it had the word "Animal" on the cover and I loved animals lol. Had no idea how invested I'd be in this series from that point onward~
 
Technically a gift, but Animal Crossing for the GameCube!
I actually didn't get into it first since I was playing Harvest Moon at the same time, but once I got playing I was hooked.
 
Yes, new leaf which is my first AC game ever! I only watched two vids of town tours and saw some people say how they love it and that was enough for me to buy a 3ds and get it.
 
I did this all the time as a kid (except my parents were the ones buying the games). It was usually because I liked the packaging or something like that.
I vividly remember forcing my parents to buy some DS game called “The Chase” (?) at a pawn shop once. I ended up hating it. Nowadays, regardless of whether or not I’m the one paying for it, I’ll always seek information about what I’ll be getting.
 
New Leaf surprisingly!

My friend was talking about it because of the midnight launch and she talked me into impulse buying it and now I'm a fan of the series!
 
stardew valley..........................i have 200 hours in it now. i just asked for it for my birtdhay this year bc i thought it looked cute ( i actually mistakend it for harvest moon! which i also know nothing about!) and its SUCH a fun game. i love it!!!
i did the same with baba is you !! very cute and super clever puzzles but i am Not clever and i havnt gotten more than like . 5 levels in. its really fun for me and my friends to all play while together and see who can figure out the puzzles. challenging, but feels really fun when you get a level!!!

an older one was bravely default for the 3ds. i still havnt touched it in the years ive had it. i keep meaning to see what its about but i never get past the tutorial .. maybe it will make sense to me the next time i pick it up

aand recently i bought cattails for the switch since it was like 5 bucks and its a cute little game, i put a few hours into it! its basically a pixel version of every warrior cats book lmao
 
I do this often lol. I just go based off the cover image. I know. Judging a book by its cover and all lol. It works out half the time
 
octopath travelers! i saw one screen shot of the battle system and the graphics were amazing and i has not played a turn based game in a while so i bought it off that one picture. didn’t regret it the game is actually amazing T^T

I usually used Tressa, Cyrus, Ophelia, and Olberic

In speedruns I ran Tressa story with Tressa, Cyrus, Therion, and Olberic

I might also go back to this game soon, animal crossing takes all my time currently though haha
 
Mario+Rabbids Kingdom battle. I found it on sale+got an additional discount because I had a friend that worked in the store and used their personal employee discount on it for me :) Knew zip about it but the cover art looked like goofy fun and it's an unexpected crossover. Ended up loving the game so much despite thinking it would be okish at best. It is such a good game!
