If someone was interested in understanding as much as possible what the world of TTRPGs and story games had to offer, which 5 games would you suggest they play first, and why?

Ideally this would include a broad array of mechanics, themes and settings.

Excellent list but Call of Cthulhu is tapping the same old vein of horror since the 80s and it doesn't carry the same weight. Delta Green is a very good update on the genre that has some really weird stuff to shock and amaze.

    Indeed, I am old enough to remember the time when delta green was just a COC sourcebook but it's a great take on COC. There is also a couple of modernized Chtulhu games, let alone non mythos horror games (Kult 😍😍😍)
