Puzzle solving mostly? In my youth I played many console RPGs and FPS but now I find the stories cliche and boring and last FPS game I tried gave me motion sickness. Not great.

Lately I've been playing older games and tackling my steam queue. I finally got to Disco Elysium a few months ago, Unicorn Overlord next, did Sea of Stars last month, and am working on the Pedestrian now.
But really, Tears of the Kingdom was great, no matter how disappointingly bland the underworld was. Yes, the story is cliche, but the story is a framing device for the actual gameplay, always has been. Being able to build machines to solve Zelda puzzles is A++ gameplay.
Alternatively: the NYT Connections daily puzzle is the cause for my insomnia. The line between game and puzzle is blurry!
