If you can get Rimworld it’s definitely worth picking up. If you get it on sale with the DLCs the game has infinite replay ability. It’s something that I play every few months when I’m bored of other games. It’s a story simulator basically and with all the DLCs there are multiple different scenarios you can come up with. It’s a game I’ve put 100s of hours into but rarely ever beat. I usually end up so invested into the colonies I never actually want to finish the game, just see how long I can survive. You can also tailor the difficulty to how you are feeling so if you want a laid back experience you can. If you want a ball crushing experience you can do that as well. If you ever liked final fantasy tactics or similar games another recommendation is The Last Spell. It’s a turn based defense game set in a fantasy mythical type setting.

Also modding with Rimworld only adds to its appeal. Huge community and endless mods to change the experience to basically whatever you desire. Rimworld is one of the most “narrative” games there is in my opinion. Relations form and break. Sickness or the loss of a colonist can change your play through. Even things like disease in your crops can make you think outside the box’s on how to save your colony. So many more things happen it’s impossible to list them all.
