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.

I love this thread, so many people are recommending games to each other. Nice to see.

My answer is games like Skyrim where it's a sandbox but you can pick up different quests. I know there's a proper name for them but it escapes me.

I know there's GTA which is a similar type but I want a more twee fantasy vibe

Open world RPG? They are probably the most common single player AAA experience released these days. Bethesda does work in a bit of "immersive sim" qualities to their games though, which is often what makes them feel so sand-boxy.
