plastic toy games

videogames that either look/feel like or are diegetically framed as dioramas, game boards populated by toy models, etc. advance wars immediately springs to mind

In terms of aesthetic, does Yoshi’s Story count? Especially this level:

Not plastic, but the wooden block thing still strikes me as being very toy-like otherwise.

Hitman Go has a very good board game aesthetic

the Army Men game Portal Runner is like the opposite of this: take a game about toys and turn it into a…horny…fantasy game?

I remember renting Portal Runner! I don’t remember much about it other than it did not leave enough of an impression on me that made me want to play any more of it after I had to take it back.

Edit-I originally typed it Portal Hunter what kind of game does that sound like.
