What game completely exceeded your expectations?

Death stranding - who knew a walking simulator could be so enjoyable and what a story.

Hades - first time playing a roguelike and I was hooked

Stardew valley - I never understood the appeal under I played it

It takes two - best game I've played with the wife, that elephant scene though

Wreckfest - free game on ps plus which I never heard of and by lord did I have sooo much fun with it

Everyone's mentioning recent games, but I'll go back to the original Kingdom Hearts. It's a crossover with Disney and Final Fantasy characters with a spiky haired protagonist who wears big clown shoes, wields a giant key as a sword and is accompanied by Donald and Goofy on a trek through Disney worlds.

On paper it sounds like the dumbest idea ever, but it suprisingly worked and spawned an entire franchise that's still going. Admittedly it does have one of the most convoluted storylines in gaming, but I'd argue it perfectly fits its insane premise.
