8 Video Games That Are Fun Even If YOU SUCK

Hades is a really interesting example of this, because there's basically such a thing as being too good at Supergiant Games' roguelike action-RPG. 

Y'see, exceptionally skilled players who manage to sail through to the end of the game in short order will actually end up missing large swaths of story, character development, dialogue, and general lore which are doled out over many repeat runs.

And so, the fact that each subsequent run feels unique and fleshes out the overall experience makes it much tougher to feel demoralised and defeated when you lose.

Upon dying, the world is yours again to soak in and have more chit-chat with its many brilliant companion characters.
