factorio

show them what happens if they let even one human loose on their planet

Depression Quest.

Tetris

someone had to do it

Gothic or Stalker SoC or CoP. My all time favourites. BotW is a candidate to the list but I'm still not sure.

Spyro 2

SMB.

It's the only correct option. The controls and shit are simple enough that a species that never developed games on their own can get the idea, it's challenging, it still holds up as fun to this day, and it is a great place to start.

Spyro. Colourful and well made environments, simple mechanics, able to appeal to any age group, plenty to see, plenty to do.

...

I feel like aliens would get neurotic as fuck about faggy shit like collectibles. Kane & Lynch 2 is high-octane without the annoying garbage that plagues most games.

Gotta be super mario bros

Hopefully it gives them ideas.

Dark Souls

>dwarf fortress

You know, just in case they want to try anything.

Tetris or Super Metroid

Tetris
>Objectively a perfect game
>No need to learn human culture to see the context of the game
>Perfect difficulty curve
>Tertominoes are a concept that can be fully realized by a species the went on its geometric understanding phase
>Captures the simple essence on why we play games

Super Metroid
>One of the few games that can compare to Tetris' objective perfection
>Relies heavily to the intelligence and creativity of the player
>Encourages to finish the game as efficient as possible which captures the creative experimental capabilities of humans
>Likely shows how we would handle a galactic-tier catastrophes by being at our peak
>Reminds them that we can acknowledge that extraterrestrial life can exist theoretically and are smart enough not to base the most iconic enemies on the being here creating an alien aesthetic to it
>Shows how we value efficiency and completeness

nice

You done fucked up now

Wc3, I was going to say starcraft but that could be racist 5o an ayyy lmao

Tetris

Man Hunt 2

They said game.

Try again.

came here to post manhunt

Probably Minecraft. It's a pretty open and revolutionary game.

If they find that too complex then a Mario platformer

Super metroid has shit tier boss fights so it's not perfect like that

To be honest, it's the best choice. Shows they should fear us and fuck off while they still can.

Space Invaders

EDF 4.1

manhunt is honest
its raw human nature in its purest form
we are destructive to ourselves, everyone, and everything around us
nothing is valued more than ego

undertale
good enough for the pope
