I love the standalone Gwent game (which I played first), but hated the more primitive version they used in The Witcher 3. Never touched it beyond what they required.

My suggestion would be to go a bit more old school with the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG by Goodman Games. It's lighter than 5e and PF2e, but there's a fun magic system and martial characters also get some love through the improvisational Mighty Deeds of Arms mechanic. There's only one core book, but there's an incredible amount of adventure and setting support. The community is chill and welcoming.
Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG. I’ve played it before, but I really want to run it myself.
I’m also interested in either playing or running Black Sword Hack: Ultimate Chaos Edition. I’ve run the regular first edition Black Hack, but I much prefer the overt Sword & Sorcery style of BSH.
I'm playing in a Cyberpunk RED campaign and one of my groups just wrapped up a Numenera mini-campaign. Next month, the Numenera campaign will be replaced with a Kobold Press-heavy 5e campaign.
It's on a bit of a hiatus as the moment, but I've been running Mork Borg.
It’s challenging, but not quite to the extent of the Souls games. The Pawn system is fascinating, where you can lend your NPC helpers to other online players, and they’ll come back with gifts and also advice about dungeons and enemies.
The original is an underrated classic.
Outlast is 2spooky4me. Got pretty far in, but then just couldn’t get past the dread.
Never played it, but Alien: Isolation is a cool-looking game I’m not going to even bother attempting.
