Counter-Strike

Battlefront II and then Battlefront II

Portal.

...

Fester's Quest nes

Dark Souls.
It's the absolute minimum of skill that should be required.

as a 'how not to'?

Deus Ex.

Maiden Rape Assault: Violent Semen Inferno.

Unironically Dwarf Fortress. Not to beat, just understand the mechanics.

Game is still shit though.

Cuphead tutorial level

Just post your achievement history and if you don't have anything cool you aren't ready.

devil may cry 2. perfect crash course in what not to do.

Wasn't expecting this... Begs the question. Is it more important to designing to know what a good game is, or what a bad one is?

Silver Surfer

None because it's a retarded stipulation.

Dumb question, playing a single game won't teach you shit. It's important to not only play a large variety of different games but also spend time getting good at said games and doing challenge runs because that's when you will truly understand what works and what doesn't.

Correct answer: There isn't one

Super Metroid.

Gothic 2

Atlantis: the lost empire, the one for original playstation.

If you haven't finished at least 200 single player games you shouldn't be making or reviewing games

Spacechem
Or the entire Zachtronics catalog, being completely honest.
It's the ultimate brainlet filter.

Obviously Altered Beast.

Resident Evil Remake if you're a game designer.

Gameplay-wise DMC 2 was a step foward.
