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.

Two things:

Anything that fleshes out "bard classes" (bonus points if you have grest freedom in how you play music). I don't want to be a mage who, instead of fireballs that deal damage, shoots music notes that deal damage. Shoutout to the Entertainer class in Star Wars Galaxies and the ukulele magic in Tchia for getting it right.

High degree of freedom spellcasting. Right now, only Magicka comes to my mind, who really excelled in this. Fictorum also has a pretty awesome spell shaping system, but it limits you to a specific spell loadout that is hard to switch in the heat of combat.

The hunting horn in monster hunter does this pretty well.
