The Last of Us Part 2 has amazing voice acting. Part 1 as well, but the second game goes beyond.
Only Uncharted 4 feels close to that level (unsurprisingly, considering it's from the same studio).

The narrator in Indika. Or really anybody in Indika. Especially considering the English actors aren't even the original actors.
GTA San Andreas has a few good ones my Favorite Being AXL Rose as the DJ from KDST.
But many suprising actors in there : Samuel Jackson, James Woods, Peter Fonda and Ice T:

Jennifer Hale as FemShep in the Mass Effect series 1-3.
The voice acting in Tangle Tower (a point and click murder mystery game) is 10/10
I mean, the new Indiana jones is pretty incredible.
Disco elysium, any supergiant game (hades/bastion) logan cunningham my beloved, legacy of kain, parts of mass effect, bad company 2
Deep Rock galactic has some of my favourite voices and lines in it.
Alan wake is damn good
In terms of pure voice acting I think it's Date Everything. The game have a 100 different professional voice actors that want to seduce you.
I remember most of the super giant and double fine games having good voice acting. Jennifer Hale Femshepard from mass effect is a classic, and Matt Mercer does some great work with Edér and Aloth in pillars of eternity. Anything Keith David does is gold.
I don't play as many games as some of you, but Christopher Judge as Kratos is my favorite.

All of the actors for Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 were fantastic, but certain things stick with you forever.

Resident Evil on the PlayStation
Not necessarily the biggest roles but I've always appreciated:
-
The narrator in the original Medieval: Total War (intro for example). Set the mood.
-
Prophet of Truth in Halo 2.
-
Dunmer male voice actor for Morrowind.
The first and last especially set the atmosphere so well.

Hey c'mon! Get serious!
Powah wave! Kickbat! Kickbat! Kickbat! Burn-u knuckle!
(Let's add the announcer from the original Metal Slug games while we're at it. "Rawket Lawnchair!!!")
Not an actor, but the early voice synthesis was amazing the first times hearing it:

For me, one 2001 game is lodged forever in my mind, Hostile Waters
It's a great game, although sadly won't run on modern systems. And not strictly voice acting, more narration, but I've just re-watched the intro and Tom Baker's narration still gives me shivers.
Almost a quarter of a century since I first played it, the phrase "These are hostile waters" in Tom's voice still pops into my head from time to time.
The female player character in Outriders was surprisingly very good. With the right face and hair, it was like Bobby Draper from The Expanse.
Too bad the rest of the game was kind of meh.
