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?

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

It’s good in a way that isn’t really expected - the only thing I can say without spoiling is it did something really different with things that had been there a long time.

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

It gets good by the end but yeah if you don’t mesh with it early on it can be hard to get into and want to finish it.

Yeah that happened to me. Never finished it and wonder why it’s so loved.

Yeah I didn’t really get it. I did play Everhood though and that was much better.
