Okay so work with me a little here. You've just been tasked with recommending a game to someone who's got very little experience with gaming.

Maybe they're a kid who's just starting out, or maybe they've just never had much interest in videogames.

What one game are you giving to them to show what videogames can be

I've been thinking Cocoon would be a good candidate for that.

Super simple controls.
There is no fail state.
Figuring out the rules is part of the puzzle gameplay. As such, it also uses very few unwritten video game conventions.
The game pushes you towards the right solution, while making you feel smart for it.
No unprovoked violence.
The art style is gorgeous and, perhaps more importantly, unique.
