Anon loves The Lord of the Rings
(sh.itjust.works)
EverQuest.
Surprised no-one pitched Elite:Dangerous. Certainly a labour of love to begin with, incredibly talented sound design, first space sim to VR, truly devoted to the original material... Still going pretty strong (had a few weak years) with updates (only 2 DLC-ish major updates of which were paid) a decade later...

Ohh that is a good suggestion. Its also FOSS, people should go and play it.
Recently tried out the extraction mod which was a very different play through.
The Yakuza series I guess? Granted I've only played zero, kiwami and kiwami 2, but it all seems to be completely sincere in its craziness. It doesn't appear to pretend to be anything more than it is.
Completely different genre but the Stabley Parable checks all of these.
100 years in the future and it will be just as perfect.
XCOM
I would have to go with the Panzer Dragoon trilogy on the Sega Saturn.
While the first title was, at its basics, a fairly simple on rails shooter it was more than the sum of its parts.
It had incredible art direction, a sweeping musical score, innovative world building and rock solid gameplay.
The second title built up on the first installment in every way to solidify it as one of the best titles of that generation.
Then came Panzer Dragoon Saga which evolved the series into a full blown JRPG that is still so unique and unlike anything else out there.
Team Andromeda's passion, dedication and innovation ensured each game was a new benchmark for Segas black box.
What I wouldn't do for a new installment by the original team.
Minecraft. Star Fox 64. Pokemon Stadium.
A lot of good suggestions but my first thought was Final Fantasy X.
Skyrim
The ArmA series by Bohemia Interactive.
Wonder if he's played the PS2 LotR games, they were good
I mean, they were definitely enjoyable. But I’m unsure if they meet the qualities of OPs post lol
The Stick of Truth, obviously.
Semi-jokes aside, I am a bit sad that not a single person mentioned the first four Silent Hill games. The sheer influence that series had on video games as a whole, especially in the horror genre cannot be overstated. But I guess it is tricky with games because everyone has different tastes and interests. It is rare that games unite people the way lord of the rings did. Gaming is at once so broad and so niche.
