Some all-time favorites:
Halo: All the weapons mattered, enemies were actually fun to fight, and it's also my main source of inspiration for level design and really everything.
The Longest Journey: When I see TLJ I think of The Longest Journey! It's a point-and-click adventure game from '99, very immersive world, cool characters, and... obtuse puzzles. I also like the modern sequels, Dreamfall: The Longest Journey and Dreamfall Chapters.
Tony Hawk: I don't find it challenging or that interesting to play anymore but these games inspired me to skate, and the secrets are fun to find. He's also a fun meme now.
Ittle Dew: Not a fan of Zelda knock-offs but this one has its own weird charm and identity. It also did optional puzzle rooms before BotW!
Seiklus: It was the first exploratory platformer game I've played. If you were making indie games back when MySpace was around you probably also played this game. It inspired Knytt.
Fable 2: I didn't care for the first one. The second one though! It was an RPG that was really about the role-playing, not numbers going up. I loved that the NPCs and towns were "simulated", even though it was completely pointless. Fable 3 was good too. Come back Peter Molyneux.
XCOM Enemy Unknown: This one made me really love tactics games. I also love Valkyria Chronicles (an anime third-person shooter crossed with turn-based tactics) and Xenonauts (a throwback to the original X-COM).
Gran Turismo 3 A-spec: This is still my favorite racing simulation game. The Forza games are good too but I can't stand the Top Gear people. I loved doing the driving tests and getting my car washed, not joking.
Ratchet & Clank (2016): This is my favorite Sony game on the PS4 (my second favorite is Everybody's Golf). I never played the original Ratchet & Clank, which this is supposedly a remake of. A perfect podcast game if you skip the cutscenes!
I'll think of more later!
