Depends highly on grammar knowledge. This topic is often posted here, so searching for this tipic might be helpful. Otherwise, Ni no Kuni is usually recommended.
I was surprised to learn that Atelier Ryza has a nice chat log with an option to replay audio line-by-line. I haven’t counted but it holds quite a few lines of dialogue before they start disappearing, maybe 30 or so? I never see people recommending it but I’m considering restarting it in Japanese after learning this. There’s no furigana but replayable audio on top of the story seeming pretty simple makes me want to give it a try. I’m in the same boat as you so I can’t really say how arduous it will be but the story feels like very approachable fantasy/slice of life with no wild politics or plot devices. Might be worth a look!
Genshin impact in Japanese is good fun although you’ll have to deal with all sorts of dialect and ancient speaking methods!
I feel like Stardew Valley would be good
Try visual novels, games with gameplay may hinder you.
Pokemon games have little vocabulary but a lot of dialogues, maybe it can be a good starting point
