I'd recommend it to anyone regardless of experience with videogames, even people that have never played a videogame. The beginning area reminds me of old school videogame tutorials, it's basically just a safe "sandbox" where you can experiment with all the mechanics and figure everything out.
If, incredibly, you haven't heard of this game yet, do yourself a favor, don't look anything up, take us on faith and just buy it and play it. It's even better if you go in blind.
