Life feels a little emptier after knowing that the first playthrough of a Knowledge-Based Game is gone forever.
--
Typically, games rely on skill-based challenges with strategic decision making in real time. Progress is tied to defeating enemies or overcoming physical obstacles.
But there's another way to progress, that's less about new tools and more about new ideas. Instead of obtaining an item or ability to interact with the world differently, the game reveals possibilities you didn't even know existed.

@Sir_Steven Месяц назад

The first game that came to my mind upon reading the title is Noita. Noita is a 2D roguelike where every pixel in the world is simulated. The game begins with you waking up in front of a cave entrance and there are some rocks that show you the basic controls. That's all the help the game gives you. At first it looks like your goal is to go down through all the levels until you reach the bottom, but if you decide to explore outside of the intended path, you quickly realize there is SO much more to the world then what first meets the eye. The game is all about exploration, experimentation and gathering knowledge. There's basically no meta progression, as everything can be obtained on your very first run if you know where to go and what to do. You don't become stronger because you played a lot and unlocked a bunch of stuff. You become stronger because you learned the world's secrets and intricacies. You understand spells and how to build powerful wands. You know the strenghts and weaknesses of the enemies you encounter. Once you know enough about the game, it goes from an extremely challenging roguelike to a wizard sandbox. In my opinion Noita is the textbook example of "Games that are Locked Behind Knowledge".

@Cyberian_Khatru 26 дней назад

I love how everytime I think I've know the limits of Noita, I discover a new lens to see the world through. Like, there's a case to be made for being able to beat a 33 orb boss without ever stepping into a holy mountain. You can play the game as a base builder, pixel art included. You can make all types of farms, you can make freakin fish engines. I am now convinced the limits of noita far surpass those of minecraft, but it's just not handholdy and a bit too unforgiving to break into mass appeal.

@niyo919 19 дней назад

@Random-oy7vk 18 дней назад

Im going to search it

@theresnothinghere1745 17 дней назад

I would argue Noita is fundementally different. Noita isn't built for a single player to explore and learn the world through natural exploration, not in the same vein that Outer wilds and Animal well (at least at the beggining) are. Noita is built for a community to do so. This is evident from how unlike Outerwilds and Animal well which frequently use level design to hint at mechanics, Noita doesn't infact many of Noita's secrets are so hidden you won't expect the average player to find them. That's because they aren't for the average player to find but for one of many players to do so and let the word of mouth spread through a community. Take for example the means to create Lively Concoction, there isn't a means to discover this at all except by trial and error. Something that could very well not happen in a noticable manner to lone player at all. Personally that's why I ended up disliking Noita and the latter end of Animal well compared to the other games. Even if I had searched out the community when I found them to get involved with the community scale puzzles, most of them had already been solved (though Noita still has a few ongoing ones) and I've missed out on the experience by the time I bought the game.

@@CosmicHours I think my favorite aspect of Tunic is how, through sheer experimentation, one could theoretically beat the entire game without collecting even a single page of the manual. In my own playthrough, I actually learned about the "Golden Cross" *significantly* earlier than the game expected, simply based on which manual pages I was _missing._ I did my best to avoid sequence breaking too hard, but as is the case in these kinds of games, once you learn the rules, you start to see the places you can apply it *everywhere.*

@asteria9963 14 дней назад

Glad you mentioned game literacy. There are still elitists who claim that "no hand-holding" is somehow a good thing. Then they end up making terrible games that are just a chore to play. It actually takes a lot of knowledge and skill to make a game that pulls it off well. More often than not, these phony devs don't understand that you still have to teach people with little to no game literacy how things work. The key lies in teaching the player without them being aware of it. If all you do is withhold information in an attempt tp appear cryptic, you're bad at designing video games.

A game that truly encapsulates the phrase "Knowledge is Power" is that of a game called *Noita* To keep it short, cuz I could go on gor an hour about this game, this game is a journey from feeling overwhelmed and scared, to coming closer to being a god than in any other game.

This really reminds me of my first time experiencing The Witness. There was no "game guide" or a person telling you the basics of each new mechanic. But instead, each new symbol you would come across which had its own rule would slowly reveal its mechanic through experimenting and studying what solved each puzzle. Soon the puzzles not only show you how to solve the game, but they give you a brand new perspective as a whole new part of the game is revealed.

@lunaspirit5445 10 дней назад

This feeling of learning knowledge that hasn't been directly taught to you and using it inside of different/unique scenarios is what I love about some MOBA games that I play. Im not one for competitive PVP/being the best but I do have a lot of fun learning characters and using them in the battles I come across. Anyone can press one of the three buttons whenever they see an enemy and win through reaction time but, it feels quite different when you use a skill that moves your character forward and wonder "Can I use this to get through a wall?". Sometimes moves will be classed as "teleport" and vice versa but there are ways to achieve similar effects with moves that aren't. Or, using a move meant to pull enemies towards you in the opposite direction to push them away in a dangerous situation. In my case I studied items and builds to make a mage/mid lane character work as an assassin/jungler in casual matches. Not as efficient but really fun to pull off.

God bless you for putting the list of games shown in the description.

One of my favorite examples of this is Prey 2017. A very important late-game item is quite literally on top of a shelf in the first room where you'd never actually care to look.

I'd like to give a mention to The Swapper, which is like, it's a level based puzzle game so it's not really open world or anything. And it does have locks in that you have to solve a number of puzzles to move on to the next area, but you do have to *travel* between levels, and at some point, you run out of levels you think you can reach. But you know where the rest are. You just have to figure out how to go... up. Doesn't tell you how you can possibly do that but it feels so awesome to learn what ends up becoming one of the most important techniques in the game just by experimentation.

Every time I've heard someone reccommend the game Oneshot, they emphasize that you shouldn't look up anything about it before playing to avoid spoiling yourself

Honestly, my gaming life is really just searching for those knowledge-based games, and regretting to have already finished the previous ones (Outer Wilds, Tunic,.. for instance)

@AssasinZorro Месяц назад

If you like games of this kind, I suggest you play through Antichamber (the are some items there, but the knowledge is the main thing) else Heart.Break() - it's a game that starts like a point'n'click adventure game with some frustrating elements, but later it turns out that the genre is different - it's closer to an immersive sim where there are multiple ways of doing the same thing and the more you know about the world, the closer you get to beginning a god

This was a beautiful video of a beautiful game.

22:58 - "spoilers in this genre are detrimental to the experience" 5 seconds later - plays the most hidden piece of sound in all of animal well. LoL. That all aside, these games are great, and I have to play more of them. I solved Tunic's big in-game puzzle in one try, and got the meta puzzle done... a ways after that. I still gotta play Rain World and Outer Wilds. Looks like they'll be great experiences.

The Witness is pretty much the epitome of knowledge-based games. You have explore different areas of the island you’re in, not to gather items or tools, but to learn the rules and mechanics of how each panel type works. The open world of The Witness is one of the most dense and well designed of any game I’ve played.

And with enough knowledge you can get the true ending in extremely short order!

This video perfectly encapsulates my feelings about games like these. Theres something truly magical about not knowing the bounds of something, and when you complete a game, it seems to become infinitely smaller, less but the same. I dont know how to finish this comment. Sorry

First of all, i really appreciate this channel. I think it is very underrated, but there is one thing that would make your videos Even more inzeresting for me. I really enjoy videos that are about the design of games or smth like that. I feel Your videos are more like a presentation about games that fit into one category, which is not Bad ofc, but FOR ME it would be more interesting if the topic would be „the beauty of not telling anything“ or „the problem of not telling anything“. So that its more about the games Design than about the game in generell. I Hope you get my point, that i would rather have a special focus in the topic instead of „just“ presenting games that fit into this category. Pls understand this as an improvement Suggestion, although i am totally aware of the fact, that this is only my feeling and at the end of the Day, you must enjoy this channel. But I still Hope that you consider my suggestion ❤.

All point and click adventures are knowledge gated essentially, where if ou know what to do it only takes an hour or two, and five times that when you play it for the first time. They don't have the procedural element and moving pieces for emergent gameplay so you can only really play them once, but that one time is usually all about figuring out you already have the "key". In Loom there is a really great moment when you figure out you have more magic available to you than you first throught, it feels pretty amazing.

@Javifaa 15 дней назад

I think La Mulana would fit here. Because a big part of the difficulty there (and the game is really hard) is just piecing together what the hell you are supposed to do.

I like tunic because you can reveal hidden knowledge intuitivelly, I found out know to level up before I found the manual page for it.

i gotta say, no other game series gives me that "idk whats happening but i will figure it out" more than the sokpop games they arent always great, but some are truly special i would reccomend *soko loco deluxe* , *bobo robot* , *helionaut* , *pyramida* and *kochu's dream* the most though

You may like 4x games or colony sim games where knowledge/understanding is king. Oxygen not included without using the wiki comes to mind right away.

someone else mentioned it but highly recommend Void Stranger for this kind of game, it is a sokoban puzzle game first so it not for everyone but if the gameplay clicks with you even a little its an amazing game

Wanted to save this for after I beat rain world but after 20 hours of smashing my head against a wall, finally getting through shadow citadel only to softlock on a spot on the bridge Ive lost all patience for the game. EDIT: Great video. Being relatively spoiler free was nice I got to vent and Was reminded about whats deeply fascinating about this game amd Im ready to give it another shot

@Lulink013 17 дней назад

I'm a little sad Toki Tori 2, The Witness and Fez were'nt featured in the video at all. They all are great examples. - Toki Tori 2 is a puzzle based metroidvania that, unlike Animal Well, never gives you new tools requiered for puzzles. You can only learn more about it's mechanics and then put them together in new brilliant solutions that were there all along. - The Witness is a game about learning it's own rules too. The deeper you go, the more kind of puzzles you'll be able to solve... And there's even a secret layer 2 to it! - Fez, I don't think needs an introduction. It's one of the first games of this kind where you start with the tool and learn more about it as you go. It also has a language to piece together if you are into that.
