I've had a lot of fun with Fire Emblem if that sort of strategy game is your thing. Feels pretty rewarding if you play it with the original settings (characters who die stay dead) and make it out of a level without losing anyone on your side. You have to micromanage a little and make sure everyone is equipped right and such before battles but it's not too tedious and may be a bonus to some.
Also Phoenix Wright if you're ok with less intense gameplay and more into an intense story and playing detective/lawyer. I'd watch some youtube playthroughs of these to make sure before you bought 'em though.
