I ran out of brain but maybe I’ll add more when I wake up.
After all these years, Flatout series (made by Bugbear) just got new updates: workshop support, steam cards etc. some devs are just different and rare in today’s gaming world.
The biggest drawback that may offset the enjoyment of a lot of the 90s JRPG are the random encounters, and the “wait for bars to fill” systems that makes nothing happen for long periods of time by either side.
You can get that free as Ur Quan Masters that has been ported to modern operating systems, with optional new renditions of the music that are pretty good.
Many of the old Sierra and Dynamix adventure games are great. Kings Quest IV through VII are probably the ones that hold up best. The adventures of Willy Beamish, Heart of China, Police Quest and Space Quest.
