The "Greek Fable": Immortals Fenyx Rising
If you want something that feels like Breath of the Wild meets Fable, this is it.
The Vibe: It doesn't take itself seriously at all. The entire game is narrated by Zeus and Prometheus bickering like an old married couple, cracking jokes about Greek mythology.
The Gameplay: Very solid action combat (dodges, parries, godly powers), manageable open-world puzzles, and free-form exploration.
Why it fits: It’s colorful, funny, and "gamey" in a good way. The UI is standard Ubisoft but much cleaner than the Asian RPGs you mentioned. It’s often on deep sale.
2. The "Action Combat" King: Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning
This is widely considered the closest combat feel to a single-player MMO without the junk.
The Vibe: High fantasy, but bright and colorful (art style by the creator of Spawn). It feels very "2012" in a cozy, nostalgic way.
The Gameplay: The combat is incredibly fluid action. You can mix magic, giant hammers, and faeblades seamlessly. It makes you feel powerful immediately without needing 20 hours of grinding.
Why it fits: The UI is old-school and simple (health bar, mana bar, mini-map). No flashing daily login bonuses or cluttered HUDs.
3. The "Palate Cleanser": Cat Quest III (or II)
Don't let the cute art fool you; this is a genuinely great, streamlined Action RPG.
The Vibe: Pure puns and pirate adventure (in the 3rd one). It is vibrant, happy, and designed to be fun from minute one.
The Gameplay: You sail a ship, explore islands, and fight in real-time. It strips away all the "fat" of modern RPGs—inventory management is instant, quests are fast, and combat is snappy.
Why it fits: If you are "bored with games lately," this is the cure. It’s short (10-15 hours), focused, and respects your intelligence without overwhelming you with systems.
4. The "Studio Ghibli" RPG: Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom
Unlike the first game (which was turn-based/Pokemon-style), this one is a full Action RPG.
The Vibe: Literally looks like a playable Studio Ghibli movie. Very wholesome story about a boy king building a kingdom where everyone can be happy.
The Gameplay: Fast hack-and-slash combat. You also have a light "kingdom builder" mode where you recruit citizens to your town, which is satisfying without being stressful.
Why it fits: It is impossible to be in a bad mood while playing this. The UI is stylish and clean JRPG standard.
A Reality Check on Your Waitlist
You mentioned Crimson Desert and Fable. You will need a game to bridge the gap because they are further out than you might hope:
Crimson Desert: Officially slated for Spring 2026 (likely March).
Fable: Targeted for Late 2026.
My Recommendation:
Start with Immortals Fenyx Rising. It hits that Fable itch of "British humor + Fantasy Action" better than anything else out there right now.
I can vouch for Amalur being great for escapist, power fantasy fun. Very DMC-lite meets Skyrim. You can do some extremely badass stuff in my, great weapons, amazing melee combat but very casual too. Chill and badass game.

King: Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning
Yeah I remember having fun with this game like 15 years ago. I was very fond of the Charkham in this game, feels great just throwing the blades or charging them
