Didn't you like spore? I thought it was awesome! Maybe because I was I kid when I played it though
So, full disclosure, I do look back on it nostalgically now. I was in high school when it came out. I was incredibly invested in the hype. I would watch the tech demos of it multiple times a week I think. It wasn't so much that it was bad, more that it heavily under delivered on what was shown in demos.
I never saw a trailer/a developer interview (I didn't have access to easy internet at the time) and I only learned about it though a review on a printed game magazine (I miss those, even if they were expensive) that rated it quite highly. So I didn't have any expectations and I had a blast playing it! I wonder how a sequel would have been, from time to time.
