I dont understand the appeal of these games frankly

Well, the genre of action RPGs is about a feedback loop of gameplay where you start off from a point of being a basic hero without much in the way of power of special abilities or gear, then build up that hero through a lot of battles where you power up your skills with experience and gear up inventory slots with randomly generated loot you find and try and mix and match to optimize your power against ever increasingly tougher foes as you progress through a campaign.

That simply may not be for you, and that's cool - but also in the modern era these games have lost the magic of what made them great in the early days. If you aren't completely incapable of playing older games, check out something like Torchlight 2 on Switch or Sacred 2 which I believe is on Xbox storefronts now. Titan Quest is another absolute king in the genre with some fairly recent additions for a game that came out around 2006 I believe? The Switch port is buggy as hell but still decently playable. The Steam version is great, I don't know how other console ports are.

Unfortunately it's getting harder to play some of the older entries, but GoG and steam still have a bunch of them if you can get them to run reliably on modern hardware.
