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.

I don't know if it's actually a mechanic but I love it when a game has instant restarts and generous checkpoints. Takes away a lot of the frustration and allows me to play on a higher difficulty and still enjoy my time with it.

This is definitely huge for me. Nothing quite as frustrating as watching an unskippable cutscene every time you die to a boss.

One of the few things i dislike about the dark souls games is the time between 0 hp and actually playing the game again
