I read a lot about it and sounded like it would be very good stuff Bought it and played for just under 2 hours. Some games I played for quite a bit and others I just quit after like 5 minutes. Refunded.
I grew up with a NES and have played games since I was 4 so I have had my fair share of games like this but I just can’t stand these old games any more. There is nothing fun for me in them as I think they are just tedious. I don’t know, it feels like I am the only person not liking this game but that is okay. I gave it a try and really looked for something that would catch me by nope. Afterwards I have watched some streams of it and just concluded that no, even if I would have given it more time I would not have found it fun.
Id say a 1/3 of the games had NESHard energy. Some reviewers even said the first game listed was probably the worst experience for someone to play and starts people off with a bad taste.
I forced myself to play single game and absolutely found 10 games that were fascinating.
I also wonder if I approached it from a budding game developer, and how they recreated some modern experiences in a pure NES environment.

Nah I feel you. Grew up with the NES as well. I played for a few hours and then I bounced off it. I think I’ll play it some more at one point. I love that it exists, I love the idea of it, but playing it leaves me pretty neutral.

Exactly this. I love that it exists, that someone took a chance in making it and that it is successful. Just not for me :)
