I’ll be the first to say that everyone on the planet should play at least one mainline title of assassin’s creed, excluding the first one. If it were up to me I would have everyone play AC3 because it’s what brought me into the series.
Legend of Dragoon.
Chrono Trigger.
Goat.
Kingdom Come Deliverance.
Myst
That game shaped the puzzle/adventure genre in a way that no other game could. The game got several remasters, but the core gameplay has stayed the same for nearly 30 years.
The latest edition has some stunning graphics and allows for VR play. There really is nothing quite like a Cyan Worlds game.
God of war 2018 and ragnarok.
But it will impact you more if you know the original game stories.
Ocarina of Time.
Kenshi. Looks old as hell, but i do like a 60+ hr playthrough each year, also with mods in Skyrim it has to be played as well
Absolutely cannot take this post seriously when your example of absolute masterpiece is Assassin’s Creed
Pentiment.
please play Pentiment.
actual masterpiece. disco elysium and signalis people would all like Pentiment tbh.
There are a very limited number of games that would interest someone and their mother.
More because if you’re old enough to be playing games, your mother would be into retro NES classics.
On that note… Super Mario Bros 3.
It takes 2
1 sonic adventure

4 dying light
5 dead island
6 halo 1 2 3 odst reach
7 all God of wars
8 katawa shoujo

MGS 2. The messages and themes were so ahead of its time and are slapping hard now in the age of social media and AI. The game itself had to be delayed in 2001 for a few months because the final boss fight took place on the twin towers. It subverted so many expectations till the end, leaving us not knowing what to believe. It even spoke about memes before most of us even knew what that word meant.
The gameplay is incredible too. Tactical with solid mechanics. Was absurdly detailed to the levels of red dead 2, during the age of ps2. For example, ice would melt in real time. Plus it cements snake as one of the coolest characters ever.
Outer Wilds and Portal 2
