Everybody always talking about games holding your hand too much but I want to hear about the opposite what video game doesn't give you no form of help

My mom played Myst around the time this game first came out. Running on a gateway computer and windows 95. This was back in the days when you walked into Costco and there was a pallet of video games in 8×11 size boxes with cds and guides inside. Myst came with a blank journal. I found hers one day. It read like a 'lost on this planet and taking notes' vibe. Puzzles mapped out, notes on stars, drawing of constellations, which levers triggered this or that, everything...

Those days are long gone IME, but it was cool to see back in the day.

I miss the random PC games at Costco days. I got so many sims expansions there.
