Notes -
I mentioned this in another thread, but I finally have a gaming PC. I am far behind on gaming. The newest console I have is from 2012. I never had a gaming PC. I am open to any games of any genre from the last 30 years. I love RPGs, but open to anything. Bonus if it’s cheap.
It's such a wide universe that it's hard to really just dump a suggestion without any feelers for what you'd be interested in. Going off of RPGs and with a fairly wide variety
Path of exile(1 or 2): Diablo style top down click to move loot game with near infinite complexity and a deep market economy. Both games are popular and continue to have near quarterly large patches. It's an overwhelming amount of complexity that people either love or hate. poe 1 is free and poe2 has a $30 buy in until the end of the year when it goes out of early access. The buy in gets you store credit which you could use to buy stash tabs(good or organizing your loot) that apply to both games.
Baulder's gate 3: basically dungeons in dragons as a single player adventure, extremely well received. If you're at all interested in the dungeons and dragons experience this is worth a pick up.
Hades 1 and 2: this is a rogue lite(a genre where you start essentially new games repeatedly with random powerups to try and beat the story, lite means there are inter-run power ups and like means no inter-run powerups essentially) with good RPG themes, great if you like a quick self contained run game that leaves you wanting to play just one more.
slay the spire 1 and 2: sts1 kicked off a whole genre of turn based rogue likes. It's a card game in the rogue lite style.
Blue prince: Another rogue lite at a slower pace where you explore rooms and try to get deeper into an ever changing house as you piece together a neat story.
Clair Obscur: expedition 33: A French JRPG with great atmosphere, not really my type of game but really well received.
Doom: It's doom!
Factorio: Ok, not much of a role play game but you're on the motte, you'd probably like factorio. Build a factory to turn stuff into stuff you need to build a bigger factory.
Hogwarts Legacy: If you like harry potter then it's a very competently made RPG in that game. The game play isn't anything to write home about but it's an RPG set in hogwarts, what more do you want?
Binding of Isaac: Perhaps the GOAT of Rogue likes, old but holds up.
That's what I find scrolling through the last couple years of my steam library. I'm sure I've missed some. If you have any games you've particularly liked in the past or mechanics you're interested in I might be able to refine the search a bit.
