I'd like to see simulation-based games as a supplement to traditional learning or apprenticeship.
There are a lot of XYZ Mechanic Simulator games which I think have potential to be effective learning tools. They won't teach you muscle memory, but a good one can distill a lot of experience into a shorter timeframe than normal. A mechanic simulator can teach you engine diagnosis and repair quickly because you can fast-forward the slow, mundane parts. You can also pace the 'lessons' for better retention, building incrementally on concepts.
We've already seen this be successful in aviation and racing.
On that vein, I've been wishing for a Zachtronics-style game that teaches electronics, starting with LEDs and resistors and moving on to more complex circuits.
