This is at the top of my list along with Half Life (1998):
Vampire: The Masquerade- Bloodlines (2004)
I last played through this in 2014, 2016, and 2019. The most fun I've had is playing a Malkavian, some level of insanity makes for fun dialog. Even though I was a vampire, a haunted mansion that made me jump.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines on Steam

Vampire®: The Masquerade-Bloodlines™ delivers a new type of RPG experience-one that blends all the core elements of a traditional RPG with the graphical richness, immediacy and brutal combat of a first-person action game. The game plunges players into the dark and gritty vampire underworld of...

Warning if you buy it here, it needs to be patched to run. There is at least one thread in the Community Section about what needs to be done and where to get the universal patch. Otherwise it won't run on Windows 10.

Graphics are long in the tooth for 2022, but this game has tremendous
atmosphere and music.​

TOtally forgotten. I used to listen to my sister's Beastie Boys's cassette while beating the game. Good old times.

Super Mario 3, Super Mario World, and then Super Mario 64.
Each of the NHL games up to '96. Basically the same for Madden.
The original Mario Kart.
SimCity.

Man...there's so many. I could go on and on.

I know, I need a little smaller sandbox!

I'm thinking maybe just much older stuff for my lists, and anything I spent 1000s of hours on: Ultima I/II/III, those first few Zelda games (especially A Link to the Past), before they got all 3D graphics fancy

The early Sierra games, like King's Quest and Leisure Suit Larry

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is a gem! The storyline and the depth of choices in that game are incredible. Playing as a Malkavian brings such a unique flavor to the dialogue, right? It's like a rollercoaster of twisted fun. And haunted mansions in games always manage to get that heart racing. If you're into immersive, intense experiences, CS:GO 2 could be a great match too. The rush of competitive gameplay and the thrill of those CS2 skins could add a different kind of excitement to your gaming roster!

This game is one of my all time favorites, although it is dated now. The atmosphere, the music, the characters, the story, the voice acting, the radio commercials, Friggin’ Chicken! and Jeanette Voreman…even though she was stylized after Harley Quinn. I was playing a Malkavian Vampire, which I the dialog, and still scared while exploring the Ocean House Hotel.
