I'd say What Remains of Edith Finch. Would love to replay that without knowledge of the game again
The Last of Us, both of them. The gameplay is good and all, but it'll never really be the same as the first time.
Another I would add is the first Infamous, final boss fight. The reveal was great for an already great game.
Subnautica, Outer Wilds, Chrono Trigger, Wind Waker. In order: the first time I encountered a Leviathan, the Sun Station, the Ocean Palace, and returning to Hyrule.
So many....
Top I would have to say Witcher 3 OG game (though both DLC were amazing)
For a single boss....not for the 'wow' moments but more for the 'omg I finally did it!': one of the following from the Dark Souls series:
Black Dragon Kalameet (DS1)
Fume Knight (DS2)
Slave Knight Gael (DS3)
The original Deus Ex is always top of my list. I play through probably once a year and the dick around on multiplayer for a month or so after that.
So many but my favorite moment was my first playthrough of Skyrim. I had no idea what I was doing, my gear was just a hodgepodge of stuff I found and I just kept running away from dragons because I couldn't quite beat them. Then at one point I learned how to shield bash and realized I could interrupt the fire breath. I was still weak af, i had to run around and spam my weak heal spell...BUT...I was starting to win. I was going to take this one down damnit. The fight lasted so long that the music rolled into the main theme, and i was winning! I felt like a god damn hero. I wish I could forget it and do it all again.
For me it's Outer Wilds. It's a kind of space exploration/deduction game where you fly around in your ship at your own pace and explore what you want to explore. After a while you discover that there are small mysteries that all point to a central giant mystery and you start uncovering that by experimenting with the mechanics and discovering new places.
It's seriously amazing but you can only ever truly experience its mystery once.
TUNIC. The correct answer is Tunic. I do not know hiow to express how strongly I feel about this.
Elden ring with seamless coop and 3 of my friends. It would be insane discovering the whole game together at the same time.
The entirety of FFXIV: Shadowbringers, but especially the series of cutscenes leading up to the final dungeon and trial.
The Neifirst fight in Phantasy Star II.
Final Fantasy VII, end of disc 2.
I really wonder what experiencing that as an adult, rather than a 15 year old, would be like.
I don't want to spoil anything, but the final (true final) boss for Titan Soul really blew me away. I was so dialed and so stressed and somehow came through on top, I felt like a god.
Have you played Death's Door yet? If not, I would highly recommend doing so... for no reason in particular, of course. But do it.
I did and I reallllly enjoyed it :)))
The best decision I made was going into that not realizing quite what it was. Was absolutely blown away when the reveal hit me.
Yakuza series as the whole. I would do anything to experience it fresh once again.
I finished 0-6 last year and I can't wait to forget most of them in a few years to replay them.

People who understand will know this should be right up there with Chrono Trigger. Ryu Ga Gotoku is awesome.

The Witcher 3 story.
I have a couple gaming moments I would love to experience again for the first time:
Destiny 1 - The Taken King raid through and through. The atmosphere, the music, the sense of "what we're doing here really matters." Raids in Destiny have always been the best part of the game for me, but that one really holds a special place in my heart.
Bioshock - There's a moment in the campaign that I won't spoil, but if you know, you know.
Fallout 3 - This game was my first open world game, so it had a lot of lasting impressions on me. All the little side stories, side quests, lore, terminal entries, etc. I spent so many hours just reading terminal logs and learning about all these people that used to exist in this world. Up until that game, most games I played were an "on-rails" experience. This was a whole new thing for me: the idea of story being what I make of it, rather than what I'm told it is.
The Last of Us - In sort of the opposite to my reasoning for Fallout 3, this one is the best linear story of all time for me. It was just such a perfectly tailored experience, there's nothing like playing it for the first time.
Titanfall 2 - "Protocol 3" (if you know, you know)
Apex Legends - Launch day specifically, because they dropped it with no prior marketing or anything. Everyone was just running around trying to learn this brand new thing. It was my first BR I had any interest at all in playing. Unfortunately, it overstayed it's welcome for me, but launch day was something else.

The emotional roller coaster that was the end of Chapter 5 and beginning of Chapter 6 of Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Everything that went on during it solidified the game as my new favorite of all time.
The entirety of Outer Wilds was absolutely incredible.
The bosses of Splatoon 2's Hero mode and Octo Expansion immediately came to mind.
Oh, and Breath of The Wild!
The End from MGS 3 and Glock Saint Isshin from Sekiro
Oh and maybe half life 2
