If only speaking from personal experience, many games nowadays have an almost implicit requirement to search up a “before I play” guide or a “beginner recommendations”. If nothing else, many people want to Google “missables”, to ensure that they can fully experience a game.
What is your recommended game that requires nothing but the player to be in the moment and enjoy the experience?
A lot of im sims but Prey comes to mind first. Ik it’s basically a meme how often it gets called underrated but I swear that game has one of the highest satisfaction ceilings I’ve ever experienced. It’s almost a sandbox game with how many viable options there are and it makes every encounter feel like playing a puzzle game where everyone’s agreed to cheat, made all the more fulfilling when you’re coming up with the solutions on your own
