I’m a non-gamer looking for recommendations please. I saw the Quake II refresh and it makes me want to explore/roam some 3D environments again. But I’m really not into the intensity of any of the shooting games.

Tomb Raider was fun but I found combat hard to control.
Half-Life had great environments but too much shooting for me.
Portal was great fun but I eventually found it repetitive.
Beyond a Steel Sky is one of my favorites although the pace of exploration is a bit slower than others.

I’m tempted to give a game like Myst a try but the puzzles sound a bit too involved for me. Basically something without much stress or excessive friction against exploration of the environment. Thanks

    I don’t see Thief mentioned yet. It’s old but it was called a “first person sneaker” by some reviewer back in the day.

    I’m seeing something on Steam that looks like it but with a 2/2014 release date, which seems newer that I remember. Apparently there’s a bunch of DLC too, so you might consider buy a bundle.
