StaceyPowers Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 What games benefit most dramatically from going in blind, i.e. knowing next to nothing about what one is about to play? Outer Wilds is one of the best-known examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lens Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Going in blind is definitely what can enhance the gaming experience. Example of a game with this approach is Outer Wilds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennysplash Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Not knowing what to expect when you are about to play makes it all worthwhile. That is why I don’t like any form of spoilers for me. I want to figure it out myself as I play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Button Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 (edited) The games that benefit the most from going in blind are usually those ones with complex storylines and with the plot twists. The Last of Us Part II is an excellent example of that. Edited July 21 by Button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lens Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I know quite well that going in blind can enhance the gaming experience, especially for games like Bioshock, The Last of Us, or What Remains of Edith Finch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I'd say Red Dead Redemption 2 because what you'll experience will blow you away. It's a pity Rockstar never made lots of DLC for the single-player mode. There's so much content there that could be explored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game is so immersive world and the story is engaging as well. It's really a shame that Rockstar didn't release more DLC for the single-player mode.

killamch89 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 (edited) Totally! Red Dead Redemption 2 is phenomenal. It's surprising considering how much additional content GTA V Online received over the years. If they even gave RDR Online the same amount of attention regarding content, it'd be almost as big of a hit as GT 11 hours ago, Button said: Red Dead Redemption 2 is indeed an excellent choice.

Red Dead Redemption 2's single-player offers some kind of unparallel experience to me. but it's true that it hasn't actually received the same level of content support as GTA V Online.

Scorpion Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 I think Dark Souls also benefits from going in blind. The unexpected challenges and hidden secrets create an unforgettable experience.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
