What was a game you tried but didn't like, but now love after a second chance?

Hm. Maybe the Elder Scrolls series. When I first tried Oblivion I felt annoyed that the game even gave me the option to like steal anything. Like things are just lying there in people's houses and Zelda taught me to just loot everything. Then I get thrown in jail and feel like that means I just fk'd up my save or whatever and then I just felt bad about playing it.

Meanwhile Skyrim is like one of my favourite games ever. Maybe the streamlining plus coming into with a more understanding mindset allowed me to properly enjoy the immersion and freedom in that series.
