Pikmin (any instalments of the main series) - though I must admit I'm incredibly biased since this is coming from someone who cried her eyes out when she saw the Pikmin 4 trailer π yes I cried over a game trailer that's about weird bugs. It is my fave franchise ever it's like my baby.
Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild - this is a game that makes me wish memory wiping technology existed. I would love to play this for the very first time again!
Final Fantasy X - the first Final Fantasy game I played and it is still my fave!
Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Sunshine - the most fun I've ever had with 3D platformers by far, Super Mario Galaxy's visuals are still so impressive.
The first game I EVER played gets a honorary mention - Super Mario All Stars for the Super Nintendo! The very first game I played on it was Super Mario Bros 3! π
Tunic - at face value it is a gorgeous, brilliantly fun soulslike. Beneath the surface, however, it becomes apparent that the "souls like" part of it is a facade for the true game. Probably one of the single greatest gaming experiences of all time.
The Witcher 3 - it often goes on sale for like... Β£3 or something ridiculous, and its a standout example of an excellent open world RPG.
Celeste - possibly the single greatest (2d) platforming game ever made, with a soundtrack that is truly unforgettable by the great Lena Raine. Also if you play it you'll find out you're trans*
*(your mileage may vary)
I will always say TUNIC in these threads. One of the best gaming experiences of my life.
I'm a similar vein, Outer Wilds is also excellent.
There definitely different experiences. But, they are both a "go in blind and just explore" kind of game.

Xiii shooter (original on PS2, not the remake)
Metal Gear Solid 1, 3, and 4. 2 is okay but it's the black sheep. 5 is a good game but doesn't fit the series great imo. We don't talk about Survive. Revengence is okay.
Maneater. Basically a remake of the old Jaws game from PS2 era gameplay-wise
FF7 original. If you're bored with it, try the New Threat mod by SegaChief. Absolutely worth a look.
If you're into pokemon rom hacks, Emerald SeaGlass and Crystal Legacy.
Crash Bandicoot 1-4. Ignore any titles from PS2 era.
Spyro 1-3. Also ignore any PS2 era titles.
Castle Crashers
If you have a non-gamer around that does like movies, give Beyond: 2 Souls and Until Dawn a look.
Spec Ops: The Line
Doki Doki Literature Club
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 1 + 2
I'm sure I'll add more.
I donβt feel Spec Ops: The Line aged well at all. I had it on my to-play list for years and finally got around to playing it. I was rather disappointed in what I experienced. The gunplay and cover system is middling at best, and the story wasnβt anything like the hype led me to believe. Graphics are also way behind its contemporaries. It may have been groundbreaking when it came out in a very pro-war, pro-military time, but it wasnβt anything special by the time I played it 2023. I finished the game wondering what people felt was so special about it. The lack of decision making removed impact from what my character was doing, namely the infamous white phosphorus part. You canβt advance the game without performing the worst possible action, which is the only thing to do at that point in the level. Lame.
Music was good but overall I felt it was a 6/10 game. I think watching YouTube commentaries on the game is much more enjoyable than actually playing it.

Katamari! It's just such a wild and fun experience. Even the sequels.
Nier Automata: It's a game that uses every aspect of the medium. From the story, the music, game play, even the end credits, it feels like they took such care in crafting a memorable experience and didn't let anything they could use to express themselves go to waste.
What Remains of Edith Finch, specifically Lewis' chapter. I think it's an excellent portrayal of how incedious and overwhelming depression can be.
Telltale's the Walking Dead (first one only): I was not prepared for the story. I wish they took the same care in the sequals, but I feel like the quality of the first one just came out of nowhere.
Any Monster Hunter. I just think it's neat.

Recommending the obvious GOAT titles is getting kinda old now so I'll go with my personal favourite genre right now: roguelikes.
In that genre, my favourite of all time are the Darkest Dungeon franchise, Slay the Spire, Loop Hero, Vampire Survivors and Dead Cells.

Absolute Balderdash. It's the most replayable and funniest board game with a crowd. I've hurt my ribs many times through laughing too much.

Vintage Story.
It's indie Minecraft-alike that expand survival element 100 times. With various unique lore and semi-realism gameplay.
Currently playing Fallout New Vegas and it's probably the best "Bethesda" game I've ever played.
Except for Morrowind, of course.

As i sadly have not found them here:
-Gothic (all three). One of the first non-us-centric and it showef
- giants:citizen kabuto. Weird genre-mashup that also was funny.
And a ton more I'm too lazy to list.

Velocity 2x - extremely fun fast paced 2d space shooter & platformer. Is extremely rewarding when you start to get to good at it and learn the levels.
-
Muramasa Demon Blade/Rebirth - also really fun and satisfying skill-based combat game but with some light RPG elements. What I really love about it though is the sheer vibes. Set in feudal Japan with gorgeous artwork and sound/music. Great fun and a piece of art.
