For me it would probably be Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. I can turn on the game and just wander around and enjoy the scenery. Or I can go fight monsters if the mood strikes.

the first Mass Effect. I know it's not as advanced or epic as ME2, but i still find it fun and if there is nothing else to play, I'll often start a new playthrough.
IMHO, it's still the best one. The first one is a distinct RPG, while the sequels leaned more into being cover shooters with RPG elements. It's why I actually enjoyed Mass Effect: Andromeda, because it actually tried to be an RPG again. I get that people weren't happy with it, but damn if it didn't offer up a feeling of exploring a frontier.
ME Andromeda was good. But the writers didn't deliver with that lame ending
You could tell they were positioning it for a sequel where the new aliens were the new big bad of the galaxy. I thought the game had a lot of good ideas, and I think many people were unfairly negative to it. They were trying to give it a bit of a different focus with the colonization, and it was a game that actually encouraged exploration. Of all the games, this one had the most exploration in it. But for whatever reason, players just didn't connect with it. I will say though, that running animation made it look like the character was clumsily tripping while running down stairs.
Absolutely, don't know how many playthroughs I've done now.the first Mass Effect. I know it's not as advanced or epic as ME2, but i still find it fun and if there is nothing else to play, I'll often start a new playthrough.
I've never played any of the civilization games. How do they play out?
Like do you start at a base level and progress from there?
OK this sounds interesting. I am going to try Beyond Earth if that's available, and if it has a peace mode.They're turn based strategy games. Like all old civ games, you start out with a city and collect resources so you can build more cities or go conquer other's cities. There's a tech tree for advancements. Or you can select Peace mode in the setup and there's no war so it turns into a trade and science thing.
Veilguard was a major disappointment, it's not Dragon Age: Inquitision by any means, it's an action game that is far more shallow in comparison...(button mashing). I played about 2 hrs of it and when I realized it was nothing like Inquisition, I lost interest immediately and pivoted to Baldur's Gate...Absolutely, don't know how many playthroughs I've done now.
Dragon Age is another. If I'm in for a slightly more serious mood, Origins. If for just a quick runaround, despite some people not liking it, then the second one.
In the case of Andromeda and Inquisition, they're the two I've played the least - but I enjoy them (Andromeda has the edge for me)
I haven't played Veilguard yet (Tech more than anything else)
