Have you ever tried playing D&D with pen,paper & dice? ei. tabletop with friends (if you had any into that sort).
I tell you a good GM, and a well planned campaign... it can be a good time.
Even if you wait turns :) 

I have, not really my cup of tea but it was fun to try out with friends, for some reason though with video games my brain doesn't work that way, I find it feels too restrictive and passive. I have tried many times to "get into" turn based games but the dopamine just doesn't flow.

Are you not into any board games? Like even chess? Or any card game? In my opinion turn based games either RPG, 4X games or simulators are not about the action, they are about the strategy

They are the best games, in my opinion, for the same reason why chess is so good, because they challenge your intellect instead of your reflexes and muscular memory. They are games with interesting theoretical and mathematical components that are amazing to study and break down into pieces

Even something like Pokemon, which can be quite shallow on surface, has a surprisingly deep layers of strategy if you play competively
