Okay so work with me a little here. You’ve just been tasked with recommending a game to someone who’s got very little experience with gaming.
Maybe they’re a kid who’s just starting out, or maybe they’ve just never had much interest in videogames.
What one game are you giving to them to show what videogames can be
The Portal games. They show how games can build alternative realities in a fundamentally more tangible way than other mediums while not assuming previous experience with games.
