Need a hobby. NO ability to run/jump/fight (fingers just don't work like that). Advice on easy adventure or puzzle games to start with and more complex ones eventually? LOVE to get lost in a good story --- Thanks!

Have a look at Captain Toads Treasure Tracker.

I've heard Gris is a very straightforward but visually stunning platformer but I have never played it.

You could also look at the two Mario + Rabbids games which are turn based.

These aren’t on switch, but the Mario and Luigi games would be fun.

Gris is a great one as it's a game that's designed so that you literally can't lose. It does have a few twitchy sections here and there, but failing them won't set you back much and the main point of it is that playing the game will tell you a story.

In similar vein I'd also recommend The Last Campfire and Spiritfarer.

Animal Crossing, Mario Kart has adjustable difficulty and is set up do a one can enjoy. Same with Super Smash. Mario Golf is fun too.

Ace Attorney series is a really good one. It's a visual novel + puzzle game and pretty much every game in the series is available on the Switch. The Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy is a good starting point.

One of the best two-hour puzzle experiences I've had recently.

Yeah, that's a great game. I'd also recommend its predecessor Human Resource Machine and Baba Is You, which is in similar vein.

+1. I finished quite a few levels of 7BH, but I'm kinda stuck on the last level. LOL.

Hey. How about World of Goo? I played that on Wii and noticed it is available for Switch.

If you have NSO you can try the Fire Emblem games that are there. Any old school jrpg like Dragon Quest.
