Big marketing AAA stuff tend to be RPG and/or FPS (or at least elements of those) since they're safe choices and that's pretty much what the stereotypical gamer lives and breathes nowadays, for better or for worse; Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Grand Theft Auto V, Doom 2016, etc. But there's also plenty of other types of games even if they don't get as much attention (not demanding upper-mid end systems to may have something to do with that).
Not sure if I can help you there. I think you've covered every end of the driving genre there.
There's simulation stuff like The Sims 3 or Banished. Something more platformer-like would be Magicians & Looters or Momodora, though the retraux/shoestring indie art-style may be an acquired taste. Also, adventure games are making a pretty good comeback to the spotlight: Life is Strange or Dreamfall or King's Quest 2015 or Deponia or Telltale Games' The Walking Dead.
Consoles have been hit or miss lately since in my opinion they've been trying too hard to be PC-like even when it doesn't always suit them. Sony's offerings tend to bulk up on JRPGs. Nintendo, as usual, seems to do its own thing and do it well. For example, Splatoon for the WiiU was a novel take on shooters.
EDIT: If you've been out of the loop for a while, you actually have a larger range of games to look at then what most people here will suggest. Any game that you haven't played before is technically a new game!
EDIT#2: Talisman Digital Edition might good with friends and/or family. It has strong RPG elements but it's pretty much a fancy board game.
