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.

Boss fights that are synchronized to the music. Not too many I can think of off the top of my head right now though. There's Violette in One Step From Eden, and I guess you can count the final stage of Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion sorta loosely did this with the final minute transition.

Every fight in Hi-Fi Rush does this, and it’s really cool.

I really want to give Hi-Fi a shot, but I'm terrible at most rhythm games

It's one of the more forgiving ones, so it's worth a try if you are curious.

MGR Revengance put on a master class around this.

Not really a boss fight but probably my favorite moment from any video game is the shockwave level from Inside. The way the music gradually comes in is pure magic.
