You might enjoy Islands of Insight. Nothing but puzzles. No combat, no competition to speak of. Just floating islands full of puzzles to solve. Or if you like your puzzles to include some backstory and philosophical musings about the human condition, you might enjoy The TALOS Principle. If you enjoy designing small homesteads or towns with buildings, gardens, flowers, ponds, roads etc, that is only building from an isometric top down view, I would suggest Tiny Glade. If none of those appeal at least you still have books lol.

oooooh – hopefully not willy nilly – where you go SPLAT. (^o^)

I think part of my issue with playing game is lack of control using keys or whatever. I did okay with Wii because it was basically movement and I didn’t have to remember – this/that key button lever

I would love this kind of fantasy (maybe yeet some rocks through a hoop?) but be able to just meander around without having to worry about getting attacked since you can’t walk around IRL without being vigilant. Is there something with great graphics that maybe has a puzzle to solve but is not a competition and allows you to wander where you want?

It would be so nice to just have a fantasy land (bringing book worlds to life) to look at with some interesting trees, fauna, magical critters, etc. without having to ‘earn’ your keep or fight to survive. I just want to play and explore – have fun – like when I was a kid. Putter around.

I tried second life many years ago and kind of liked designing clothes in that but I didn’t own a computer that supported the graphics so I only got to try it a couple of times. At least I can access books nearly any time.

I see your dead cow reflexes and raise you an inability to handle a controller. If it can’t be done with mouse and keyboard, count me out.

I have ragequit tutorials and refunded games over that 🙈😅
