things are about to get weird so beyond
your avant-garde welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
trippy video games before we begin we
publish new videos every day so be sure
to subscribe for more great content
number 10 proteus let’s start this off
with a game that does trippy in the tame
way odious takes place on a serene
island with colourful natural settings
and Wildlife’s
unlike most is not nearly all video
games there’s no real objective except
to explore the island the entire world
is a colorful cornucopia of pixelated
graphics with somber gets melted music
accompanying it this music changes when
the name was first person character is
near certain items in a cannibals stays
pass in a matter of minutes and seasons
change when heading towards an ominous
scattered white light the island is also
randomly generated with every new played
route so players never really have to
experience it the same way twice
number nine feel the magic X Y X X o
love making people do crazy things since
like forever right feel the magic starts
a guy trying to get noticed by a woman
he fell for at first sight joining the
super performance group the rubber
rabbits still do anything to be with her
in this case anything involved on
challenges in the form of insane
mini-games
fortunately the rub rabbits have the
perfect strategy rabbit
that’s right no matter if he faces the
herd of bulls a pack of scorpions a
swarm of bees or a giant snake or a damp
dress
you just gotta rub it number eight the
Stanley parable all of his co-workers
were gone what could it mean Stanley
decided to go to the meeting room
perhaps he had simply missed a memo
there’s an order to things like a top
ten list or a video game plot lines but
try telling that to Stanley as the sole
person left in his office and his
co-workers and Bosco missing Stanley
investigates this all could lead him to
a happy ending if he listens to what’s a
smooth voice narrator tells him the
catch is that Stanley and then by
extension the player doesn’t have to
listen and can decide to disobey the
wise storyteller you were supposed let
it go turn the controls off and leave
ranging from doing the opposite of what
the pencil pusher is told or just
waiting time Stanley potentially derail
in the story could even lead to shocking
moments and while we don’t condone our
narrator friends Lords lethal actions
one can only be pushed so far we’ll just
restart the game from the beginning
number seven some first
if there’s one game jar that would trek
through trippy territory kiss rhythm
danced thumper in that regard is no
different but that’s where the
similarities with its contemporaries
basically end
unlike frequency in its vibrant colors
licensed tracks and one-man band game
play thumper is a dark ride of rhythmic
violence literally on the path Lane it
stumps jumped or slammed to create hard
beats out of dystopian techno music
there’s little room for error either
made all the more difficult by the rave
lights hairpin curves and oh so many
tentacles all reveals at breakneck pace
number 6 eternal darkness sanity’s
Requiem after the murder of her
grandfather Alex takes it upon herself
to investigate his murder she finds the
tome of eternal degrees which teaches
her of how to use magic of course
there’s a catch as reading the tome
plays with a person’s grip on reality
this is where the sanity meter comes
into play and characters interact with
monsters but neither decreases which
causes insanity effects the LED drips
from the walls statues come alive and
characters blow up and that’s not even
counting when these sanity effects get
really meta and screw around with the
game’s mechanics and controllers the
sanity effects are only temporary but a
DZ for the characters to fool themselves
into thinking that this can’t be
happening can’t be happening number 5
psycho not my name starts with a Judy’s
Rasputin being trippy in the case of
this satirical platformer made
Psychonauts a critically beloved cult
hit taking place in a camp of young
psychics players are treated to a
compelling story with an on premise and
even stranger characters on the surface
the NPCs that the hero Raz has to
interact with look like those out of a
Tim Burton films
you want to come on getting as Raziq
sports the inside of some of their minds
he discovers hidden secrets in emotional
baggage and defiled conspiracies and no
not the one about the milkman one of
gaming’s hidden gems you’d have to be a
psycho not to love it you were born with
a special gift but the people around you
treat it like a curse number four space
giraffe
from Psychonauts to psychedelic this
space shooter takes Tempest inspired
gameplay and add to tone cerebral
scrambling touches playing as the
titular space giraffe the goal is to
shoot enemies and gain points oh forgot
to mention everything in the game is
trying to be as distracting as possible
from the strange levels to random sound
effects to the colourful wavy
backgrounds so this is I don’t know is
that a woman’s face weird even the
camera will play tricks on the player
like making it harder to find enemies
that are the same color as the levels
the game Stefan you can try to make any
sense but as long as the bad guys are
getting blown up then everything will be
giraffe tactic number 3 Reds as stated
before rhythm games can be pretty trippy
while Reds can be mistaken for one
instead it’s a rail shooter’ that makes
fresh techno music playing a hacker who
infiltrated the super network project
case every virus that you shoot at and
destroy emits a small riff of music the
visuals in these levels are diverse and
changing and newer viruses can vary in
size scope and shape as rail shooters
tend to focus on automatic movements the
hackers avatar gently floats along
through the level while shooting things
with lasers that come out of its body
with his updated re-releases HD and
infinite this before key song shooter
will resonate with players looking for
originality number 2 plasma pong
[Music]
there is absolutely no doubt in any
gamers mind that Ataris originals pong
is one of the architects of the
existence of video games but you know
times changed sometimes an old dog needs
to learn new tricks and the tricks that
plasma pong head up its sleeve are
nothing short of amazing the biggest
update is to its gameplay with the afro
mentions plasma the mysterious substance
flows like dust in the wind while going
in all manner of directions it can also
pull in or push out the ball from the
paddles and explode when a goal is
scores with the colors of the paddles
and the plasma changing constantly as
well as the gameplay and orchestral
score speeding up after every point this
pong spin off to save plasma class
[Music]
before we unveil our top pick here if
your honorable mentions
higher dumpin big boy
[Music]
yeah well number one LSD dream emulator
[Music]
unlike some of the other games on this
list LSD runs on premium-grade nightmare
fuel that’s not just a joke as the game
takes place in a dream world and is
partially inspired by the Ted Year dream
journal of creator Osamu Santos
co-worker Kido clinician tell us the
fact that the game is named after a well
known hallucinogenic drug meant that it
was already gonna be some highly
experimental stuff with the game’s
progression the stages get more
unsettling blending elements from other
stages and character models there’s also
the grey man who likes to stalk any
unfortunate soul who happens to be
dreaming at the time fortunately he’s
just a video game character probably do
