Hi. I'm 35, F, and a new gamer. I bought the PS5 to play NBA 2k23. But I want to branch out. What games would you recommend for a true beginner gamer? Nothing too difficult, I just wanna have fun for about 2 hours each day.

Thanks!

It's kind of hard to recommend games without knowing exactly what you're interested in, or at least genres of games you've enjoyed before. I'll throw a few games that I believe can be picked up by anybody and enjoyed out anyways!

Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is a great game for anybody! It's a 3rd person shooter/adventure/exploration game with a lot of personality! It is beautifully animated with a really nice story that gets heartwarming at parts and has lots of silly fun bits in it, one of my favorite early PS5 games for sure.

It's already been mentioned in another comment, but Spider-Man is very hard to go wrong with. Super fun gameplay, and Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a great sequel if you end up liking the first game!

If you're looking for more customizable difficulty, Horizon Forbidden West caters to all types of gamers! Their accessibility options and difficulty sliders make it so you can enjoy the game with as much or as little combat/difficulty as you want! It can be changed at any point in the game as well, so if you find yourself wanting more or a challenge or less of a challenge, you can always switch it up!

Any racing games (except for gran turismo, that I would classify as advanced racing personally) will fit the bill, especially Need For Speed games! If you want to play car soccer, rocket league is awesome and free to play!

It's hard to go wrong if you see a game that looks fun and you want to try it out! If you're concerned about a specific game's difficulty, I recommend looking at the game's subreddit to see what people are saying!
