Thank you very much. I think isometric RPGs will be the sort of thing I'll definitely try.
Sorry for not being to focused but yeah, after this brainstorm with your help I think I'm searching for something that mimics board games (which I love and play) more than anything else. Maybe it's this year that I finally get into D&D playing, since I have the books for 5ed and enjoyed reading them very much but never played.
That genre of "isometric" RPGs are sometimes also called "CRPGs" (where the C stands for either "Classic" or "Computer" depending on who you ask)
I recommend Dragon Age Origins, Divinity Original Sin, Pathfinder Kingmaker, and Pillars of Eternity
No worries, video games are a huge market, so it'll always take some time to find the niche which fits you best.
There exist a few online and PC versions of well-known board games, such as Dominion, Codenames or Scythe. And there is the general purpose Tabletop Simulator. I haven't looked at those, but you might want to look into them.
