I play through this one at least once a year. Timeless.

Hollow Knight for me fits this scenario to a t. I got it as part of a humble bundle, but couldn't get into it for at least a year as the initial part felt really depressing, and didn't at all grab me.
But once I managed to tough it through to greenpath, and started to get some power ups, it finally sunk it's claws into me. I proceeded to nearly 100% the game.
Super Mario Wonder. I got it at release as I came down with Covid and beat it 100% that weekend. Excellent experience, I just wish it was longer.
Either 2 and 3 or 3 and 7.
Free gravel is fantastic, a ton of practical things to be done with it and is otherwise expensive.
Teleporting 7 inches away is enough to get you past many barriers and walls, that's not insignificant. This seems the coolest to me.
Being able to determine if a container is empty or not seems pretty cool as well although I can't think of a good example of how this would be useful.
The rest are hilarious.
I love the idea of it, but it hasn't clicked yet. It never occurs to me to even tag things in order to leverage my notes as a mind map/second brain.
The absence of a clean means of using it from multiple devices and syncing between them without their cloud service is kind of disappointing. The git community plugin is godawful to set up on mobile/tablet, something native that handles git behind the scenes would be excellent.
Ultimately, what I'd like is obsidian but with the interface of confluence.
Both of those were game changers for me too. I had a PlayStation 1 memory card with just Squaresoft games. Absolute golden age.
For these though, I would alter the original question to be if I could relive playing this game for the first time at the time that I did. If I tried them for the first time now I'm certain I'd find both to be antiquated.
Stardew Valley or Terraria.
Awesome stuff. A nitpick I have about the page though is that if it's meant to be a highlight real of the properties of KDE that appeal to gamers, the section on classic games shouldn't be an exhaustive list, and might instead be a summary with some examples followed by a link to the larger catalog.
I was admittedly on the train with Marvel until End Game and thoroughly enjoyed it. I've since fallen off the MCU. I'll still catch Batman, but otherwise I'm on board with moving on.
I agree with your sentiment, I love it because it was my favourite game growing up, but I feel like it would be hit or miss for someone playing for the first time.
I'm playing it this weekend as well, STILL trying to hit 100+ super jumps.
