For example, I am terrible at Super Meat Boy, but just playing it has really improved how I play platformers and games that need faster imputs overall.

The original Driver on PS1 made me better at handling cars in general, both in video games and real life. It's a shame GTA and Saints Row went with exaggerated vehicle physics and the Driver series never got the non-vehicular parts right.

Counter strike makes any single player shooter trivial. The best they can do for difficulty is make headshots not actually kill the target in 2 or 3 shots.

Platformers are easy after super meat boy.

The original Deus Ex will train you to explore and scrounge for every bit of ammo. Making your skills from counter-strike even more valuable.

Apex Legends really honed my skills with shooters on keyboard and mouse. I always thought I was terrible at shooters. Turns out it was just the controller I was bad with. I always played with friends and it greatly helped our tactical communication and snap decision making skills too. We found out who the natural shot callers were and who can't be trusted to make the calls in a tense situation, lol

TF1, Q3 arena - at least for multiplayer.
