The "first surprise" is why I tell people "Just play this game, and don't look up anything about it!".

The two games the article has pictures of games are IMO everyone who plays games should play; they are two of the best of all time.

I stopped reading when he started naming things in Outer Wilds. (Perhaps ironic, considering the title.)

What are the games you're recommending?

It is insane to me that they ask that question in the title of the article and then go on to spoil the big first surprise.

“How do we talk to people about these games without spoiling it for them? Oh, I know I will spoil it for everybody who reads this article!!!

Outer Wilds and Blue Prince
