I think Portal is also a good starting game. If you go with Minecraft, I suggest playing the Java version instead of the money-trap Windows store version.

Remember when saying that games name was enough to award you several thousand likes? I wonder what my total would be without them lol. It bugged me so much I started editing the word out of my own posts. Hence I can't say it now... Mindcrap is as close as I can get

Forza Horizon 5. Drive around in a huge array of cars, modify the cars if you want, compete against others/AI, do stunts, listen to music, earn more cars and tracks, spin some wheels, take photos and find secrets on a large playground map for you to enjoy. Incredibly easy game (the tutorial gently (+- a paint job) puts you into the world) to get into and you can find a difficulty setting that you like and go from there.

I'm tempted to say Outer Wilds, but I really worry that we are the worst group to ask this question.
I say Outer Wilds because it's short, cute, actually expects you to die many times, and does some great storytelling. Anyone thinking games are all "pew pew!" and no story will get a very pleasant surprise.
The reason I worry about us giving advice comes from the lingo and conventions. There are all these gaming conventions out there that could get in the way for a new player while somebody like me won't even notice them. None are even remotely hard to learn, so a new player with a seasoned player watching alongside will also breeze right through them, but somebody going in alone is going to have a rougher time. I don't even see them anymore, so I'm going to have no clue if they are headed for a little speed bump or a brick wall.
