Ori and the Blind Forest was that game for me this gen. I went in thinking just another Metroid/Vania game and walked away saying this is one of the best 2d side scrollers i ever played.
FF7 was another, i had low expectations playing it especally at its slow start and the poor visual quality of the game back in the PS1 days. The game was that good i went out and brought the Original copy of the game for my PS1. Cost me over $150.
