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?
Pretty much any “adventure game.” Myst, Riven, Exile, Outer Wilds, Obra Dinn, etc. Also some puzzle games like The Witness or Portal.
The gameplay loop of adventure games is to figure out how to play the game and what you’re supposed to accomplish. Looking up how to play them is like reading the answer to a riddle before trying to solve it.
