From misleading marketing to unexpected gameplay shifts, these games took us by surprise! Join us as we explore video games that weren’t what we expected them to be. Our list includes titles that shocked us with their genre-bending mechanics, surprising story twists, or features that differed dramatically from what was advertised. Which gaming surprise caught you off guard the most? We cover everything from Dead Island’s emotional trailer that misrepresented its gameplay, to Final Fantasy VII Remake’s bold narrative departures. We also examine how games like Doki Doki Literature Club deceived players with its cute facade, and how No Man’s Sky eventually redeemed itself after a disappointing launch. Share your biggest disappointments or pleasant surprises in the comments!
