Ultima IV !!! Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.
I played that on my Commodore 64 and waited a loooong time for the (actually floppy) disk drive to spin up.
I bet most people here don't know any of the Ultima games.
In no particular order:
Hylics 1/2
Half Life 1
Myst
Jet Set Radio Future
Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
Factorio
Doom II (heavily modded)
OpenRCT2
Voices of the Void
The Sims (I like the series as a whole, I feel like each game has its own pros and cons)
Football Manager phone versions.
All on Windows XP:
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Max Payne
Max Payne 2
Aliens Versus Predator 2
Half Life
COD 1,2 and 3
Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
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.
Elden ring
Borderlands 2
Pokemon emerald
Fallout 4
Monster Hunter world
Chivalry II
Gears of war 2
PUBG
Escape from Tarkov
Call of duty: World at war
Roughly in that order
This is off the top of the dome and given more time I'd probably change this significantly, but here's 10 of my favorites from a multitude of genres:
(Those are pretty firmly my top 3, all totally mindblowing experiences that surprised and awed me multiple times)
Honorable mentions for Guilty Gear and Tekken as series, and I have a special place in my heart for the 2000 title Sacrifice, which is my eternal top pick for a remaster/remake.
R360

GTI club
VideoPoker
Coin pushers
Fussball
