Getting back into gaming, just installed Steam, what should I be buying that isn't a FPS?

Hey guys! I've not really played many games since I owned a PlayStation 1. I'm hipster retro in that my mega-drive still gets the most use. But i've just installed Steam and i've got some gaming bucks to spend and was wandering where I should start because... I don't like FPS.

Adventure, racing, RPGs ( but not MMRPGs ) i've always liked more. Any suggestions?

Torchlight, Bastion ,Terraria, Maybe portal 1 or 2? but that is an fps. Those were just the first few that i thought of. There are plenty of other great ones too

Renegade Ops is a pretty fun game. Comes cheap too. Not AAA-priced.

Isn't Dead Island considered a FPS? Or more of a first person melee swing fest? haha

I would suggest Civilization IV, and maybe the original Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War. Those have taken the most hours away from me.

The Binding of Isaac, Limbo, Magicka, (and even though not a steam game) minecraft if you haven't already got it.
