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?
There are people that have never played Halo 1 and don’t know anything about the story or what happens. They absolutely should not google anything or know anything other than it’s a great FPS as they play it.
