No particular order, but it seems I hit quite a few different genres.
In no real particular order, games with highest impact on me:
Ground breaking at the time. Physics and gamespeed have never been captured by any other game. Consumed my free time for a long time.
2 counter strike
Simple concept, extreme depth. I've clocked several thousand hours into this franchise.
In terms of world building and story telling... Incredible.
Absolute masterclass in game design, world design. Puzzle design.. This is an incredible puzzle game that will shift your perspective.
I haven't found anything else quite scratch that replay ability, that tethering on the brink of losing, itch. It's a unique game.
Completely changed the way mmorpgs were played, and was a great mmo.
I wanted to mention a point and click, several spring to mind, but this still series lives in my mind the most. Although space quest is another that impacted my young brain.
Like... I was there since its debut. Still watching and enjoying mc related content.
Space is pretty big and cool
Getting back stabbed by the person you've been back stabbing for, so you join the enemies of your friends to be able to backstab your backstabbers.

Honorable mention for all of the Diablo's really, been playing them since the first one, and all of the Fallouts, playing since the 2nd. Shoutout to my X-Com homies.
In no particular order:
Honorable Mentions:
Boom Blocks - Wii - top of my list. Not because it's a good game, but because my kids and I had uproarious hours spent playing it together.
Video game I have not yet figured out the name of. It came out in 1986(ish?) and it had a robot/cyborg in a kind of metroidvania level set. Macintosh.
Doom, the original. Scared the PISS out of me. Then I played it hardcore after that. Doom II came out and I set up LAN parties and opened up my nascent IT outsourcing business for those.
Helldivers 2 - Honestly, I haven't actually engaged with a game this hard for decades.
Senua's Sacrifice - This game helped me considerably, in understanding the people I love.
Doom 2016 - What's not to like. It's perfect.
Starcraft II - When it came out. Excellent weaving of story and gameplay.
HI-FI Rush - Unexpected fun.
Zork - I would have never expected this level of amazing story telling this many years ago.
I know I am short of 10, but I can't think of anything else.
