What game mechanics do you enjoy or that surprised you when playing a game? I recently started playing Tunic and I love building out the "manual" for the game and getting hints on how to play.

All time favorite was the feral druid transformations back in the WoW days (Burning Crusade ish I think).

I loved turning into a cat, putting bleeds on some boss, turning into a elf form and popping off a revive/heal, going back to cat to DPS, maybe going bear to pick up and add or two as back up tank. Super fun.

Also flying around in bird form, picking herbs to make potions and just chatting with the guild mates on the headset was very relaxing.

Past that the flying mechanics from City of Heros/Villains were great and I compare any flight mechanics now to those then.

Have you tried Dragonflight? They seem to have added physics/inertia to the flight mechanic. I haven't played for like 15 years but am tempted to pull the trigger for that alone.
