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.

              Parrying/deflecting attacks. It's just so damn satisfying
Mass Effect's charge attack of the Vanguard class. It turns you into a projectile to punch the socks off an enemy while also recharging one's shield, so it incentivizes you to repeatedly fly in their faces followed by a point-blank headshot. Headbutting heavy mechs with a Krogan in ME3 multiplayer was great too
