What 5 games would you recommend for the broadest possible sample of table top RPGs and story games? (lemmy.world)

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.

Fixed. It was super early and I'm not used to the formatting in these comments...

CoC or Delta Green use the basic roleplaying system, which i really love.
5e because I think it's the most user-friendly iteration of D&D and despite Hasbro being douches, I have a deep and abiding love for D&D.
MORKBORG because I'm not a huge fsn of any of the OSR gamrs I've tried but it seems like they should be included ss a rules-light option for newcomers to get their feet wet and I think it's the most fun out of those options
I haven't played Savage Worlds or Kids on Bikes, but they both seem like really good systems that wouldn't be hard to learn and look like a lot of fun. Also, they have mechanics the others don't so they're good from a variety standpoint.
