MODERATORS
Play a Fire Emblem game, they are really fun, i say Three houses or Awakening are good start to the series, also nerds say Final Fantasy Tactics and Ogre Tactics are really good so if you end up liking FE you will probably like those 2 too
Ogre Tactics is a long, difficult and complex game. It does not feel like childhood
I'd add the GBA games (Binding Blade, Burning Blade, Shining Stones) and the 3DS remake of Fire Emblem Gaiden to good starting places. Genealogy of the Holy War is also a really cool one that had me super immersed like I was a kid again (it was Japan only SFC but got English translation patches in more recent years).
Instead of Tactics Ogre, I'd maybe suggest Ogre Battle 64 (maybe the first one, too, but I'm less experienced with it), but I'm biased since this was a game I played a lot with friends as a kid. It has a RTS with auto battler system that's kinda unique.
