I haven't tried it yet but Umamusume apparently is fun and even got a reward for ongoing game or smth at GOTY.
~~Not anime girls, but cookie run kingdom is fun, has a great story, doesn't cost an arm and a leg to have fun, and lets you easily collect the old characters that you missed, high ranks included~~
There is no good gacha. But at least Mahjong Soul only uses it for cosmetics, so I guess that.
I’d go with Wuthering Waves and Zenless Zone Zero. Those two probably have over 100 hours of main story and character stories to play through. Where Winds Meet is new and popular. Haven’t played much but it seems good
The Danmachi game recently went offline forever. They released a standalone version to play at home. I'm told its tuned to be a bit more fun and you can get all the stuff. Not sure if its been mirrored somewhere.

NIKKE if you like looking at jiggly asses with a pretty decent lore (~~Disclaimer~~ Disclosure: I'm the moderator of !nikke@lemmy.world).
BrownDust 2 if you like to constantly ask yourself "How is this still allowed on the app store?"
Blue Archive if you like cute and funny girls.
Girls' Frontline 2 if you like cute and sexy girls holding guns.
Edit: Changed Disclaimer to Disclosure.
For me the best ones were Final Fantasy Brave Exvius and Love Live School Idol Festival. Currently playing Umamusume Pretty Derby and it's fine but it's kinda brutal if you're trying to catch the meta as F2P.
Also gacha games are fine at launch (and maybe just before they close the doors forever). Other than that they're just whalefest, especially if they're popular.
No idea how long I'm gonna stick to Umamusume but I feel it won't be years.
Are you looking for story or gameplay? Chaos Zero Nightmare is relatively new and is a roguelike deckbuilder with really good gameplay. Lots of synergies, lots of combos, lots of variations of every card letting you craft very specific decks that can make almost anything work if you just get lucky with finding just the right pieces and upgrades during a run.
The story is ass though (but at least there is a fast forward button) and some of the character designs do make me roll my eyes with how absurdly gooner-baity they are.
