Ah, see I am interested in a lot of variety but these days I don’t really have the time for extremely involved stuff. I enjoy games that you can spend small clips of time on, rather than having to devote a lot at once. I like cool visuals and gizmos - that’s why Torchlight appealed to me so much. Upgrading and advancing. I loved all the Angband clones I played over the years. I love lots of the BigFish style games like where there’s a cool story, hidden object puzzles, other types of puzzles, click / find stuff, and problem solving. Also I enjoy really good musical score. Ever play Drawn the Painted Tower and its sequels? Absolutely mesmerizing game of artistic beauty. I liked games like Sword of Fargoal, as well - also a sort of fancier Angband. Dungeon crawlers, adventure stories, cool gadget type equipment / magic spells etc.
I think it would be easier to specify the things I definitely won’t devote a single second to: sports, racing, RTS, hugely long-term upgrade stuff à la Sim City (though I used to love it). Roads of Rome is an exception. God I love that. And I also loved loved loved Magesty. Nothing where reflexes are needed. Again, used to be great in my youth but it’s not my thing anymore.
I loved the Krondor series by Raymond Feist. I enjoyed every Zork incarnation, especially Return to Zork, Zork: Nemesis, and Zork Grand Inquisitor. Might & Magic I loved, as well as Wizardry. Kings Quest series and of course Hero’s Quest. I liked the Diablo editions that were very like Torchlight.
Most of all is that I prefer it be on Android or Linux.
Wow did I just write ALLLL of that? Meh. Just sharing my game tastes.
P.S. oooh I LOVED the Samorost series. Amazing style, beautiful gameplay simulation and just plain fun and moderately challenging.
