Are video games supposed to be places where nothing bad ever happens, or where every aspect of the world is under the complete control of the player, even when there's more than one player?

I wouldn't say complete control. There'd be no challenge then. But I think the ability of the player to overcome the challenges should rest solely in their control.

I keep thinking of Half-Life 1. That would be a great choice for brand new people. You literally start on rails, getting used to a 3d space, and then by the end are leaping over aliens tossing grenades in their brains.
