Seriously though.

Minecraft is a perfect entry point for someone who never played. Figuring out the virtual world at your own pace.

Also recommend to play on Peaceful difficulty first - just to get some bearings.

Minecraft is simple, doesn’t expect you to have any prior knowledge of gaming whatsoever (literally teaches you to walk and directs you through the gameplay at first), and is a world simplistic enough for you to understand the logic of at first sight.

No wonder modern kids often start out their gaming careers with it.
