    I understand people wanting a challenge. I just want to work through a fun interactive story in easy mode, with no difficult game mechanics, complicated controls, etc. I do play more than one game at a time, when I can find playable games, so complicated controls are out of the question as I won't remember how to play the game at all. The most fun I've had so far was WarHammer 40K Space Marines (the first one). I got through 3 levels and it
    was quite playable, but I got bored quickly and haven't played it since. If
    I can play a game for 30-40 minutes total I consider that a win. I tried Assassin's Creed Shadows, but could only play as the samurai. As soon as I started to play as the ninja it became unplayable for me. I couldn't control the horse to save my life and the lack of straightforward combat was a major turn-off. I suffer from significant tremors as well as ADHD Inattentive type which make game playing very difficult. I've got about 140 games on my
    system I've only played about 5 significantly and most not at all. It's been
    a major waste of money for me. I'm periodically looking for suggestions of games that I might enjoy and am trying again. I might even have it already.
    I tried Shadow Tactics, Blade of the Shogun, but don't have the patience for tactics games.

    I understand people wanting a challenge. I just want to work through
    a fun interactive story in easy mode, with no difficult game mechanics, complicated controls, etc.

    I have recently been playing Horizon Zero Dawn on Steam. It's got a
    story mode where you do very limited actions and mostly watch the
    story. It's pretty fun. I have about 8 hours into it so far.

    I also like to play the open world crafting survival games like 7 days
    to die. Not sure if you would like that type of game. You basically
    have to stay away from the zombies until you get to higher levels. I
    have a LOT of hours into that game.

    I also played another story type game that's older called Life is
    Strange. That one also has limited actions and it was also fun, kind of
    like a movie.

    I think that would require too much thinking ahead, just like Strategy.

    Understood. Diablo II both the old and new. You can even host your own battle.net service so you can use bots to hunt for items for you and such. This way you play one character and allow a computer to do the 10k runs of an area to get you an item you want. You get to play at your pace and just enjoy the game without the RNG headache

    I did have fun with Diablo.IV, but only got to level 10 playing with my
    brother before he passed away. I'm too early.in the game to play with anyone else.

    I got bored 20 seconds into the intro, sorry. I need something that can keep my interest as well, I have a really short attention span due to ADHD inattentive type.

    Never know unless you try right? It does have a long intro, but once you
    get past that - it's fun for me to play as you don't have to do much but
    shoot arrows here and there and follow the story.

    Nice to talk to you, have a great day!

    How hard is the aimimg? I find FPS games almost impossible with my tremors
    and many decades of anti-psychotics. Sorry, I find gaming very difficult,
    but it is something that I have derived great pleasure from as well.

    Ok, I found the world of adult visual novels... Not boring, gets right to
    the story, doesn't have complicated game mechanics and otherwise meets my requirements. I do feel dirty playing them, though...
