What are you into? Disco Elysium, always.
Isometric games I never really liked -- even back in the days of the original Fallout.
Swords and sorcery are something I didn't think I'd like -- until Dishonored came along, but I don't think the Witcher series is much like Dishonored.
There's a Russian FPS I was interested in, but I it seems to be in development limbo.

Dishonored isn't swords and sorcery, it's FPS, and it's not at all like the Witcher.
Wolfenstein II: New Colossus was £4 a couple of days ago, an acceptable shooter for the price. I think the 2016 version of Doom was also that price? Not sure.

The Dishonored franchise definitely has swords and swordplay but they are a secondary weapon to magic and guns. I think swords do more damage than guns.
If Dishonored doesn't have sorcery then what do you call the witches, the outsider and the spells the protagonists and antagonists use?

I grabbed Horizon Zero Dawn and Halo MCE. Both are good for a ton of playtime.
HZD plays just fine at 1080p Auto on my ancient X5690 and RX 480 8GB. I assume MCE will be similar.

Dishonored is really an Action Adventure game with Stealth. In fact you are punished for violence. I really enjoyed Dishonored and highly recommend it.
