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?

Morrowind.

I mean, it's a 22 year old game, but since you asked nicely... 🤷‍♂️

Seeing that silt strider just outside Seyda Neen after the intro to what looked like your run of the mill D&D style fantasy RPG was a surprise, to say the least...

... and it was just the beginning.

It's a real shame later Elder Scrolls games mostly lost that otherworldly feel.

What they did to The Summerset Isles in ESO is a crime against Auriel and the 9 divines. I was expecting mushroom houses, and they made rivendell.

I'm not salty and bitter. Bethesda is salty and bitter.

It's almost impossible to have not been bombarded with the main story and setting of Morrowind by this point. But when this game came out, it was an experience and a half. Unlike anything I had seen before at least. Sure, Ultima, TES 2, etc all existed. But none of them had never sold their world so effectively if you ask me.
