Which video game did you bounce off of at first, but then tried again later for it to become one of your favorites of all time?

Same for me, found it slow at first and didn't really get into it. Tried again a year later and loved it.

Same. I gave up the first time due to tedious details and weird control. I played it again with some control tweak (can't remember what I changed) and tried to embrace the slow details, and completely loved the story.
