This is really niche, but I love drawing maps manually on first person dungeon crawlers. The Etrian Odyssey series is fhe quintessential example of this, and it in itself is a modern reinvention of the old days when you would use pen and paper to draw the map of a dungeon when games were so unforgiving that they did not give you any map at all.
Etrian Odyssey gives you an on screen map, but you get to mark where certain things are between your runs.
The whole thing gives me the same type of feel as manually keeping score of a baseball game. Kind of a lost art.
