If you can only recommend one game to a person who has never gamed before, what would it be?

If you can only recommend one game to a person who has never gamed before, what would it be? Say you don’t know anything about their tastes/interests.

I'd probably start them off with something light like one of the Mario games. Mario Kart, Mario Party or something like that because I feel those games are a bit more forgiving to beginners and they'll usually enjoy playing it even though they've probably never gamed before.

I agree.  I started off playing Mario games when I first started gaming.  I actually have fond memories of playing Mario Kart with my brothers when we're kids.  Fun times!

If I had to choose just one game for a beginner, I would go with something like Portal. it's very accessible and easy to understand as well.

Stardew Valley is super easy to pick up, even if you’re new to holding the controller or you’ve never played a game before.

I’d recommend **The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild**. Its exploration, simplicity, and beauty make it appealing for anyone..
