Games for players with low skill

I've been playing video games since before I could read, but growing up with skylanders and minecraft doesn't really give me "gaming skills." I'm tired of making chauvinists feel justified by absolutely sucking at video games. At the same time, I just played Elden Ring for an hour and I was so bored by how difficult it was. What's a game that's not too hard to get into, but will still improve my skills?
