Great video as always. I think that some of this can be summed up by saying that the twist can't be obvious, and that it has to be "earned." But what the heck "earning" the twist means is actually spelled out really effectively by Yahtz.
I thought the twist of 12 Minutes was fucking badass personally, any game that has the guts to go there earns my respect for sure.
I'm honestly excited for the remake of Silent Hill 2
Cautious optimism is warranted. The Medium and Layers of Fear weren't without their good points, but they weren't flawless either, and SH2 has a massive history. Pressure like that and the modern development landscape lays the groundwork for a lot of potential oopsies.
Inversion has one of my favorite twists, not the obvious one about the character the one person is trying to find(though that one is admittedly good as well) I mean the one about the Earth itself, genuinely did not see that coming.
