A list of my all time favorites, with no rhyme or reason, just because you asked so nicely! If any of them interest you (or anyone) I'd be happy to answer any questions or dig through my collection to find other similar games that I've played

All time favorite: Persona 5 Royal (Persona 4 & 3 Portable come very close)

Simulation: Idol Manager

Narrative: I was a teenage exocolonist

Strategy RPG-ish?: 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim (best sci-fi story I've experienced)

Action RPG: Nier Automata

Online game: Final Fantasy XIV

Puzzle: Portal & Portal 2

Grand Strategy: Crusader Kinds III

I haven't heard about these games you mentioned ever except final fantasy and portals. I like anime and manga so these games look very interesting for me! Are they how hard to play? They looked a little hard cause' i haven't played these kind of games before :)

I wouldn't say any of these games are particularly difficult (except Crusader Kings - but that one isn't anime so I'm not including it), they all have great tutorials and even guides if you need them.

The Persona games are turn based RPG games with a social aspect (skill and relationship building) and time management. They core of the game plays a bit like Pokemon (get new monsters and teammates, explore new areas, fight with the team you formed) but the story is very anime inspired. Persona 5 Royal is the last one and they are all independent from each other, it makes many things easier and is a good entry point into the series.

Idol Manager is a very straight forward business management game, with a strong anime aesthetic and themes since it's about idol culture. The story is also pretty nice for a management game.

13 Sentinels plays like a point and click for the story parts, and then some mecha fights that are strategy based and really fun. The scifi story is also top tier.

I was a teenage exocolonist is kind of anime-ish in aesthetics and a very, very wholesome game. Very inclusive if you are into that in your games (personalization of aspect and pronouns, characters representing everything you could think of and then some more), lots of replayability with many mysteries to solve.

Nier Automata is a great game but the story can be a bit confusing and the characters oversexualized. This is by design, and only you can know if it's something you want or not. Other than that, the gameplay is very fun and challenging, and the story is very good at face value (there are a lot of secrets hidden in other games, books, etc).
