Offline? I’ve been playing the Megaman Battle Network collection since it’s mindnumbing and chill
I get the burn out of playing long and endless games a lot of times I like to play shorter games in between the long games. My go to genre for these games are metroidvanias but, I would suggest going for more indy games between the big AAA games. I recently played Dredge, Carrion, Bastion, and Balatro they were fantastic. If you want a “reset” literally, the game Hard Reset was great, an FPS in a futuristic setting that was pretty short. In the metroidvania style games, I love the Rogue Legacy games, Hollow Knight and Dust: An Elysian Tail.
I am also leaving WOW, mostly because everything seems to be coming out faster in it lately and with my job, I just don’t have the time to keep up with it all. I only got to play the anniversary stuff a few days so far which isn’t enough time to get everything and the times that I’m on usually there isn’t anyone doing the world bosses.
Fallout is fun
You will play Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous
Elden Ring.

street fighter 6 gives the feeling of accomplishment without the fomo treadmill
elden ring and other soulslike game is fun but can be frustrating
assasin creed valhalla is fun immersive and the rogue like river raid somewhat gives the feeling of fun accomplishment
clash royale is 5 minutes fun per session
I remember Monkey Island, a creative, fun game. I see Steam has a 5 pack of the MI games on special at the moment.
I think you mean fixed. I’m glad I can help you with that, good luck.
Depends on your taste.
I have a few oddballs, such as Oxygen not Included, and Don’t starve.
RimWorld,
Factorio,
High on life,
Frost punk,
Hades,
Elden ring.
Honestly there are a lot of good ways to get away from wow, and plenty of things to capture you for a while the choice is yours friend, good luck.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a great game
Other ppl are suggesting things you said not to, so I’ll do as you ask, but first are you cool with RPGs and adventure games?
I know a few of the beaten path hands of those and other genres i thought were good.
If so, have you played the major ones? What about strategy games?
Darkest Dungeon and or Hollow Knight.
Both are great games that have a clear end and both are extremely cheap. They also both support addon so you can change the game pretty radically if you get bored.
Darkest dungeon is a roguelike that is based on lovecraftian horror. The base game is pretty darn difficult but with the addons you can make it trivially easy. The story and voice lines are amazing (most people who have played it will recognize them till the day they die,) and every play through is different. While you can play perfectly skill wise it is heavily rng dependent and sometimes you just get a party killed but that falls in line with the horrors of the game.
“Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.”
“Monstrous size has no intrinsic merit, unless inordinate exsanguination be considered a virtue.”
“The sins of the past weigh heavy on this cursed ground. You walk the same halls where countless others have perished, their blood painting the walls in grim testament to their folly. You too will add your name to the ledger, whether as a conqueror or a failure. The reckoning comes for all—there is no escape.”
Hollow Knight is a metroid style game. Its big appeal is the story, art and music. Again the base game is highly difficult but you can add addons to lower the difficulty. Sections like the path of pain are notoriously difficult. Its one of my all time favorites.
ESO’s questing blows WoW’s questing out of the water lol. I immediately noticed that my first time trying ESO. The store in ESO is what turned me off though. That thing is insanity.
Buy a sega console that has every game on it and play shining force 1 and 2.
Community service.
Palia is not really endless though. It has a storyline that you finish. Friendships that you finish. Romances (if someone want to) that you finish.
The building plot part can go on as long as someone wants - but if they have a goal to build X and are happy with it, then the game is “done” for now.
Then they realease a new patch with something to check out or a bit more of the questing story. It is not a grind game were you have to keep going though. I can put it down for a month and nothing bad happens.
My plants don’t die, my house does not fall down, my char does not complain, etc. I love that the game really does let you pick it up and put it down without consequences.
