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?

Factorio and Dyson Sphere Program. At least don't watch people like Nilaus and Dosh Doshington play the game until you've tried to make your own solutions first.

Pin the tail on the donkey.

Some slightly more obscure ones:

  • Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean
  • Planescape: Torment

Also surprised Metal Gear Solid hasn't been mentioned yet.

Rez and Fez. Similar names, very different games.

The real answer will always be Outer Wilds.

But also...

Fez. It definitely inspired Animal Well and Tunic.

Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery. This game is fairly old now (like maybe 15 years) and I’ve only played it once and it took like 4 hours of total playtime, but it remains among the most memorable games I’ve witnessed. I HIGHLY recommend it.

I mean, why the fuck not? 😂

This is probably the cheapest thing I bought this month.
(and that includes the purchase of a single bell pepper)

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim.

Do not go in knowing anything.

The most I will tell you is that it's an adventure game with some minor tower defense elements. And that it is the best game I've ever played, and no game has ever topped it since.
