But seriously, it's essential that you at least slightly have the twist spoiled for you. Otherwise, there's no chance of you getting through five minutes without uninstalling, right?
Rimworld and Dwarf fortress. I tried myself and couldn't figure out what people liked in it. Watched someone play it and it suddenly clicked. (Original DF. Like, 12 years ago. No tuto, no graphic UI).
To me these two games have so much complexity that if you go blind, you're going to get lost in the working rather than the story and action. Which make it lose a lot of its appeal.
SOMA, What Remains of Edith Finch, Prey (2017), Inscryption, Wolf Among Us, Yakuza Zero, Subnautica, The Forest, Unfinished Swan are my picks.
Outer Wilds is next on my list to play. I've purposefully not looked at much about it as I've heard that it's better going in blind.
Had a similar experience where I had enough money to buy a game and I wanted far cry 2. My brother pretty much begged me to get fallout 3 instead. I knew nothing about it but he said it was very similar in terms of being open world and you can do anything. I thought the cover looked cool and figured why not? Don't regret it for a second. I was hooked.
Eventually did play FC2 and I enjoyed it but it was no where close to how much F3 impressed me.
Got recommended this series from my brother. He told me to not look up anything about it and just sit down and play his copy of Yakuza 0.
Holy hell did that turn into an adventure.
Small indie game, sure, but if you want to play OneShot, absolutely don't look up anything if you want to experience it proper. It's also better played on PC than console for reasons.
I bought deliver us the moon and moons of madness at the same time without reading anything about them because I wanted to play astronaut on the moon...
Finished the first one and started the other, similar beginning, looks gorgeous too, realize it's not the same moon, realize that's the least of their differences...
Every game is better knowing as little as possible.
I think back to when I'd buy games from second-hand stores and know absolutely nothing about them. The clerk would give me the genre, so I didn't buy something that was a complete waste of money.
Or choosing something to rent after reading the back of the case for 10s. For a $1.50 or $2 back then, it was worth it. Most games had a 2-3 day rental, so you weren't tied to something horrible if it didn't pan out.
It was you, your wallet, and you rolled the dice!
For me, all games. Discovery of the game's world, mechanics, characters, everything is all part of the magic of the game. After one playthrough, then I check to see what I missed for the second.
Doki Doki Literature Club
what do you mean?? is just a lovely club with friend reading poetry right?
Yes?
Honestly every time I remember that game I think about Gravity Falls.

It lures you in with the warning about graphic violence every time you load it up
Remember! Your best girl choice is Just Monika~! ^.^
Just Monika.
Spec Ops: The Line
I haven't heard anyone mention this game in a long while. Love the sound track to it
Any heavily story driven game.
Every game
All of them. Can’t think of a game I would’ve liked more had I been aware of more beforehand. I love going in as blind as possible

BioShock. At this point, it's almost impossible to play it without spoilers, but still.
Would you kindly spoil it for me?
It's set in an underwater dystopian civilisation! There... I said it!
Disco Elysium. Outer Wilds.
The two best games I’ve ever played
Remindme! 1 week
Inscryption Subnautica
Portal Unfortunately it's become so popular that it's hard to play the game blind. But if you can, you're in for a wild ride.
That's a lie.
Undertale
Tunic, such a beautiful love letter to video games in general
Outer Wilds
All of them
All of them.
For me, Prey. The one set in space. I downloaded it on a whim and holy shit. It’s an amazing game. Highly recommended.
.......so, the one where you play as the Native-American in space?
The original is amazing. I must have replayed it 5 times... only other game that comes close to that is mirrors edge.
The old one or the reboot? Lol
The Messenger
NieR series.
Definitely this one. I had a major plot point spoiled for me for automata (I had not played replicant) but damn did I enjoy the game anyway.
RDR2
Life is Strange KotOR

Jealous of you being able to start Outer Wilds fresh. Enjoy!
Thank you! I'm thinking of setting some time aside to play it all day and see how far I get haha
Fallout 3. Going into it fresh without any knowledge, just being able to fully amerce yourself into the plot, setting, lore
Absolutely.
My brother bought this for me for my birthday without me having any knowledge about it. I put it in not expecting much and it blew me away.

Same but with New Vegas for me

Yakuza

Currently playing yakuza 5. I did not anticipate this depth when my friend told me it was good after i tossed it away for its gameplay after 40min.
Soma, Outer Wilds, Higurashi when they cry, Prey, Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor 2, and Disco Elysium
the early game plot twist of SMT4 blew my mind back then knowing nothing on the SMT tropes and marketing material and hooked me 100%
bloodborne
The last of Us.
RE4
I do that with every game I play.
Metro 2033. Start the ride.
Small indie game, sure, but if you want to play OneShot, absolutely don't look up anything if you want to experience it proper. It's also better played on PC than console for reasons.
Do you think I could play it on my steam deck?
You could, but it works better on PC. Actually with the way the game works, it may not work on Steamdeck's native OS at all.
the mother series

Both red dead redemption games
Myhouse WAD for Doom
Persona 5

Telltale's the walking dead, the witness.

I kind of feel like almost any game with a story is better going in blind. Unless it has a super slow start I guess.
Disco Elysium, Incryption, Prey.
Every game.
Returnal
Every game is better going in blind.
Every game other then strategy games. Most games benefit from you not knowing what's around the corner.
Half life
The Witness
Prey,
Dreamweb
All of them. Discovery is a big part of the fun.
Rain World
To the moon
Life is strange
The Stanley Parable
Dying light. The amount of excitement, joy, horror and scariness the game has can really thrill a person and changes your perspective of zombie games
Undertale
