Definitely not the most graphics-intensive game by a long shot, but I recently discovered "Octopath Traveler" on Steam. It's kinda like those old-school JRPGs from the Super Nintendo days, but with some interesting improvements in graphic quality like focus and depth, lighting, etc., but definitely hits that "nostalgia" vein pretty good. The voice acting isn't bad either, and it's got some depth and isn't a quick 2-hour campaign that's forgettable for $65 bucks; it seems worth your money as far as I can tell.

Other than that, I'm digging on Dying Light 2, Elden Ring, and recently re-played the Middle Earth games, which helped me understand some of the plot in the new Lord of the Rings series that's "airing" on Amazon right now (I'd have been entirely lost otherwise).

I'm also trying Black Desert again, and over on PS5 I'm re-playing The Last of Us Part 2. Also planning to finally give State of Decay 2 over on xbox a real try for once. Seems to have improved quite a bit since release.
