That's about the same general idea that I tend to favour in games as well.
Though I can't pull any other games out of my head right now that hit those marks.
I've actually been leaning more toward simpler games over the past few years.
Probably because they're low stress activities in stressful times.
a few bethesda games come close, once you pack them with so many mods and bug fixes they're barely recognizable, of course.
