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?

There isn't a game that exists that isn't better going in knowing very little, if anything at all, about it. I don't even understand reading an entire guide or wiki about a game before you ever even load it up and play.

There are definitely plenty of games, especially those with harsh skill curves, that do benefit from knowing what you're getting yourself into.

  • games that heavily rely on external guides just to get started - often a weakness of the game, but sometimes the strengths are worth it.

Sometimes you need to know a bit about a game to know why it's worth playing
