The Witness is a beautiful singleplayer puzzle game where you explore a mysterious island and solve these grid based puzzles that get increasingly harder throughout. It encourages a lot of exploration and keeping an eye on your enrviornment.
Divinity: Original Sin 2 Is a an incredible top down RPG that gives you a lot of options for character creation and features one of the most well developed and immersive worlds I've experienced in a game. It's got strategic turn based combat which I think you'd enjoy a lot, and it's the kinda game you can sink many many hours into. It's getting an enhanced version later this year too I think? But anyone who buys the base game gets the enhanced version as a free upgrade too, so you can play it whenever.
Reigns Is a game that made a monarchy simulator out of Tinder essentially. In both the first one and its sequel Reigns: Her Majesty, you play as a king or queen and you have to make decisions by either left or right swiping. You have to try and please the church, the military, your people, and keep your country financially afloat through these decisions. It's really really addicting! It's also fun seeing what happens when you mess up since it has a lighthearted tone to it.
VA-11 HALL-A is a game where you play as a bartender in Glitch City, which is basically a crazy dystopia full of government / corporate strife. You get to experience this setting through the lens of the bartender listening to the woes of the patrons as you give them their drinks. It's got great music, a fantastic PC-98 inspired art style, and some really solid writing.
West of Loathing is a game that looks really unassuming since all the characters are stick figures, but my god it's one of the funniest games I've ever played. It's got a really surreal western world full of absurdity and witty humor and it surprises you in a ton of ways while you play. Has some pretty fun turn based combat too!
Some other people recommended these to you as well, but I can also super recommend any of the Zachtronics games, Cities: Skylines, The Sims, and Stardew Valley. Hopefully you enjoy some of these!

Centers around a kid named Seki who goofs off during class in increasingly elaborate and ridiculous ways and how he distracts the girl next to him who tries her darndest to focus on class, but gets almost as caught up in it as him. Each episode lasts about 15 minutes and they're pretty fun to watch!
I agree with this a lot. While it's really refreshing to have a board that has more careful and serious discussion, I imagine the sheer density of that seriousness puts some people off of posting as often as they might on other sites. Some of the best memories I have of the forums I've been into in the past as well were from being able to goof around and make friends like that.
