it depends. is this a person who you think is reasonably likely to immediately "get" games as a medium?

because my first thought was if you're talking about someone who has, like, gone their whole adult life without playing games because they're averse to platforming/combat/etc, then I'd start them with Life is Strange.

Also, Rhythm Heaven Fever.

for more traditional, maybe Final Fantasy X or Dragon Quest XI. And something like Galaxy or another 3D Mario game.

Actually stuff like Braid or Lumines could work too as simple puzzle games
