What game(s) this gen literally "shocked" you?

[Torillian]

Valkyria Chronicles: I was expecting something pretty good when it came out, but what I got was so much better than that

Flower: After recently playing flOw my expectations for this game were not that high, but they really pulled it together to be something beautiful.

Persona 4: It was surprising how much it improved upon 3 which was amazing when I played it but now looking back at all the changes in 4 I have a hard time seeing 3 as equal to or better than 4 objectively.
