Outer Wilds, to my estranged family. I think they could use a new religion and that game's probably a better place to start.

I'd give the Pope a copy of undertale

Thomas was alone. I’d give it to literally anyone. Imagine a game that makes you cry about a rectangle.

I have ruined lives gifting Factorio.

I would gift furry hitler 2 dating simulator to your grandma

Journey, for something simple but touching for others who feel a bit isolated and adrift.

I would gift Overcooked to my friends (married with 2 kids) because they are a family of foodies.

I would give Wing Commander to Chris Roberts and remind him of what an actual "game" is, since it seems he forgot.

After finishing The Last Of Us 2, I spent a lot of energy being sad about all the people in my life who don't play games. They'll never have that experience, and I found that somewhat upsetting. There's no other way to live that story, and I wish l could give it to just everyone, and have them actually play and enjoy it.

Probably Celeste to anyone that has anxiety. I know it's probably not the most profound representation of anxiety, but it's a nice little game, it's nice to feel seen and there's a chance that some of the stuff in it will help.

Gifting someone a f2p game kinda sounds like a dick move imo

I'd give deltarune to the pope

Assuming that the premise is, they will actually magically play it even if they would usually go "Oh...nice...", I would give Sky: Children of Light to a former classmate who was (haven't talked to him in 6 years) the sort to throw his controller when he lost particularly bad in Call of Duty.

Sky is kinda like Journey (made by the same developer as well), but with an increased multiplayer- and social experience, to keep it short.
