As in, when you search for reviews and information about a game you're considering, you hear something that's portrayed and often seen as a criticism, but actually makes you more interested in and likely to play the game.
I'll start, here are two examples for me:
- "This 2D/3D platformer is too linear" - I'm all ears. For the platformer genre, I prefer the platforming-heavy linear hallway design of games like Crash Bandicoot over the more open-ended games like A Hat In Time.
- "Too many infodumps" - I actually enjoy infodumps and find they're often well-written and satisfyingly bring everything together. This is a criticism I didn't agree with for LAD Infinite Wealth. I generally prefer laborious, spoonfeeding explanations and clarity over stories that highly leave things up to interpretation or require astuteness/reading between the lines to comprehend.
