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?

Understandable. It got pretty frustrating for me too at various points. I'm kinda bad at this kind of combat in general. Most of what motivates me to push through it in games like Dark Souls or Tunic is being interested in the world. But sometimes not even that's enough.

it's especially wild in a cutesy game like tunic where it just bodies you ten minutes in. it made me feel like i had been tricked.

Try playing Environmental Station Alpha. Super cutesy robot, absolutely unfair difficulty for a Metroidvania. Which is a shame, because there's an interesting story and gameplay buried in that difficulty, and I love Metroidvanias.

man, soulslikes ruined metroidvanias.
