I'm turning 40 this year and what's been refreshing after not gaming for the last 5 years or so has been playing older games from the 2000s that I've missed. Great prices on these older titles and I've been having a blast playing them.

Similar situation here and I recommend playing roguelites (Hades, Vampire Survivors, FTL, Slay the Spire, etc). There's an appreciable power curve in each play through sitting. Each experience and play through is self contained and satisfying. There's good use of time rather than lots of "dead" time or loading/matchmaking time.
