Animal Crossing doesn't work for me either, but I need a clear objective and some direction in games otherwise I just end up getting a bit confused. Some more loosely structured games go the other way and give so many choices I end up getting overwhelmed, but with Animal Crossing doesn't seem to give you anything at all. I find myself just meandering.

The real issue with Animal Crossing isn't a lack of direction, it's how easy the cozy illusion breaks because the background math running everything is so simplistic and easy to see through. Once you realize how few lines your villagers get, in particular, the magic tends to break and the experience starts feeling hollow.

Animal Crossing does have a really big active fanbase so there is something there. I think in the long run, it's a little like The Sims where (my understanding is) that people treat it more for the varying design elements than the core gameplay. If you look around Instagram, there's a lot of really beautiful villages. How people afford to put those together is beyond me, but maybe people are leaving sellable items as a "tip". There were some bell glitches early on which have been patched out, but I think there's one or two still lingering around so maybe that's an avenue too. The villagers are hollow, but they're more like decorations too.

Probably Undertale. Tried 2 times and found it very dull and boring. But it's ok, not every game needs to be for everyone.
All the GTAs, specially gta5. You have a soulless open world, and then activate a mission, and have to do exactly as you're being told. People piss on Ubisoft games, but I'd much rather play far cry games or assassin's Creed Odyssey than any GTA.

I'd give Deltarune a shot if you haven't especially the current parts are free. I didn't like Undertale either, but thought Deltarune was significantly better.
The last time I tried to replay a GTA (maybe VC), I tried to use a minor shortcut in a vehicle mission and it failed me on the spot. Dropped it right there.
