Going into a game completely blind can be one of the most rewarding experiences in gaming. When you don’t know what to expect, every surprise is a new and exciting discovery.
A user asked the forum, “What’s the best game you went into completely blind, having no idea what it’s about?”
Here are some responses he got!
CONTROL
“No idea what it was about..what an amazing journey I went on.”
SLEEPING DOGS
“Game store clerk recommended the game to me, and I was unsure about it cause it’s not a renowned name like GTA with Rockstar, but the clerk was like, “Trust me, it’s good,” and so I bought it.”
INSCRYPTION
“Completely Blind? Inscryption, which is how you should get into this game. Saying almost anything about this game is a bit of a spoiler. Just play it, trust me.”
OUTERWILDS
“I knew the basics about it (space/planetary exploration) but had no idea about anything else. It’s 100% a game designed to go in blind. Discovering everything about the game was so much fun. The journey was better than the destination, although the satisfaction of reaching the goal and the post-destination scene was fantastic and cathartic. If I could wipe my brain and replay it, I 100% would.”
PREY
“All I knew about Prey (2017) was that it wasn’t related to Prey (2006) or even to the ancient 90’s forever-stuck-in-development-hell original Prey. It’s one of my favorite games of the past decade.”
JADE EMPIRE
“Came with the original Xbox my dad repurchased me in 2005. By the cover’s look, I thought it was a 2D fighter, and I’m not the biggest fan of those. It was an excellent RPG that introduced me to Prime Bioware.”
BIOSHOCK
“Bioshock, such a fantastic game, and the sequel was equally good.”
SUBNAUTICA
“Subnautica, now it’s easily in my top 5 games. And I think a lot of it was because I went into it blind. It’s so well-paced and beautiful. Hostile depths, gorgeous reefs, and fauna in shallows. No stressors that force you anywhere. Just logs, lore, and exploration. For some reason, I am a psychopath because this game is super chill and cozy to me, not this horror-fueled anxiety generator it is to what seems like most others. Love this game.”
HOLLOW KNIGHT
“My brother gifted it out of thin air, so I played it to be polite. It turned out to be quite the gem!.”
MASS EFFECT TRILOGY
“Played the Legendary Edition last year, and going into it all I knew was that it was super hyped during its initial release and that the ending was controversial, but I knew nothing about the story, characters, or gameplay.”
WITCHER 3
“Had heard good things but knew nothing about the Witcher story. I was blown away and have started reading the books.”
OBLIVION
“I had no idea what I was getting into. I was a teenager, and it was my first game for the Xbox 360. I was blown away, and it immediately became one of my favorite games.
GHOST OF TSUSHIMA
“I played Ghost of Tsushima only knowing it was supposedly a good samurai game. And I heard right, despite it being much different than I expected.”
ORI AND THE WILL OF THE WISPS
“I got the game as a birthday gift from a friend. I’d never heard of the game or series before that day, so I went in completely blind.
After completing the game, I loved it. The platforming mechanics jumping around with the different abilities and the exploration was amazing. Not to mention, the story was also pretty good. It wasn’t too hard or too easy either. It was challenging enough to try again and have fun but not easy enough to be boring.”
KOTOR
“I was around 12-13, and my uncle from overseas was visiting and said he would get me a gift. We were walking around at an electronics store, and I picked KOTOR because the box art looked cool. That ignited my passion for CRPGs, RPGs, and Star Wars in general.”
DETROIT BECOME HUMAN
“I never paid much attention to this game as it didn’t seem like my type. I downloaded it yesterday afternoon, began playing it, and completed it last night.”
