When it comes to games I'm somewhat ADHD, and I usually have 2-5 that I'm playing through at a time, each one serving different purposes. Currently I have a big, meaty crpg (P:KM), a nice little quick session game perfect for when the baby naps (Slay the Spire), a highly customizable 4x with great tactical combat (AoW3), and an old friend I'm revisiting for the umpteenth time for when I just need some comfort food (Thief). But I'm not currently playing anything that satisfies the guilty pleasure of a big dumb AAA game where I can just shut my brain off and enjoy the stupidity. What are some Codex recommendations? They don't have to be new (although the older they are the more likely it is that I have played them), and they don't even necessarily have to be AAA, but they do need to be dumb and involve almost no critical thinking (so something like Prey or Alien:Isolation would not fit). I am also pretty impatient with bloated hard drive footprints, so I'm probably not going to buy anything with a larger than ~40gig install footprint. No multiplayer-focused recommendations please; I have a baby, two dogs, a wife, and zero ability to ever commit myself to a multi-player match.
For reference some fairly recent AAA games I have played and enjoyed followed by some I have hated.
Liked:
Batmans

Assassin's Creed 1 (only other one I've played besidesOdyssey Origins, thought it was absolute shit after 20 minutes)
L.A. Noire (boggles my mind that people were voting for this turd in the GOAT non-rpg poll)
Bioshock Infinite (made Bioshock 1 look like a masterpiece)
Bully (someone thought this was a fucking game?)
Thanks in advance for any recommendations and inb4 "you have shit taste".
