Turn based jrpgs like Final fantasy series games, octopath traveller, dragon warrior

Sam and max beyond space and time, comedy point and click adventure style game

DOOM

All of the old scummVM adventure games; Sam and max hit the road, monkey island, day of the tentacle, etc

For something more cinematic I’d look at platinum games like Bayonetta, god of wars, mass effects, gears, half-lifes, dark souls

I would avoid something really puzzle heavy like professor Layton or tactical like civ or Stellaris I enjoy watching/listening to people play games but those usually can’t hold my interest unless I’m playing

Edit: a couple more recent titles to add are Pentiment and Kentucky route zero

Is this the one where devolver digital does something goofy? That’s usually pretty fun

BotW was a great exploration and movement game. I think the things that help are fun transportation methods and a big open world to use them in. So Tony hawk might be a lot of fun to just ride around but the levels are too small for any real exploration. Or daggerfall is a huge open world, but traveling feels pretty tedious. MMOs are kinda fun for this but the leveled regions means some places are very dangerous to move around in without a group or higher levels. Forza 4/5 were a lot of fun for this if you ignore the loot box casino garbage. The last couple Spider-Mans were really good for this & Burnout paradise was a good one too.

I can’t think of a setting that would universally apply to all games, like I’d be hard pressed to say a setting in Tetris that would apply to Minecraft. Vision and auditory accessibility is probably about it, but those settings would look pretty different I think depending on the game or genre of game.

“Economy” is almost always corpo newspeak for wealthy people’s money. If they actually meant the economy as in everyone’s stake in the economic system the phrase “cost the economy” would be meaningless. Buy devices second hand direct from individual seller markets or older models. The article also quotes multiple CEOs but no labor leaders.
