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?

I can confirm that when you know “the thing” about KOTOR ahead of time, it ruins a lot of the magic.

Yeah, definitely. I’ve still managed to finish it some 20 times but going in blind the first time really contributed to me loving it so much.

I’d also argue you shouldn’t look too much into the sequel. Not because of any “thing” in particular but because it’s more fun to immerse yourself in the game and slowly begin to unveil all the major themes of its story.

Yeah, the sequel was much better for those reasons. You definitely can’t spoil it in a sentence like you can for the first game.

Could you spoil me on what that thing is? I played it forever ago and I won’t be playing it again.

The player character is the legendary sith lord that everyone keeps talking about throughout the game, but with amnesia.
