What are your favorite "gotta go in blind" games?
What are your favorite "gotta go in blind" games?
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?
(please no spoilers)
You're viewing a single thread.
- Snatcher
- Policenauts
- King's Field (any of them, even Pilot Style)
- Halo 1-3 + ODST and Reach
- Yakuza 0
- Silent Hill 2 (the original, Enhanced Edition for PC is still the best way to experience SH2)
- Life is Strange (only the original game, completely ignore the fanbase, theyre all toxic)
- Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (too bad BioWare doesnt have a single good or competent writer anymore)
- NieR, both Gestalt and Automata
- Rule of Rose
- Dark Souls 1-3
- Elden Ring
- Kuon
- Armored Core (all of them, but the controls are hard to deal with before Nexus)
- Steel Battalion (only if you can find and afford the controller, otherwise dont bother)
I'm honestly not sure this applies to any of those games.
The Halo 1 and KOTOR twists do hit pretty hard if you somehow haven't been spoiled. KOTOR has one of my favorite reveal sequences ever with showing you how much foreshadowing you missed, and Halo's twist turns the game on its head.
You can only stuff about those games without having the twist or whatever spoiled. What Halo twist was it? I've finished it a few times and don't remember really. It was all about how open it was and the action, plus the multiplayer.
The twist is that >! Halo is a doomsday machine !<
yea and Halo Reach hits pretty hard if you don't know what to expect too
However, Reach's tagline was, "From the beginning, you know the end," so there was an expectation that everyone playing would know how it was going to pan out.
Someone hasn't played NieR!
That's true, it's on my list though! Waiting for a decent sale or bundle. (:
