Hoping to get some guidance here. My last meaningful interaction with gaming was Soul Blade on the PS1 in 2000. Nowadays I pick up a controller on my friends (already dated) PS3 and feel completely lost and frustrated in games like Battlefield and Far Cry 3 as I have no controller skills in this (incredible and exciting) 3D world. Also many of the concepts are a bit alien to me like what to do in an Open World game, customising characters, improving moving and aim in fighting games, switching inventory etc
I’m set on making a go of this and have a Steam deck on its way to me but aware that (as a dad of two with a full time job) I’ll probably only have 1 or 2 hours a day a to play.
Which games can anyone suggest as good entry level (or at least won’t kill me in the first 2 minutes while I’m still working out how to turn) to learn the controls and all the above in general?
I am chiefly interested in playing games with great visuals in the categories of:
Adventure RPGs e.g. Witcher 3 or Elder Scrolls First and Third person shooter games.
I’m so excited to get into it all again (escapism probably!) with so many amazing looking titles to choose from but would like a gentle ride back in.
Thanks

Play mass effect. The definitive edition. It scratches both the narrative and 3rd person shooter itch and is widely considered a masterpiece. It's relatively easy to pick up as it plays like an old school cover shooter (take cover, pop up and shoot)
