They say word-of-mouth marketing is the most effective form of marketing. What games did you (not) enjoy that came well-recommended by friends to you, and why did they recommend it to you? (lemmy.zip)

Feel free to replace "friends" with "anyone you know in real life" or even online groups you trust or are close with.

"They":

WOM marketing is highly effective as 88% of consumers trust friend recommendations over traditional media.

and my own personal experience; most games I have bought in the past 10 years have been off of recommendations from r/gamingsuggestions before Reddit went to crap and Lemmy came into existence; and even moreso when it is a personal friend recommending things to me.

Mods, feel free to nuke if this feels too close to advertising or better-suited for !videogamesuggestions@lemmy.zip (my own community); I mean it more as a discussion piece but I don't run the place.

EDIT: The "not" in the title is optional; I'm asking about both successful and failed recommendations.

I agree with you, it was too much walking Sim for my liking.

Little Kitty Big City is a much more fun cat game in my opinion. Slight mix of collectathon, platformer, puzzle game that does a good job of making you feel like a cat.

    Funny I had exactly the opposite reaction. It was far too short in a tiny area, I spent far more time battling the controls than solving puzzles, not that the puzzles were hard. I hated the experience unfortunately. There was so many times I thought, why can't I do X, I'm a cat, but the game was locked into it's traditional platforming. I did have a good bit of fun making people do their phones and run away with them, best bit of the game.
