What's a good game you played with an awful tutorial? (beehaw.org)

Either it didn't teach you anything at all, or it taught you the most irrelevant parts of the game.

The game that comes to mind is Dark Souls. They teach you the bare bones of the controls and that's it.

Nothing about where to go, what stats to level up, ways to defeat specific enemies, what spells/elemental attacks to use, etc.

I had to Google a lot of things in the beginning.

    I still don't know what the fuck the intended use of Resistance is

    Elden ring was my first "souls like" game and it was also an open world game too. For a gamer who wasn't accustomed to these kinds of games, it was a totally different experience for me.

    Elden ring I think is still much more accessible for a newcomer. If you try Dark Souls 1, you'll realize that the difficulty of the game also learns pretty hard into more tedious aspects.

    Getting cursed in Dark Souls 1 means you're HP is capped to half until you find the cure, as an example.

    I always figured this was an intentional part of the design philosophy. The game lets players write and read one- or two-sentence strategy guides anywhere in the world. I took the hint and figured they wanted me to look up strategy guides.
