     Sh> I haven't found anything I like yet.

Ok, I'll try to make a few suggestions that might not require reflexes like an FPS game would. So far I think I've seen Helldivers and Borderlands, both are FPS and will have a similar feel to your reflexes. I might also recommend trying more games that use a controller rather than keyboard and mouse. You might find it easier on your hands - I do anyway. I enjoy both Keyboard/Mouse games and Controller games, but getting old with tennis elbow, wrist and joint issues... I find controllers easier to use for longer periods of time.

If your games are crashing, dont use the pirated versions? (just kidding.. right?) But seriously, if you have stability problems playing games, especially very popular games, google around for solutions or check your own PC build for some issues. This kind of behavior, like Borderlands crashing when you talk to the first bot npc every time is not normal.

Check out the Final Fantasy XVI on Steam. It is an action-rpg. There is a free demo so you have nothing to lose. Its about as AAA as you can get. I very much enjoyed playing this on PS5. Its not as difficult as a Souls game and has a good story to it.

Try Final Fantasy XIV online. The free trial takes up through like 80% of the game. Nothing to lose but some hard drive space. Its an MMORPG, but you can play it at your own pace, no pressure. For me its a game I go back to when a new expansion comes out and then I'll quit for while until future content updates come. Their free trial is a pretty awesome value - you won't find that much free AAA content anywhere else I dont think.

Animal Well is a metroidvania style game. Lots of hidden things to find. Very retro feeling. Super fun. I highly recommend this game to anyone who might enjoy a good metroidvania.

Try Baldur's Gate 3. I haven't played it myself, but the series is almost legendary and it won game of the year last year if I recall.

Check out some Real Time Strategy games. It is not a genre I am very familiar with these days, but they might be a bit slower paced and a lot of fun.

Factorio. Some people were talking about it around here. Its another one I have not played, but I have a friend who streams it on Twitch often enough. If you like building and managing and that sort of thing, this would be a great match.

Another series I think is under appreciated is Octopath Traveler. The first and second game are excellent HD2D RPGs.

I hope some of these suggestions help you in your search. If you have comments about them plus or minus, maybe that can better help us help you in your search. There is something out there that will work for you, I'm sure of it.
