Questionable genres of games

The games of genres I simply don't really understand, how the game works. Not because the game is bad. It simply goes kinda advanced or thinking the other way around from different perspective, which I didn't figure it out. Some games have a problem with a newbie tutorials or have lack of a direction, that can confuse you. Or maybe just me.

Those games are:

SimCity

SimCity

I still can't figure it out, how the structure works. It made sounds simple, but I don't know how it works. Like the CITY, ROADS, PEOPLE, HOW TO GET A MONEY, etc,... I learned a little from game called: Cities: Skylines

RPG Maker MV

RPG Maker MV

I'm talking about the RPG games. Not the maker. First I didn't understand it the Final Fantasy, Zeliard games, because of lack of tutorial, unfriendly fast paced, don't know what to do (very old games). One game that teaches me everything is: Chrono Trigger Every MMORPG has the same problems with using classes. You can't use of period of time or at least have a freedom to use any of the weapons. When you choose this class, YOU HAVE TO STICK WITH IT, even if you don't like it. You have to create a WHOLE NEW CHARACTER CLASS and START ALL OVER AGAIN (grinding, story/quests, etc). Which is a real shame. The only rpg game that does not matter which class is: - Skyrim

Train Simulator 2019

Train Simulator 2019

Everything on SIMULATOR (driving, flight, etc,..). Because lack/weird tutorials and weird controls (you have to remap), how does this things works. It's like they trying to be realistic and be boring as possible. (makes sense) The problem is there is no training like an empty space to try it out. Which is a real shame to teaching you of anything. Mostly they are VERY STRICT rules, which you can't even try to lose it. It's not like I'll try it in real life anyway.

Monkey Island

Monkey Island

Clicking games. I simply sometimes don't understand the hiding spots. You have to click EVERYTHING to find something out if you miss the spot. Some puzzles can be illogical at first. Most games I have the problem like I figure it out the B,D plan of puzzles but not the A,C simply because I can't find it or something is illogical solution or simply everything is under your nose.

Poker

Poker

It's something you have to figure it out - the cards that are on the table and the opponent what does it have and you need to something to trick them. Like money raise like you have them or not. It's based on like a survival. POKER FACE! Full House. Pairs.

Rubik's Cube

Rubik's Cube

Firstly I didn't understand it, because of weird tutorials that didn't explained very well. Eventually I found it on YT that did make sense. Eventually I try it out and finally figure it out myself. Mostly the beginning is a simple rule and when you go on, you just repeat it the same rules over and over and eventually you'll remember it. Now I can do it, without a tutorial. YES!

Chess

Chess

In the beginning, even It had a simple game play of structure to controls. I didn't understand how to win the main of the goal. Or I know the goal. But the most problem is the difficult of the game of chess. It's not really that friendly beginners. 1. BEAT the KING. 2. Watch out your every move of your piece (you have to know what pieces they are) - the most important part are the bottom ones: KING, QUEEN, HORSE, ROOK, BISHOP and even PAWS. 3. Think what opponent would do. (There is many IF's ) 4. Trick them like they will eat you, but you eat them back that is something important to them and... Check mate.

Dungeons & Dragons

Dungeons & Dragons

Too much tutorials, it's hard to get invested. It should at least have a template for beginners or something. Probably it has, but I didn't really invested that much.

Rhythm Heaven

Rhythm Heaven

The music sections. Everything on music. Sometimes you need to learn the beat on the right time. Some games have the problem with the beating of the feel. Or different instruments that you mostly not hear it. Once you get that, now you shine it. Even sometimes is that hard to control up to right beat. You'll have to remember every move.

Backgammon Blitz

Backgammon Blitz

It's a weird shaped. But it exactly similar to the board games to Ludo, Snake and ladder. You start off in bottom right corner. Then you walk out to the left side and then go up left corner. Then lastly go to the top right. When you bring all of them pieces to the top right, then you can finish, just like a Ludo.
