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.~~ 150 levels

City/settlement builders have been in heavy rotation. Cities Skylines, Frostpunk, Foundation and Timberborn all scratch a specific itch for me.

You gotta try Anno 1800. I think it’s the best the genre has to offer

I have tried some of the Anno series, including 1800. I'll admit they're not my favorite, but still fun if you're trying to get into the economics a bit more.
