Animal crossing.
And back when this was a thing, Candy Crush.
A friend tried to get me into Half-Life multiple times and I just cannot get into it.
It's a fast-paced FPS game, which means I'm likely to get dizzy after some time but something about the ambience makes it worse than usual. I can play Skyrim for up to 1.5 hours at a time, Minecraft or Fortnite for 45-60 minutes, but I'd be lucky to play 20 minutes of Half-Life without my head pounding.
Plus, it's a linear, story-based game, and I'm more into games based more on mechanics and progression (like Pokémon, Factorio, Cities Skylines, Civ, Balatro, and incremental games) than story. And at least for as long as I've tried to play it, there isn't even much of a story.
Have you tried Portal? I ask because it's half life but worse, for you, it sounds like.
You might like Dyson Sphere Program, and Vintage Story, given the list you named. They're both early access and cheap.

Walking simulators
Something like outer wilds should be fine but i get easily annoyed from just running around
Even that i know that in some cases its very fast running around or something

Mega Man, no matter how much time I put into trying to grasp the controls and mechanics, it just never clicks.
Xenoblade Chronicles
The turn based but also realtime combat makes me so uncomfortable.
Warcraft
Same with Pokémon. I'm not a big fan of most turn based games, but that franchise especially never spoke to me.
I have a friend who buys every new Pokémon game they bring out. Same him playing one a while back, and I was like, that's it? They can get super big now? That's the new thing? To me it's like FIFA, same game different characters.
Pokemon. I was in highschool when it came out and had no time for it followed by being too poor and busy trying to survive directly after it. With no nostalgia for it, there seems to be no reason to try it. I gave pokemon go like 20 minutes and I was over it (though I did play dragonquest walk for around a year)
Yea the gameplay is just far too repetative for my liking lol but i get some people are into that
One piece
Sonic
God Of War
Dark Souls
Call Of Duty
Final Fantasy
Pokemon. Never played one, never will. Hot take is it's a gateway into IRL hunting which is honestly just very cruel. Do not approve.
