Here's a look at some of my favorite games. I must say pretty much anything from PS is my favorite. Ragnarok, Helldivers, Spider-Man, Ratchet and Clank, etc.

What I love: Primarily story-driven, third-person, high-fidelity, single-player games with solid fighting characteristics with simple upgrade paths. FPS are cool too. Anything with "power fantasy".

What I hate: Anything complicated that I have to scower the internet just to learn how to play. Anything with classes or numerical attributes (Strength, Vitality, etc). I know this comprises many popular games, and if you like it, I'm happy for you, it's just not for me.

Edit: no corporate trash. No Ubisoft, EA, Rockstar, Denuvo, or remote accounts.

Tried Elden Ring. Got my ass kicked by the first guy I encountered repeatedly. Tried to run away but get chased down. I don't understand the mechanics at all. Like how do you time anything when every maneuver takes 3 seconds to execute?

    Since you mentioned not liking numerical attributes or things you need a guide to understand properly, I don't think you'd like Elden Ring or Dark Souls. But you might like Hollow Knight, which does away with that unnecessary fluff.

    Slay the Spire: seconded.

    I do like it but I just get bored very quickly walking back and forth over the same path over and over trying to figure out wtf to go.
