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?

    Undertale, but at this point you’d have to have lived in a cave for the last decade to not know most of the spoilers by now.

      Well, apparently I have!
      The only thing I’ve heard about Undertale so far is that it is supposed to be good.

        That’s all Ive heard too. I tried playing it but the combat was weird. Kinda boring to me so I never advanced further.

      Tbh, I played it for a few hours, didn’t like it and don’t understand all the fuss about it. Does it get good later?

      I was at a point, where I was going through a cave with a castle in the background (it was a few years ago), it was probably some kind of riddle, but I couldn’t be bothered.
      Is it worth going forward or did I see enough to just say “it’s not my kind of game”?

        I’m gonna be the heretic here, it’s actually really terrible. If you don’t like Homestuck and that brand of humor, you won’t like Undertale.

      Undertale is such a bolt of lightning. It both depends on its player having experience with traditional JRPG and having no fucking clue what it is. But when the conditions line up, as it did for many people at release, it was such a master fully crafted experience. But even the slightest amount of “it’s good because…” really siphons part of the experience away.
