Personally, I never go in expecting a game to be "Best Game EVER!!!11ELEVEN!!" If it's a fun game, that's more then enough for me. Shadow of the Colossus is widely considered an amazing game and proof that video games can be art. I found it alternately boring and frustrating, sometimes both at the same time. In fact I never got past the first colossus. I quit the game because I wasn't having fun. I'll slog through a boring to play rpg if the story is good. And if the game play of an action game is good, who cares if the story is forgettable?
Main line Mario games have a long history of having forgettable stories or no stories. But the gameplay is usually solid and fun. That's all I'm really looking for in a main line Mario title.

I'm completely against the idea of forcing yourself to play through a game if the first few hours don't appeal to you, but quitting after the first 15 minutes doesn't sound like giving the game a fair chance. Where did you get stuck?
I think he wasn't stuck, he just never clicked with the game.
My wife tried it on her PS4 Pro and guess what, she felt exactly the same as FaeKnight... Boring as hell !
I'd much rather have Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition bug fixes and DLC than Xenoblade Warriors to be honest. The getting stuck on platforms in keeps glitch hasn't happened often but it would be nice for it not to happen at all, fixing handheld performance would also be nice. Then in terms of DLC, add in the champions, add in more fan favourite characters like Groose and while there's already a lot of Adventure maps more would be cool.

Try "quitting after the first hour" and you'll be closer to the truth. I managed to eventually make it half way up the first colossus, but found the climbing controls frustrating, and the rest of the game boring. So I stopped playing, removed the game from my PS2, and mailed it back to Gamefly. The game looks very pretty, but I found it to be equally boring and frustrating. I can see why people might love it, but it's not for me.

Give ODYSSEY more time, at first if reminded me of Mario Galaxy which I hated, but as I played, I became a little more fond of it, started reminding me almost of Mario 64, which I did like, it also took me some getting used to, but again, I ended up liking it very much, so don't give up on it Odyssey just yet, hell, when I got the pin striped noir ganster outfit, I had so much fun just with that, lol.
yah, just get out of the mindset of "serious gamer, whoop ass" and get into the "f**k off, cause as much mayhem and screw around" mindset and you'll end up liking it I thinks

Sounds like my experience with Kingdom Hearts. Could never get more than five or six hours into the first game, no matter how many times I tried. I just don't like that game.
I enjoy Shadow of the Colossus, but I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe because of the atmosphere and focus on exploration? One of the things I immediately liked about BotW was its SotC-esque atmosphere. Except, you know, it was actually interactive and had stuff to do in the world.
And Mario Odyssey... gets better the more you play it. I really only started to love it when I'd actually finished the main story. The post-game content is pretty good.

Something about Kingdom Hearts.
When i was Teen, the first Kingdom was really impressive in gameplay.
But after the sequel KH2 appeared, i started to questioning the storyline that SquareEnix want to deliver.
With soooo many spin-offs on Nintendo machine (that will connect between KH1 & KH2 + KH3), i felt tired to follow KH Storyline.
Like why the heck it didn't finished yet ?
What the heck does Organization XIII want ?
If KH3 will NOT the Final of Kingdom Hearts Trilogy, i swear i will NOT Follow KH4 with Horrible storyline to be delivered.
@Anti-Matter Yeah, well, I dislike the gameplay enough that I can't even appreciate the apparently insane storyline across this series. Endless trash mobs that jump you every twenty feet. Horribly designed worlds. Weirdly loose-feeling controls. And the mix of Final Fantasy and Disney, in general, still just weirds me out.
@Cobalt 10 days in 10 months. So you could say you've spent more time on a Nintendo fan site complaining about the Switch then actually playing it?? Pretty sad that you insist on going on when anyone else would have just sold there Switch and moved on to a console more suited to there needs.
I've played my Switch almost daily since Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great games so far and looking forward to what comes next.
@Ralizah
yah, I have to agree with Kingdom Hearts, only reason I played through was because there was no game trading store in my area at the time of the very first one, but the game was just *TOO Damn Cutified" for its genre, and I LOVE Super Mario RPG and most of those type Mario games, I LOVE Chocobo's Dungeon too and they are cute as hell, so if I hate Kindom Hearts because its "TOO CUTE", you know it's bad (in my opinion only)
but yah, again, it took me some time to get into Odyssey, but ended up loving it too

@DarthNocturnal I never played Sunshine, because it just looked too much like Galaxy in gameplay, so I won't comment on its value too me, but if I can find a used copy I guess I can give it a shot, you say it's a good game

As for Kingdom Hearts, the original game didn’t age gracefully at all. The worlds are to cramped to support the gameplay and it results in a bad camera. Despite the great love for Disney the developers poured into this title, I wouldn’t reccomend anyone to play the original.
KH II and Birth by Sleep are far better games to play. Games support the playstyle way better with levels being bigger and a more stable camera.

I did love 64 very much, but Galaxy, I just really couldn't stand, my oldest daughter likes it (yet hasn't played in like 8 years), insisted on taking it to college with her,has admitted in all the time being there, has yet to want to play it, LOL, never played 2 or 3, because so I can't say with any honesty I'd hate them too, but I am bias againt trying them Because of my experience with Galaxy 1

The only thing really limiting Odyssey at this point is no significant DLC yet. The 1.2.0 hint arts and playing Luigi's Balloon World to unlock all the costumes have been fun over the past 7 or so months (there's about a month left of content) but new Kingdoms would be a lot better.
Right now Odyssey, Sunshine and 3D World are at the top (1st, 2nd, 3rd), DLC Kingdoms would push Odyssey far ahead.
