The D:OS games rely heavily on surface and cloud mechanics to add combat depth, especially for spellcasters. Fights get really messy by the end, which can be interesting or exhausting depending on who you ask. BG3 stripped most of that out in the conversion to D&D.

If you enjoy word puzzles and exploration, I’d highly recommend Lingo and/or Lingo 2. Either one is a good starting point. First is more open ended, second has a progression system that slowly expands the possibility space. The first game also has some excellent custom maps, such as Duolingo and Liduongo.
