In the spirit of if you watch X backwards it's about Y, let's try some games!
Obviously, there are going to be a lot of common elements in similar games (shooters will be mostly the same as Rambo, which, backwards, is about a muscular man going around reviving people by sucking bullets out of them with his magical healing gun).
If you play Skyrim backwards, it's the story of an epic hero pissing off as many people in Skyrim as he can in order to ruin his legendary reputation, in order to live a peaceful life of obscurity after he's finally captured in Helgen after an eerily-coincidental dragon attack and exiled from Skyrim on a cart.
If you play Left 4 Dead 1/2, it's about four people arriving into an abandoned area and raising thousands and thousands of zombies.
