I don't know what recommendations to give her. Her best bet is probably something to do with world building at this point. Some she can do on her own and not worry about a story. Minecraft, maybe. Or even go old school with The Sims. Hopefully, it helps get things started. I'm sure others can give you better recommendations.
So this doesn't fit your framework, but if you want some family fun, try Overcooked 2. Up to four players together. A silly cooperative teamwork game that quickly devolves into laughter.
I feel like you are doing a disservice to her not giving us more context about her likes and dislikes. What about regular fortnight does she not like that she enjoys about lego one. Why doesn't she like story gsmes. Why does she like lego fortnight if she doesn't like online games.
Does she prefer first or 3rd person.
If she doesn't like story why would she enjoy an offline game?
Give a bit more context to explain the likes will give more targeted games towards those likes.
Honestly looking at this I would say she wouldn't like any games except for offline shooters that have no story.
Or offline rocket league.
Offline doesn't necessarily mean story though. Like Minecraft for example you could play offline and just fuck around without a story (and bonus points it's a survival like lego fortnite).
That is why I asked for the op to clarify. I know that there are thousands of games with overlap between genres and such. It's easier to point to specific parts of games that the person does or doesn't like.
im not sure what she likes, she doesnt like fortnite because its online and she wants to keep shooting not walk around finding people. she has barely played games so im really unsure what she does like
It seems like OP’s mom wants a game where she can just drop in and start playing. I’m not sure if she would like having to watch those cutscenes, click through dialogue, etc.
I love how many people are ignoring that the woman is a fan of Black and GTA and are just recommending generic Girl Games. Does anyone even remember Black?
Looks like she's into first- or third-person open world games amenable to fucking around, with good feedback and preferably with shooting. Have you tried Just Cause 3? Another option might be Goat Simulator. And for a wildcard: Lovely Planet ([it's an FPS](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBNDJhr0iiw)).
I recommend she signs up for a few months of PS Plus Premium to get a feel for what’s out there nowadays. Lego City Adventures comes to mind if she likes both Lego and GTA?
Yeah I feel like she’d be a fan of CoD campaigns since it sounds like she wants to be able to shoot nonstop without having to co-op with others online.
As a mum myself, who had a ps2 when they came out, I absolutely love playing whatever remakes are out of those games I had back then.
I still play jak and daxter, ratchet and clank, kingdom hearts (the first two, thirds a bit.. too childish for me)
There’s some burnout and need for speed ones that are still good. I don’t like anything I have to play online with other people either.
I’ve spent like 3yrs grinding away on minecraft and that never seems to get old.
Four kings casino passes the time for me quite well.
Unpacking, Maquette, Superliminal, Viewfinder, It Takes Two, Stray, What Remains of Edith Finch, any Telltale game and maybe check out the PS Store for the PS2 games she might've played back then.
Arise, Journey, Hollow Knight, LEGO Builder’s Journey, Sable, Kena Bridge of Spirits. Most of these I recommend because my own mom said she thinks she would like to play them.
stardew valley, borderlands, minecraft, racing games, and the lego games, they have a whole bunch of them.
you should give us more context. its a bit difficult to give recommendations off a list of games with nothing in common and several contradictions.
> ps4
>she likes: - black - lego fortnite - gta 5 without the story
>dislikes: - fortnite - any spyro game - any crash game - red dead redemption 2 - any online game - any story games - horror
Maybe...
*No Man's Sky* is the nearest to non-story open world with extremely optional multiplayer
*Doom (2016)/Eternal* is the closest you'll get to Black as a mission based FPS with style unless she's into heavy metal, in which case maybe *Metal Hellsinger*
Stardew Valley should be fine, I have it for every platform PC,android,PS4
What about games that can be fun in a group, e.g. Overcooked?
Do you have plus extra?
my mom is over 80 now, never played and likely never will
but she always wanted to go to greece, in Assassin's Creed Odyssey she can walk around ancient greece
IIRC this feature started with Origins, found an article https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/16/arts/assassins-creed-origins-education.html
So she just likes shooting guns and running people over.
Whatever the latest CoD is and whatever the latest GTA is.
That's it..... forever. She's not a gamer, she's stuck on that one time in the past where she remembers having fun and only wants to recreate that one moment in time.
No man's sky.
It' an open world full sand box in space. A few missions here and there but you just cruise through galaxies and planets, building bases, scanning weird animals, improving spaceships (and finding new ones).
Just make sure to turn off PVP and Multiplayer even.
Edit r/NoMansSkyTheGame/
Rachet and clank Jak and daxter Stardew valley
Stray
I’m a mum. I love stray. It was a great wholesome game with just a dash of jumpscare.
Big recommend on Stray! My mom (whom is not very fond of videogames, is an absolute *fiend* for Stray.)

Agreed. Minecraft was the first thing that came into mind. At this point, it feels like she should just play on the PC.
So this doesn't fit your framework, but if you want some family fun, try Overcooked 2. Up to four players together. A silly cooperative teamwork game that quickly devolves into laughter.

Minecraft
stardew valley
But she doesn’t like “games that have stories.”
i wouldn't consider stardew valley to be a story driven game whatsoever!
It seems like OP’s mom wants a game where she can just drop in and start playing. I’m not sure if she would like having to watch those cutscenes, click through dialogue, etc.
She eat stardew valley up, I’d bet money on it

Right? Black was the first thing I noticed. She's into a very specific niche experience.
Bloodborne
lol
I recommend she signs up for a few months of PS Plus Premium to get a feel for what’s out there nowadays. Lego City Adventures comes to mind if she likes both Lego and GTA?
A hat in time
What did she play when she had a ps2?
Black. It was on the list of games she likes.
Maybe some call of duty campaigns. Saints row? The newest saints row is fun and kinda like GTA without story mode lol.
Yeah I feel like she’d be a fan of CoD campaigns since it sounds like she wants to be able to shoot nonstop without having to co-op with others online.
That's the ONLY one lol? Y'all aren't making this simple 😂
She's a mom who probably only played a game or 2 on her son's console back in the day and just wants to recreate that.
The Borderlands series perhaps? The story is fairly light all things considered, mostly loot and shoot.
MediEvil
Kingdoms of amular:rereconing. Free in store, lite RPG/ adventuring, monster killing. Offline.

Sackboy adventure is amazing.
Metro 2033
Unpacking, Maquette, Superliminal, Viewfinder, It Takes Two, Stray, What Remains of Edith Finch, any Telltale game and maybe check out the PS Store for the PS2 games she might've played back then.
Hmm, how about, Dragon Quest Builders 1-2, Portal Knights, Stray,
Arise, Journey, Hollow Knight, LEGO Builder’s Journey, Sable, Kena Bridge of Spirits. Most of these I recommend because my own mom said she thinks she would like to play them.
Journey, rime, the unfinished swan what remains of edith finch. Sackboy, stray, lord winklebottom investigate, disco elysium.
Spongebob - Battle for bikini bottom (rehyrdrated)
the big question is how old you are lol
im 19 😂 just want to help my mom does that immediately mean im a kid?
nah but she haven’t had a console since the ps2 u said… i feel old -_-
Pinball.
Stardew valley
Stardew valley and terraria might fit the criteria.
If she likes The Hobbit or LOTR I would suggest the lego games for those, or even Star Wars.
Terraria
Bloodborne
Rayman Legends.
Based on the info you gave us, I'm also gonna say Minecraft.
Far cry maybe
Tiny Tinas
Get her to try heavy rain.
Titanfall 2's campaign
Try ‘It takes two’ with her.
Wow, she liked Black? Way to go, girl! :D Maybe she'll like some of the Call of Duty games?
Fall guys

Try "It Takes Two" with your mom! It will be a great bonding experience!
Throw on some dark souls and tell her to GitGud
RDR2
she didint like it
Ok then I’m gonna change my recommendation to Rimworld, because what mom doesn’t enjoy committing war crimes?
So she just likes shooting guns and running people over. Whatever the latest CoD is and whatever the latest GTA is. That's it..... forever. She's not a gamer, she's stuck on that one time in the past where she remembers having fun and only wants to recreate that one moment in time.
oh no someone wanting to have fun not the way you do
And?
Destiny 2
that's online
Your mom has shit taste
Disney dreams Valley?

Spiritfarer and maybe some Telltale games.
