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?

    Definitely fear and hunger (the first one)

    Also, baldur’s gate 3 has an uncountable number of “no fucking way the devs did this” that make a blind run of the game a memorable experience

    Same goes with the metal gear solid saga

      Lol, Fear and Hunger is banned in Germany (which usually means it’s good).

      BG3 might be a bit above my current PC’s capabilities.
      I’ve donated my gaming PC for controlling the lighting at a local non-profit concert venue, so now I only have my laptop to game.

        I think it’s not banned, but doesn’t have an age rating, which makes it ill gal to be advertised in Germany. Since displaying the game counts as “advertisement”, Valve simply doesn’t let you buy it.

        I’ve played BG3 mostly on geforce now, it’s a nice workaround if your pc is not capable enough. If you buy it on steam you’ll have synced saves for when you get your pc back.

        They are still updating the game and it has official mod support (not on geforce now though).

        It’s also discounted 20% on steam right now
