Which games blow your mind, but only if you know nothing about them in advance?

Best examples I can think of are:

  • Outer Wilds
  • Doki Doki Literature Club
  • The Stanley Parable

What are yours?

  • Snatcher
  • Policenauts
  • King's Field (any of them, even Pilot Style)
  • Halo 1-3 + ODST and Reach
  • Yakuza 0
  • Silent Hill 2 (the original, Enhanced Edition for PC is still the best way to experience SH2)
  • Life is Strange (only the original game, completely ignore the fanbase, theyre all toxic)
  • Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (too bad BioWare doesnt have a single good or competent writer anymore)
  • NieR, both Gestalt and Automata
  • Rule of Rose
  • Dark Souls 1-3
  • Elden Ring
  • Kuon
  • Armored Core (all of them, but the controls are hard to deal with before Nexus)
  • Steel Battalion (only if you can find and afford the controller, otherwise dont bother)

I'm honestly not sure this applies to any of those games.

That's true, it's on my list though! Waiting for a decent sale or bundle. (:
