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?
Red Dead Redemption 2. I had the biggest spoiler just a few days into the game as I was barely into chapter two. I still haven’t made it to that part years later because I know what’s coming.
