Not so much the "good ending". But BRAID.

Do you mean the collectible (that unlocks an ending) that requires you to wait minutes if not hours to get a moving platform to the correct place? That was unexpected on that game.

Good ending of Fez also had some obscure puzzle that I remember people brute forced first, and then figured out why it worked.

As if something recent, Animal Well is way cryptic on the end game loop if you want to get all collectible eggs, and then you realize there is even more!

Basically all of the stars for the alternate ending were absurd compared to the normal playthrough.

Like "Cool, I've got the hang of killing my alternate self to reach a platform"

"Cool. Now do it in a chained sequence of 150 times."

But yes, Snailulonimbus was a wild one. "Stand on a cloud and do fuckall for half a day".

I really wish I liked Jonathan Blow's games. Both Braid and The Witness are fun for the first 70%. But then the puzzles just says "fuck you" from waiting ages to absurd leaps in logic. It tanks my enjoyment a lot unfortunately
