Another opportunity to shout out my 2024 GOTY, Dread Delusion! I have so much love to gush for it. I wouldn’t say it “blows the mind” per se, but it knows what it is and executes it soundly. Give it a shot if you enjoy the sonder-type experience from a well-crafted storyline
Arco.
A recent and lesser known game - unique turn-based tactical combat, and a heart-wrenching story.
Ahh, I'd love to tell you, but it would spoil the surprise.
dishonoured 1 and 2.
If you're referring to being blind to the plot specifically (but not what style of game it is), then my list is:
- outer wilds
- hades
- disco elysium
The Walking Dead by Telltale.
That Dragon, Cancer turned me into a blubbering sobbing mess.
There's are so many spots in the game that could hit someone the hardest, and I know what mine was.
I'll also add The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky FC. I know there's a remake coming out next year, but there's a bunch of shady stuff surrounding how they're gonna localize it. (Supposedly, they're gonna use AI to try to do most of it and then have real people brush it up.)
So I'd recommend playing the original instead. It's a 2.5D game with a mostly 360° camera. It uses turn-based combat, but not traditional turn-based combat. And it has a great story.
It's also on sale for only US$9.99 on GOG (which is DRM-free) and Steam.
