I would recommend NieR: Replicant, but it would come with qualifications. It is a video game that is specifically aimed at people who play a lot of video games.

NieR: Replicant ver.1.22474487139 (it's the square root of 1.5; this is a math joke) is the remastered version of NieR, a cult favorite action-RPG from 2010. The production values have been bumped up, more quests have been added, and a lot of content that was cut from the original release has been replaced.

It's the best possible version of itself, created under the creative direction of Yoko Taro, one of the most famous eccentrics in modern video games.

Replicant starts very low, as the most generic possible example of its genre and style. It makes you have certain expectations about its plot, world, and even its basic mechanics, so that it can subvert them more effectively.
