For me it was minesweeper clones. I got frustrated one day and decided to learn how to be good at minesweeper. After beating the medium and large boards a couple times I looked on Steam for minesweeper versions, and turns out there's a whole genre of clones. Some of them are direct clones of the game, while others are very heavily inspired by minesweeper. The two best I played were Hexcells and Tametsi. Hexcells is stylish and is only hexagons (as opposed to the minesweeper squares), while Tametsi has squares, rectangles, and hexagons and is a lot more barebones. However I found Tametsi to be much harder. There were some levels on there that took me an entire day, and I think there's like 500 levels.

16 bit RPGS. Not a genre I'm typically a fan of, but I'm playing Chained Echoes on Steam Deck and now I can't get enough and I'm sitting here waiting impatiently for Sea of Stars.

Steam Deck is so good for these kind of games. Also having a look at Sea of Stars, looks pretty cool.

Sea of Stars is jumping straight to the top of my To Play list once that drops. I've heard great things about Chained Echoes too. I should make some time for it.
