The Secret World MMO.. I did not expect it to be all that good.. but the themes, the conspiracies, the cutscenes that you are a part of, the mysteries, the ambience, the darkness, the insanity, the adventure, etc.. they sucked me in right away when I got started.

The Journey Down: Chapter One was one of the best games i ever played. Never expected that an indie of that kind would make me so pleased. I even played it twice!
And now, i am expecting Chapter Two to become bundled so that i can finish that great story.

Looks like it won't be that soon. xD

Really? I got kind of confused with the logic of that game, I think I didn't even finished Pt.1, however it did surprise me the depth of how much places you can go and people with whom you can interact with

Really. Both the main character's attitude and the music throughout the game won my attention and left me with a very pleasant feeling after the game's completion. The story ... yeah, it's 8/10 but still the whole concept is worth mentioning.

yeah i'll say the binding of isaac too.it looks crappy at first look but when you play it you'll surely get addicted

I usually don't get much surprised about games nowadays but these are a few that really made the day:
Battleblock Theater (it's pretty epic for a while)
Clive Barker's Jericho (played it on physical disc and bought it while it was on indiegala, the story is weird but gameplay is above average)
Eletronic Super Joy (tried it on a groupees event, very legit for a "super mario" style game)
Skyrim (only played it a few months ago and always saw it as over rated, I was wrong...)
The Sims 3 (only Sims 4 seems to be a "EA Game")
Little Inferno (for some reason I enjoyed this game a lot, the ending may be the reason)
9.03m (only found out later that this game was about the 2011 Japanese tsunami)
One Finger Death Punch (got it from a bundle and let it sleeping for a while, i felt regret for not trying it sooner)
Paranormal (I used to look at youtube videos for scary games and laugh but those games are actually scary!)
The Walking Dead (I have a cousin that used to play this a lot, for me it was too weird too play, 100% regret now)

If you do play it, you'll see what I mean. She has this push, telekinesis power that lets her stun almost EVERY enemy in the game when they get close to her. Giving you time to line up an up-close head shot. It's OP as OP gets.
She also has that "curved bullet, slow motion" ability like Angelina Jolie from the movie Wanted. Giving her the ability to control her bullet and hit like 3 people with one bullet. She is ridiculous. I pretty much solo'd the game as her alone (keeping everyone else back) bar the times the game made me change characters for plot.
Very fun.

Part of the thing about Skyrim (and Elder Scrolls games in general) is that they're just so well implemented. You can't really get a sense of how unbelievably good they are just by reading a feature list or seeing some screenshots; even if that gives you some idea, the core of what makes them great is how well-assembled every part is. It's just really clear that the people who make them know what makes a game fun.

I'm just bitter against that title. We often hear the "never plays the same way twice!" but the game ended up just having a list of haunted things and it just fires them at you randomly even from Day 1. I sorely wanted a 'haunted investigation' style game, particularly one that is procedural and has variance, but this game ended up being a cheap screamer affair.
Guh, grarh, blarfargle. All of my grumpus!

totally understand, got the same feel with dont starve where i was expecting something more fun to play and forget that the thing of that game is too don't starve after all, that's mostly why i most always avoid youtube videos before trying a game

This. Very underrated and overlooked game. I'm really not a fan of 3rd person shooters yet this one was awesome. Great story (especially dialogues between characters made it for me), fun gameplay and awesome boss fights. I thought this game is going to be borefest cover-shooter but after first mission I couldn't stop playing it.

The only qualm I had with that game was the back-asswards leveling system.
You are actually incentivized for trying to SKIP content without grinding; grinding ends up causing enemies to grow exponentially stronger and it just gets so dumb.

PC version is not as bad as the XBOX360 version but seriously, grinding ends up causing you more issues than if you just skip grinding (but then you end up missing stuff, sigh)

As far as XCOM, I never played the original so I had no expectations, but I just didn't think I'd like that type of game. But I ended up loving the crap out of it. The battles very quite intense when I started losing characters I'd developed for hours, especially when I'd have problems replacing a certain class.

I still need to play Enemy Within. I've heard it fixes a lot of issues with the base game, as well as adding a lot of great stuff. I have it on 360 and PC, but never seem to get around to it. Probably because I know it will suck up my time again.

Cook, Serve, Delicious!
I knew it was a popular game with good reviews and all, but it didn't look very interesting to me... and I WAS WRONG

Tiny and Bid Grandpas Lefover was surprisingly good with stylish graphics, amasing music and pretty interesting gameplay. Also Paper Sorcerer is very nice!

Tiny and Big was a huge surprise. I wanted to just get cards but found myself in an awesome game!

Defender's Quest: Valley of the Forgotten
From the screenshots, I wasn't expecting much from that game. But it turned out to be surprisingly good.

+1 For me was that sensation of perfection, even when I succeeded on a certain level but knew I could do better, I usually replayed every level until I was happy with the outcome.

Witcher - i know... But i never before played any RPG.
SpecOps the Line - good story, bit stupid gameplay.
Minecraft - i know... again... But i dig once and somehow can´t stop.
Euro truck sim 2 - Pretty boring conception but really catchy...
:D

I totally misunderstood what Papers, please was like, at first.
Thought those types of games weren't my cup of tea but was proved wrong: Letter Quest, Civilization, Saints Row titles.

Wait... if you thought it looked bad, why did you enter to win it? I mean, there are people who actually want games, so reducing their chances just to bolster your own game archive seems a bit... yeah.
I mean, it was great that it was a happy discovery for you, but still.

That's cool then. Some people just want whatever is going, cool to see you were actually interested in it (even if you had your doubts).
Although that "it's not illegal" remark is a cop-out. Legality isn't a reliable scale of what is (or isn't, in this case!) douchey.

This, I heard the game was on the bad/okish side but I really enjoyed it.

I bought The Last Remnant recently and honestly, I didn't know what to expect. After the first hour, I thought it was gonna be terrible. After actually playing through a few quests and reading up on it online, as it offered limIted tutorials, I found myself pleasantly surprised by how much this game appeals to me. It lacks as much control as other rpgs, but that just keeps you on your toes. There's an RNG involved which gives the feel of a fire emblem game, where even against the most incredible odds, you can still find a way to pull through and other times, you can end up being destroyed by a few weaker enemies. Your party members largely grow in different areas and act on their own with limited input from the player character, but by forcing situations for units to act in certain ways and by your limited input, you can potentially create an extremely powerful character. And even if you don't know what you're doing, they mostly level up and take care of themselves so you don't even have to do much. The music and environments are simply amazing, and the in battle music changes depending on how well your team is fighting, so that's pretty neat. The battle system is unique, but almost feels like a mix between ffxii, kotor, and tales of Symphonia. Depending on how you organize your team, you can make certain units specialize in different areas without the added input from your pc. The only thing this game is lacking in so far is story and characters unfortunately, but I haven't gotten too far yet, and it definitely has a lot of potential
