When I play games, I like to do it just about as blind as possible. This does not mean that I tie a blindfold across my face or gouge out my eyes or anything—after all, simply taking off my glasses would function well enough—but rather that I like to know very little about any game before I start playing it. Pristinely unspoiled. Absolutely no clue what I’m getting myself into besides vague notions of “well, I heard it’s really good” and “it’s, like, a Metroidvania, I think?” To me, this is the most ideal way to play anything, giving the game the opportunity to surprise you at every moment.
Unfortunately, as is true with every topic, it would seem that not everybody agrees with me.
