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?

    Ghost Trick

    Phoenix Wright (edit: as many people have said, yes sometimes you’ll need to look up a guide, but it is VERY easy to get spoiled so be careful looking up a specific character or for youtubers who spoil the case)

    The MISSING: J.J. Macfield and the Island of Memories

    Ib, Omori, Yume Nikki (all 3 of these games are kind of the same vein but still recommended)

    YOU and ME and HER: A Love Story (I havent actually played this one but its interesting and Its hard to bring up without spoiling it)

    Spark the Electric Jester (at least 2 and 3 if you just want a wtf reaction to the endings)

    Her Story.

    My wife and I played through it, and loved it. I wish I could go back and play it again for the first time. Wasn’t a fan of the sequel though, unfortunately.
