Splintercell Chaos Theory.
Good lord...
God damn it, Fisher!
TUNIC. It is such a unique game with such a unique puzzle that I don't think it can be replicated.
Figuring that shit out felt like brain magic

I agree with so many here, but I have a new one.
Dredge.
It just seemed like a fishing simulator, but it got creepier as it went on. Definitely an ending I didn't expect. That may have been me just getting too into finding every fish.
Great gameplay loop and played on steam deck excellently.
Honestly, I had completely the opposite experience with Dredge.
The first few days in the game feel truly scary, with your terribly slow ship, and every strange light in the darkness is terrifying. Those initial quests with the pulsating wet package are creepy, and you wonder where that's going to lead, and what storyline will come from that.
But then, you get a few engine upgrades and there's suddenly not a single danger in the game you can't easily run from. You're invincible and the whole ocean is your oyster. The pulsating package was just a bit of flavour and nothing comes of it at all - in fact the quests in the game are almost entirely plain fetch quests, totally shallow with very little real story. And while the ending gets interesting, it's all too brief.
Now don't get me wrong - I loved Dredge, actually! But I loved it as a cosy collect-em-all fishing sim, bombing around the ocean in your fun and zoomy boat, rather than the narrative-driven Lovecraftian horror the trailers made it out to be, which ultimately I felt it wasn't at all.
Still fun, though!
AC2
The Mass Effect trilogy for sure.
Oh shit! Mass effect! Forgot about that!
Outer Wilds. I never beat it, but I played through a lot of it. I went in completely blind, not knowing what it was, and my mind was blown away.
I wish I could experience all of it brand new whenever I go back to finish it up.
Outer wilds
Nier Automata
I first played it on the Switch because I didn't have a PC working then. Now I have my dream PC, and can't bring myself to play it again
Ninja Gaiden NES. I only have good memories from that game. When Super Mario Bros was the baseline, Ninja Gaiden was incredible. I played so much I could finish it on demand with barely any slips.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. A game of pure charm.
I used to habitually replay it every Christmas until one year it just felt too janky. They were supposed to be remaking it but the expected release date came and went without a word and now it's just vaporware.
A masterpiece. The entire game you have the sands and can rewind all of your missteps, only to lead up to one final, ridiculous platforming challenge where they take the sands away. Like the whole game was training you for that moment. Such a unique experience.
Just a shame the sublime platforming had to be continuously interrupted by repetitive fights! Still, I want to play it again now.
The correct answer to this question is always Outer Wilds.
It's a game that can be beaten in five minutes if you already know the solution. But the process of discovering that solution, and unearthing the incredible story around it, is one of the most unbelievable gaming experiences you will ever have.
It's an absolute masterpiece and if you haven't played it yet, you really, really need to.
Skyrim or Fallout New Vegas
Im almost not sure if I want that. Most of the games I would do that for are older games from like 25 years ago, and I honestly can't see playing them today and ever having those fond moments like I did then. In my case, the time of playing them also mattered a lot.
OUTER WILDS! If you've played it, you know why. (If you haven't, do not ask. Play it.)
Dark souls 1 maybe?
Or Bloodborne.
Maybe XCOM
Deus Ex sequels. I might need to play those again.
The last of us or bioshock infinite
Breath of the Wild
Portal. I played the whole thing on the first sit down as soon as it downloaded, but the audio had glitched so I missed the voice over. Missed a huge part of the experience.
Syberia
Surprised no one mentioned it
'Stanley examined the question carefully, he knew the answer he gave would be important'
Maybe the Stanley parable or the Beginners guide, but I'm not sure what undoing there effect on me would be.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team and/or Explorers of Sky
FixFox. A wholesome sci-fi adventure game with no combat that really hit me in the feels.
Shadow of the Colossus
Always Shadow of the Colossus, my favourite game ever.
Bioshock.
Would you kindly forget the Bioshock franchise?
