I recommend getting some indie and pixel art style titles instead of just going for AAA. Reason being many of these are cheaper ($5-10, sometimes even less) so you can try different genres, and these titles also tend to sip battery so you will get lots of gameplay time.
Examples I have enjoyed, in no particular order-
Animal Well
Celeste
Stardew Valley
Vampire Survivors
Caveblazers
Balatro
Slay the Spire
I love when I come across a recommendation list like this where they’re all among my all time favorites and one thing I’d never heard of. Caveblazers doesn’t look like my kind of thing but given the context and the sub $1 price I guess I gotta check it out
Animal Well looks amazing! And I’ve heard of Celeste. Been meaning to pick that one up.
In this same vein, I believe Moonlighter is still on sale for 90% off, so $2. Can't recommend enough. Like if binding of Isaac was also a cozy shopkeeping sim.
