For puzzles, absolutely unpacking, also have seen similar friends put time into that remodel game that escapes me right now. House Fixer maybe?
It is more action, but I have had success during covid with family who was trapped at home by introducing them to Mass Effect (on story mode, the easiest setting). The story is so engrossing through the three games that they overlooked the action. If she likes big stories, I would suggest that. On keyboard and mouse it’s not the most confusing game either, pretty simple.
If you were thinking Factorio but want to do it together, check out Satisfactory. It’s a 1st person version of it that supports multiplayer, and you could set up a dedicated server. (I’m biased though, I have over 2000 hours in it and I am a mod of !satisfactory). Satisfactory is definitely less intimidating than factorio for newbies to the factory building environment, and there’s a creative factor in there too.
I’ve also had luck with people giving them portal. Portal is a great game to introduce them to not anction gameplay but helps them learn movement controls. Honestly out of the three I suggested maybe portal first and go from there. Would introduce movement, a weapon, and the second has a pretty strong story.
For anything else, what are her interests, what does she do for a living? Maybe we can put forward some more.
One of my buddies got metal gear for PlayStation when it was first released. I remember marvelling at the way that the enemies reacted to the footsteps and noises you made splashing through puddles. It was just something we had never experienced before. So much tension just trying to get through that first area to the elevator. And the cyborg ninja? Get outta here so fucking cool!
Metal Gear is a series that will turn on a dime from being deathly serious into breaking the fourth wall for a joke or gameplay reasons. They're amazing.
I'd recommend playing them in release order. You can skip the MSX games and go right to Metal Gear Solid, but these games do build on each other. MGSV is probably the best-playing game in the series, but it has the least of the story bits that the series is known for.
Both have such a huge library of fantastic games. In my opinion, the best libraries overall of any generation of video games. I think they existed during an era of video game development where there the market had not fully digested what a commodity video games could be, so there was space for a lot of experimentation and discovery. Off the top of my head, the SNES has…
Donkey Kong Countries 1, 2, and 3
Final Fantasies 4, 5, and 6
Super Mario World
Yoshi’s Island
Super Metroid
F-Zero
Star Fox
Mega Man 7
Mega Man X, X2, and X3
Breath of Fire 1 and 2
Rock and Roll Racing
Earthbound
Secret of Mana (and sequels if in this hypothetical we’re not being region-locked)
Secret of Evermore
Terranigma
Skyblazer
Hook
Street Fighter 2 (and others)
Final Fight 1, 2, and 3
Killer Instinct
Super Mario RPG
Joe and Mac 1 and 2
Soul Blazer
Chrono Trigger
Zelda: A Link to the Past
Mario Kart
Shadowrun
Demon’s Crest
Super Ghouls and Ghosts
Castlevania Dracula X
Super Castlevania 4
Mortal Kombats 1, 2, and 3
Illusion of Gaia
Dragon Quests
Star Ocean
Lufia
Front Mission
7th Saga
Ogre Battle
Harvest Moon
Tales of Phantasia
… I’ll leave it there, but the list goes on, the SNES has a library that is burgeoning with bangers. The PSX is, too, but I feel hesitant to ruin the comments page with another list.
Seems like one to be wary of reviews for. At each publication, the person who enjoyed part 1 will be excitedly picking up this job, while anyone who disliked part 1 will be passing. I guess the main benefit is it matches the audience; if you didn’t like part 1, reviews won’t convince you this is worth it.
On balance, I like that they’re deviating from the original. I dislike that the main deviation is padding it into 3 games.
Would have to be either the switch for Mario Kart, Super Smash and Nintendo sports when family is visiting or PS3 for FIFA World Cup 2010 when the lads are visiting. I suspect the switch would age better, though 2010 World Cup is an absolute gem.
I don’t think the single player game selection matters that much as it would grow stale with time anyway.
Free Stars: The Ur-Quan Masters has an excellent story and wordbuilding, and you can talk to all kinds of weird aliens. If you don’t like the ship combat, you can set up the game’s AI to fight for you.
To the Moon has a great story that I still think about to this day. Not much game there, just a few easy puzzles sprinkled in the narrative. But worth it for the story and how it is told.
The second one is also a masterpiece! The only FMV game that actually doesn’t suck!
And for anyone who wants to play part 3 read the guide to get it to run smoothly on the gog forum. Believe me, you don’t want to play it without the guide.
