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?

I disagree with FEAR simply because I'd say to play it on the hardest difficulty and go balls to the wall because the AI will fuck you over if it gets the chance; and the longer you take to clear a room, the more time the AI has to organize and execute a plan. If it weren't for the fact that I've seen plenty of people get stuck on FEAR because they tried to play it like a cover shooter, I'd fully agree with you.

Honestly, fair assessment. Well said.

Yes! Return of the Obra Dinn 100%. You can still watch other people play it on YouTube later and have a blast seeing them figure things out. And read Lucas Pope's excellent devblog later as well.

I am super intimidated Return of the Obra Dinn. But it looks so cool, and I feel like it uses a lot of lateral thinking and makes you smarter for playing it.

[-] BenLeMan@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

No need to be intimidated. Just pick it up in a sale. Definitely a brain teaser but there are spoiler reduced guides out there in case you get stuck. But you should be able to finish the game even without guidance.

Can you send me the link to FEAR? In steam there are a lot of games with this name lol.

Ok thx, this one is actually available in gog too, and for cheaper. Gonna check it out. (Costed me 0.2$, but there is regional pricing here).

[-] theyllneverfindmehere@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Heck yes. Enjoy. Say hit to Alma for me.

I went into Oxenfree completely blind after picking it up for next to nothing on the switch store. Great story with choices that actually matter. OP, do yourself a favor and play this without a guide.
