Games that make no sense when you play them

It's not always a guarantee for succes when you buy a game, sure you can do a lot of research and try to get as much information before you buy a game but sometimes some bad or weird games slip through the cracks. When a game is bad then you know how to deal with that, you try to trade it in a shop for another game (if that's even possible), you can give it to a friend or you sell it and buy another game. But what if a game is weird? It's not really a bad game but it just doesn't make any sense to you, what do you do then?


What is a weird game?


I guess I should first explain that, because what one person might find weird the other might not find that weird. Weird games are games that are out of your comfort zone, have strange controls and/or have a story that makes no sense to you. Maybe some of you don't see a problem with this but if a game makes you uncomfortable, the controls are difficult for you to master and the story makes no sense to you then that's a weird game! Perhaps you can avoid games out of your comfort zone, you usually know what type of games you like and what you don't like, and you can learn the controls (even games with terrible controls) but when the story or the game itself makes no sense to you then that's a game you might have problems with. It's difficult to enjoy a game when you don't understand it or don't enjoy the direction it's taking, which makes you less motivated to keep playing it.


How do you deal with weird games?


Well that's up to you! It's easy to ignore the game and/or get rid of it but sometimes it pays off to check it out. Perhaps something that was weird to you at first can become something you like, at least if you're willing to give the game a chance. Some games are meant to be a bit weird, just think of certain party games that you play with your friends. You might look ridiculous when you play some of these games but you can have a lot of fun with these games. But the thing is that we don't all see the same games as weird, so what one person might see as weird the other might see as just another game. The most important thing is that you give a game a chance, don't be too quick to judge and just stick with it for some time and then decide if it's something for you or not. I know it's easy to judge, but some games are actually fun to play and you wouldn't think of that when you first saw them or even played those games.
