15 Video Games You Wrongly Assume Are Terrible
7. Viva Pinata
The Game: Rare's singular 2006 garden-tending simulator, with the goal being to collect pinatas and breed them.
Why You Assume It's Terrible: A large portion of gamers wrote this one off from the outset because it looked like a silly, low-effort children's game that should probably have been on the Nintendo Wii instead, right?
Why You're Wrong: Viva Pinata may be colourful and cute, but to be honest, a lot of kids would probably find it too difficult to get through, and there's also a massively unexpected level of depth to the core mechanics.
It's an easy game to mock, but if you actually try the game for yourself, your cynicism will probably crumble away in mere moments.
