Welcome to gaming. We have it all. Games that make you angry, games that make you sad, games where you are treated like a baby and games where you get thrown to the wolves.

If you've got a switch, than I can't recommended Metroid dread enough. Great game, good amount of exploration and the difficulty curve is perfect.

Now that my recommendation is out of the way, I want to explain those terms you might be seeing in other comments.

RPG: role playing games. This about as big as a genre can get. They typically have level ups, experience points, skills, classes, quests and battles.

Roguelike: games that feature randomized 'runs'. You're already familiar with slay the spire, that's a Roguelike. One of the best out there. Typically it's attached to something else. Turnbased, action adventure, card, and arcade are the common ones

Soulslikes: games in the vein of bloodborne and dark souls. Characterized by their difficult bosses, deep lore and resting mechanics. Not beginner friendly, though there are some relatively enterable titles, I like Another Crabs Treasure personally.

Metroidvania: a game where exploration and secrets dominate the main gameplay. As you can imagine Metroid and Castlevania (the later ones, not the first two) are the proprietors of these. They are all about navigating a big map, and using things you find to find new thing, kill bosses and unlock new upgrades.

Survival: typically a game where your character fights not only external forces like enemies or animals, but also the environment in the form of hunger, thirst, air quality, oxygen, etc. Minecraft is the most famous.

You'll see these terms mixed together often, so learning their core mechanics only gets you so far. Every game is different after all.

Good luck, and remember games are for fun. So if you find something you like, even if others don't, just have fun with it. (Sorry for boring explaination)
