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?

Bioshock.

Red Dead Redemption (and RDR2).

Portal.

What about Portal makes it worth going in blind?

Its something of a mystery game. You wake up in an unfamiliar place and have a nebulous goal.

Letting the clues of the story build is a big part of the experience.

At its heart it's a puzzle game so going in having seen someone do the puzzles will make it not as interesting.
