I'm not talking emotional games about working out parental trauma, I need shit to play past my bedtime while drinking soda and eating pizza. I last did this with diablo 3, and I wish to revisit the headspace

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.
