In the spirit of if you watch X backwards it's about Y, let's try some games!

Obviously, there are going to be a lot of common elements in similar games (shooters will be mostly the same as Rambo, which, backwards, is about a muscular man going around reviving people by sucking bullets out of them with his magical healing gun).

If you play Skyrim backwards, it's the story of an epic hero pissing off as many people in Skyrim as he can in order to ruin his legendary reputation, in order to live a peaceful life of obscurity after he's finally captured in Helgen after an eerily-coincidental dragon attack and exiled from Skyrim on a cart.

If you play Left 4 Dead 1/2, it's about four people arriving into an abandoned area and raising thousands and thousands of zombies.

I would totally play this. It's a game about the heroine allowing a goddess to rule the land, then she goes home spawning hundreds of fairies and healing random people. The game starts with the protagonist and the goddess puking tea.

If you play Assassins Creed 2 backwards, its about a guy starting the game by swearing, revives the Pope, gets out of Rome, jumps backwards on buildings, revives over 100 guards, goes back in his mother, and Desmond leaves the Animus 2.0 and goes back to Abstergo.
And then: Assassins Creed.

MORE SPOILERS AHEAD. He didn't kill the ..ing Pope. Which pisses me off so much, so stupid and illogical. Ezio spent 20 years (or more?) to kill that one particular person, he killed innocent guards (he could hear them talk stuff like "I'm gonna go back home to see my beloved wife and children"), a TOTALLY innocent messenger (ok, I'm not sure if he killed him or just stunned), dedicated all his life to kill this one person, who was particularly dangerous by the way... But no, but no, after 20 years he found out that killing him "won't bring his family back" and he backed down. S E R I O U S L Y ? ! (yes, I do rage over that ending, don't tell me that was logical, more like some morale for kids 'revenge is bad, don't hate' >_> I haven't played Brotherhood nor Revelations btw. I still despise that ending and I wonder why so few do)
