For me it’s first person puzzle games. I can think of maybe a dozen off the top of my head that came out in the last decade. I especially enjoy when they’re open world. The ability to just quit a puzzle that’s stumped you and go try something else for a little bit is incredibly refreshing.
Like Myst? I love those. Have you tried The Witness?
Yes the witness and the Talos principle are two of my favorites
Quern - Undying Thoughts tickled that genre for me. As did Haven Moon and The Eyes of Ara.
