Seeing these I'd recommend sleeping dogs, just cause, Hogwarts legacy (if you like fantasy settings), crysis, assassin's creed. Most of these would keep you busy for days...
Then there are souls like games for playing in intervals or going on a grind.

I saw Jusant on Game Pass yesterday and have been playing that. It’s extremely laid back and relaxing. I can recommend that

Try changing your build. Go for a magic or faith based build, use ranged attacks. I'm told Elden Ring can be a quite peaceful game based on how you spec out you're character

Looks like you're into open world games. I'd recommend Skyrim (Modded if possible since the vanilla game can feel a bit outdated since it was released in 2011), Assassin's Creed Odyssey (sort of grindy but fun regardless and very inspired from the Witcher 3 which you probably like), Elden Ring (good luck).

Rocket League! Just kidding; I happened to like the mechanics on that game and is still my most-hours-spent game. But not a must-play.
I'd say FH4 is a must-play. You don't need a wheel; keyboard is fine, but with a decent controller it's a lot more enjoyable.

Friend bought a new gaming laptop. He never played any PC game or any game for that matter prior to purchasing it. First game I made him play was Call of Duty Black Ops 2. While it is more than 12 years old now, I just felt it was perfect for him, steady pace of action without unnecessary dialogue or exposition (imagine making someone play death stranding as their first game), not having any sort of RPG elements aside from having the option to take critical decisions during the story that will change the ending of the game for you. And Guns, everyone loves guns (ingame). The flashbacks from the past to the near future settings is just great too. Extremely memorable game with good difficulty settings as well. Even I'm tempted to replay it again.

I would highly recommend Subnautica. It is an open sea exploration game with a crisp narrative fed to through audio logs. Your character is stranded on a sea world planet and wants to leave while trying to figure out what caused their spaceship to crash.
As an added challenge, I would recommend that you hold your breath irl whenever your character holds their breath. It will add massive amounts of immersion. Should be doable in the early to mid stages of the game where your character has oxygen for about 30 seconds to 2 minutes.

Damn, I wish I had seen your recommendations when the steam sale was on. I'm a big fan of limbo, celeste and Firewatch.
@sabino One game I can recommend in a heartbeat is the follow-up to limbo by playdead studios - "Inside". It's an IGN 10/10. Check it out.

If you liked both Limbo and Inside, you should definitely play Cocoon, it's created by the same game designer.
There's also Somerville made by some ex-Playdead devs but that game was more of a miss than a hit.
Both are freely available on gamepass btw.
P.S. @OP some other recommendations from me, do check out gameplay videos before you buy any of these to check if it suits your taste. Most of them are available on gamepass, you can probably buy for a month and play half of these for Rs.529
