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?

    The Long Dark

    Getting lost in the snowy wilderness I so much fun. I have many “oh shit” moments that kinda don’t happen once you learn the maps and improve.

      I’ve had that one in my library since it originally came out and I’ve been wanting to play it ever since, but haven’t found time. I understand they’ve added quite a bit since the early days!

        Yeah it’s changed a lot over the years but is such a unique experience I recommend it to everyone.

        They still haven’t released all the story mode chapters but survival mode is by far the best way to play.

          I have been thinking about some old survival game that I used to play that doesn’t exist anymore recently, maybe it’s time I give The Long Dark some real playtime!

          Oh, the story mode is not finished yet? Any idea if they have a goal date?

            They are on to the last episode now but it’s all overdue by like 5 years at this point so who knows.

              Seems like just about all games end up overdue by years (or sometimes a decade) these days.
