10 Video Games You Play For Hours And STAY A Beginner

10. Tunic

When looking at Tunic, you wouldn't be wrong for thinking it looks like a nice, cosy adventure game. But you will have a rude awakening when you start playing it, as you'll instantly be left thinking, "Um, what the hell am I supposed to do?"

Tunic has an ingenious approach to gameplay as it relies heavily on the player to figure things out for themselves. It invites you to explore and experiment, with no button prompts telling you to "jump" or "hit this," no marker telling you where to go, and no signposting.

You figure the game out by translating old gaming instruction manuals that help you discover the controls organically. It takes some time, but piecing the world's lore and the mechanics together is infinitely rewarding.

Of course, this leads to a lengthy period (which never truly ends) where you feel like you're stumbling around in the dark, trying to figure out what to do. Ultimately, the more you play the game, the more Eureka moments you'll have, but there's a sense even deep into the game that there's plenty you don't know.
