Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you'd expect from the Dragon Quest series. It made fantastic use of the DS's dual screens. It's also written for a younger audience, so a lot of it is just really silly and fun! Try it out for sure, I'm so sad there's no sequel :(

I really enjoyed a game called Project Eden back in the day. It was largely a puzzle game, and combat was rough, but it was 4 player co-op, grounded characters, and I liked the abandoned undercity aesthetics.

I don't know if that 'genre' would do very well today as it's very much a product of that era, but I still think back on it quite a bit.
