We grabbed Mass Effect and the HD texture packs from Nexus Mods. My wife just finished going through all three together—it was her first time, and she really enjoyed it! For XCOM 2, you need to add several mods from the Steam Workshop to enhance the experience. These small tweaks should match what was originally intended. Otherwise, most of the tips are solid advice.
Beamng.drive isn't enjoyable without modifications, though that's my opinion.
I believe Stardew Valley could be a bit too much for my taste as a newcomer. For Tomb Raider, it seems like a solid pick but I’m not great at shooters—maybe skip Borderlands or CoD at first. I played Portal 2 on my family’s PS3 and really enjoyed it, so maybe I’ll give the prequel a twist I don’t fully understand. I’m also planning to add some mods for XCOM 2. What is the Beaming drive? Thanks for the quick replies so far.
Check out Life is Strange—it’s a captivating story rather than a game, and it’s truly impressive. The first episode is free on Steam! If that doesn’t fit your taste, explore Sleeping Dogs. It offers a better narrative than GTA V, with exciting combat and gameplay. The original Dishonored was entertaining, and the Mirror's Edge catalyst is stunningly beautiful and enjoyable. Also worth a look is 80 Days—it’s a fresh take on Around the World in 80 Days, set in a steampunk future.
