it's a top notch game in and of itself, with a lot of very classic game-standards of leveling and equipment and items distilled down to their essentials, which doesn't demand too much finnicky or specific action from the player.
plus, it's aesthetically stunning, has an excellent and engrossing musical score, a mysterious story with one of the best hooks i've ever come across, simple controls, and a camera that's taken care of for you. at the very least, one of those elements is bound to grab them.
it's approachable while still presenting to them the kind of depth that earns our love of the medium.
(oh, and it's been released on just about every platform under the sun, so no barrier of options there.)
