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 Xenoblade games. Probably Xenogears and Xenosaga, too, but I haven’t played those yet.

      Partially agree. The series as a whole fully agree, game by game is iffy

      XC1 can absolutely stand alone and really needs you to go in blind

      XCFC doesn’t make sense without having played XC1

      XC2 again can stand alone but you’ll catch some story stuff sooner if you’d played XC1

      XCTTGC makes no sense without XC2

      XC3 is this bizzaro mess I’m still not sure what the fuck happened but I think it does need XC1 and 2 background knowledge

      XCFR retains XC3 heavy reliance on the previous games, but cranked up to levels that makes the Star Wars sequels seem almost reasonable
