I usually buy games I think I'll like, so I have at least some limited knowledge on it which makes it hard for games to surprise me too much in that sense, it happened a lot when I was young and had no internet, but I'll list one from the HD era.

Terraria

I got it on PS3 because it was so cheap, so why not.

Went into it thinking it was just 2D Minecraft as I heard before, which is partially true, but it was so, so much more.

I still remember when the first boss showed up, after a crypt message popped up out of the blue when I was digging. I was not ready for it, I didn't even know the game had bosses, but I loved it, and the more I played the game the more I discovered how much content it had, it's insane, the progression is great and it feels like you never stops discovering stuff, was easily over 150 hours in just a few days of playing it.

I too have it on PS3 and in Steam but I could never get into it, I have tried at least a few times. Maybe some day.

Definitely play the Steam version if you ever do, as the PS3 stopped being updated many years ago.

Did you get far enough to fight any boss? There is so much to do on that game.
