A lot of games can be role-playing games if you want them to be, you can restrict yourself and play in the manner you want.
Like sure you can go in guns blazing in a game but you could also choose to role-play as an assassin, be slow and methodical, you don’t have to use all the mechanics they give you.
In my experience the quality is just fine on duckduckgo.
It’s a bit different because they aren’t tailoring based on all the data google has about you but it’s still good.
