GT7 PSVR2 N24 24h endurance race!

Here's a bit passing a lapped car (AI needs much faster cars to be competitive lol)



It's an experience!

It depends on when you started gaming and what genres you like. I'd say Super Mario Brothers 3, but I wouldn't suggest that to someone who started gaming in 2010 or something, or someone who didn't really like 2D side-scrolling platformers.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

I'd also throw in Breath of the Wild, as I just find it one of the most pure and wondrous experiences one can have within the medium in just how dynamic and alive it is, how much freedom it gives you, and just the sense of adventure and discovery.

Actually, I change my answer to that: Breath of the Wild.
Mostly because I think just about everyone can enjoy it... I'm sure there are a portion who wouldn't (mainly collector/OCD types who have to collect EVERYthing in this astonishingly massive game, and who find it difficult to tolerate weapons breaking... I think Breath of the Wild might be a bit of a nightmare, then).

I think Tetris is the most pure example of what a videogame is. Accessible to nearly everyone.

Stardew Valley. It can often be a peaceful game with something for everyone. Honorable mention to Animal Crossing: New Horizons if people can tolerate the real-time nature.

Very hard call… but I’d have to go with either Super Mario 64 or The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask.

I'm so unsure how those games (and Ocarina of Time) have aged for me, so I don't know yet if I'd recommend them at this point.
Majora's Mask is my favorite Zelda game. But after watching streamers play it, and seeing just how close they were to messing up the first day and having to start all over, I can see how it's not for everyone. Since it can be really tedious for people who aren't quite as used to playing those kind of games.

Probably Super Mario Bros. since the game was so good that it saved the industry from the crash.
