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.

1·1 month ago- Mothership, great pulp scifi horror that works for one shots or long campaigns.
- Blades in the Dark, think oceans 11, or peaky blinders but haunted Victorian London.
- Slugblaster, angsty teens traveling to other dimensions to skate and tag.
- Numenera, billions of years in the future on earth. Medieval societies with tons of weird science so advanced its magic
- Draw Steel, classic tactical mini based heroic fantasy. An evolution from D&D
