For whatever reason I can't ask for suggestions in a video game subreddit so I figured I'd post here.

Did a full build for mother's day and hooked it up to her tv (mostly so I could more easily stream hockey and torrent movies for her). PC gaming has always been a critical part of my life and wanted to share it with mom. Since she's getting older (57) I figured it would be a bonding thing we could do that doesn't involve money or exercise. I wanted to do puzzle games like Outer Wilds, Chants of Sennaar, Baba is You, etc

I fear those may be too hard and frustrating. Any ideas on good starter games that can develop principles like moving your character and camera at the same time and stuff like that? I don't want answers like minesweeper, she's not tech illiterate just has no video game exposure. Anybody who tried to play games with their girlfriend should know the feel or knows Razbuten's video series.

r/fidelityinvestments and r/stocks have been great! I wanted to give a breakdown of my situation really quick and see opinions on if I am doing this adulting part right.

Income: 77k

Age: 25

Savings:

401k - 50% of 5% employer match, currently sitting at 13k, I contribute 10% right now

Roth IRA - looking to do the full annual contribution - I only started this year but I have 2k in now and am putting in 500$ per month until max, wish I started earlier though

Current Robinhood Brokerage - I currently sit at 59k, with most of it in VOO with other holdings in QQQ, gold, silver, and alphabet. I make contributions semi regularly buying dips in the market for 1-3k at a time.

Current bank account savings: 10k buffer for if life gets hard fast.

Debt:

Its all Student Loans

81k - parent plus w/ medium interest on PAYE plan - I did double consolidation to get my mom on PAYE, and while its a big number my monthly is low since its based on my moms income (400/mo). it also gets forgiven in 20 years or if my parent dies so the idea of apr or monthly payments gets skewed.

24k - PAYE w/ very low interest - I was thinking of paying them off outright but given that the interest rates on these loans are 2-4% I figured the money is better spent in the market. I have been doing minimum payments (200$/mo) Similarly gets forgiven in 20 years (but I have to pay taxes on the "gains" from forgiveness)

I am preparing myself for a house and car in my 40s which is why so much isn't in tax-advantaged accounts and I live with my mom to save and dump as much as I can to get over the 100k investment hurdle.

END:
If you have any thoughts, suggestions, or personal anecdotes you think would be helpful given my current standing I would be appreciative!

Did PC build for mom, need game suggestions
