I don’t want to sound rude, genuinely I don’t, but you obviously have played very, very few video games in your lifetime if you think that Mario 64 is the most confusing. Either that or you’ve primarily only played games that have come out since 2010. Strictly linear, hand-holding game design is a pretty new phenomenon.
I’m not sure you understood me. In about 2006 (pre-2010), when I was a child, I played it at a friend’s house once. At the time I was playing, I didn’t know what I was supposed to be doing, it confused me, and, get this, at that time, it was probably the most boring and confusing game I had encountered, again, at that time. I, as the target audience, was bored. That doesn’t mean I think it’s a bad game. That’s just my experience with it. Hence, “maybe I should revisit it some time.”
Also, I almost never play videogames that were made post-2010, and even then few that were made post-2005.

Not out of principle, but out of interest. Very few modern games actually gather my interest enough to spend time playing. Recently I haven’t been playing any videogames very often.
I enjoy old platformers, spaceship shooters (though I suck at them), first person shooters (when they gather my interest), text adventures, impossible to figure out LucasArts adventure games, and Videlectrix games 😉. I go right by most modern games.
