Which games blow your mind, but only if you know nothing about them in advance?

Best examples I can think of are:

Outer Wilds
Doki Doki Literature Club
The Stanley Parable

What are yours?

I bought it expecting like a Devil May Cry or maybe Souls... then the game started and I noped the hell out. It's weird and I did not like it at all.

If I remember right, the first couple minutes is like a top-down shoot-em-up, but it transitions into that Devil May Cry style pretty quickly

Not really, the out-of-combat movement was almost strictly 2D? And the first real fight did not teach me the controls in any way, I had no idea what was going on.

It’s a game that relies on shifting the gameplay mechanics based on where you are and what you’re doing. There are certainly 2.5D and top-down sections, but it’s a small part of the game overall.
