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.

There's definitely a lot of challenges in games that seem uninteresting from the outset, like "Oh; take pictures of all 30 dolls? That's boring." But, when there's some kind of cosmetic reward for it, it can push players into the challenge, and sometimes find out it's actually fun and satisfying to do.

Some people have been burned on thoughtless collectathon design, so it makes sense people often ignore them.
