It's easy to feel a touch jaded in video games these days, especially if you've been playing them for a while, and especially in triple-A, where risk aversion is such that the tried-and-true is often prioritised over the innovative. So for those of us on the hunt for something fresh, tell us: what's the last game you played that really, truly surprised you?
The nature of the surprise is open to discussion, but the bigger and more profound, the better. A bold new mechanic, a story-altering twist you genuinely didn't see coming, an entirely new approach to genre - something more than a simple jump scare. Tell us the game and tell us as much as you can about the surprise, but hide true spoilers behind the spoiler tag. We want substantial, thoughtful answers to this one, so there's a minimum word count of 100 words.
