For me it's still Anarchy Online after almost a decade since I played it last. The atmosphere in the game and community was amazing. After that I would say mass effect, rdr2 and the elder scrolls series

Immediately reading the title, Outer Wilds was the first to come to mind. There's nothing quite like it, and I wish I could relive the feeling of playing it for the first time again.
It reminded me a lot of Fallout new vegas
Interstate '76. I love the whole vibe of it.
I received Eternal Darkness for Christmas in 2002. I will NEVER forget the feelings that game inspired in me thanks to the unique "sanity" system and creepy lovecraftian atmosphere.
I remember my brothers and I huddled around the basement TV into the wee hours of the morning over our Christmas holiday totally creeped out but so driven to complete the story that we pressed onward.
What a fantastic game that was and I'm so grateful for those memories with my brothers. I don't think I've ever had such a deep connection with a game since.
This! I still talk about this game and how it liked to mess with the player when the character would lose sanity. The bugs on the screen, the fake overheat errors... beautiful!

Bioshock Infinite
Red Dead Redemption 2
The Last of Us (both parts). Just started a new play through of Part I. It truly is a masterpiece in storytelling
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. When I finished it I couldn't stop thinking about it for a couple of days. It was quite the experience, hearing the voices and learning to trust them. Factorio. The factory must grow.
Bloodborne has the most haunting atmosphere of any game I played and I haven't stopped thinking about it since I first played.

The original spyro playstation games
Oblivion has lived in my head since the moment I first played it back in 09. Finally started teaching myself how to make mods for it last year and now it takes up even more of my brain!
Mine has been FFXI, leveling my Black Mage (BLM) in valkrume dunes. The random people joining your party, the sheer fear of agroing the wrongs mobs, the music and the satisfaction of leveling up in such tough environment which took weeks. Reaching max level took months but you were truly an expert on the job.
I wish I could re-experience something like this but today's MMOs is all about the rush to the top.
Neon white was super fun, still working in 100% for the good ending.
I’ll never forget loading Myst on my performance 5200 and getting lost
Outer Wilds and Soma.
Both live pretty much rent free in my head since I played them.
