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?

      Oh man, this by a mile. This game is pure discovery, which means that 1) any spoiler is something you will never experience for yourself the first time, and 2) once completed, it has basically zero replay value. I am still mourning that second point.

    Any visual novel -esque game. Danganronpa, Zero Escape, AI: the Somnium Files, Ace Attorney, Ghost Trick, etc.

    Man, I remember trying to look up how old a character in Ghost Trick was and getting slammed with spoilers by those google images that always show up whenever you search anything.

    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)

    Control, I had no idea of anything about it other than it was free on PS+ the atmosphere is gripping from the first second and then it just keeps getting better.
