What games would you recommend for someone “new” to gaming?

Okey, so I want your recommendations on what games I should play! I haven’t really played that many games by myself, but a lot of games with someone close to me! So I would say I’m not that good :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Love games with a wonderful story, intriguing characters, amazing music and fun gameplay! I’m also open to games that are just fun and easygoing. Big fan of jrpg’s 💗 And I’m not afraid of trying a difficult game, I would love the challenge!

Oh, and games playable on switch & PS4/PS5!

Love to hear what you have to recommend! :goog_geek:

Also, I think Crosscode fits pretty much everything in your description, if you don't mind the 2D visuals




Its on pretty much every platform too, so that helps

I recommend octopath traveler and dragon quest XI for more serious RPG. Pokemon mystery dungeon DX, Cat's quest 1 and 2, Paper Mario Origami King for more light hearted games. All on the switch.

It looks cute, is simple, super fun and not too long. (as for your points, it doesn't hit any of them :messenger_tears_of_joy: )


As for JRPGs, Ni No Kuni should be good for beginners..
 

Speedwagon

Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.

I would say Pokemon is right up your alley. But I would recommend one of the 3DS games, instead of the Switch games. X, Y, Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, (Ultra) Sun/Moon. Can't go wrong there.

Steamworld Dig 2 - Only game I have ever thought deserving of close to a perfect score.

Immortals Fenyx Rising- One of the few open Worlds who got it right.

Spider-Man for PS4/5. Great story and gameplay, lots of stuff to do outside of combat, and if for some reason it's too difficult you can put it on easy/friendly mode and breeze through

Luigi's Mansion 3: another title that I feel hits all of the notes you're looking for
