As i sadly have not found them here:
-Gothic (all three). One of the first non-us-centric and it showef
- giants:citizen kabuto. Weird genre-mashup that also was funny.
And a ton more I'm too lazy to list.

Ahh Reggie, I hear yer quite the man aboot toon
I remember having a demo for giants: citizen Kabuto, it was a weird and fun third person shooter. The thing I remember most is the initial quest giver guy and the way he would say "huuungry" something about it stuck in my brain

Civilization III and/or V
Edit: If you have lot's of time available.
I only play a certain part of games, I don't care for rpgs or top-down games as much as I like first person shooters, racing games, or simulation games.
With that being said, here's my list.
- Red Dead Redemption 2: The best game I have ever played, hands-down. It's story and gameplay are both perfection.
- Trepang2: A less heard of game, but a really fun first-person shooter which is like a mix of Crysis and Doom.
- Mafia 1 and 2: A great series with solid stories and gameplay, these are very enjoyable to play. Just don't buy Mafia 3. It's like if Ubisoft made a Mafia game.
- Arma III: A classic military simulation game which I spent hours on hours in. I love exploring the maps while engaging in realistic shootouts, especially with mods like ACE which make it even more realistic and immersive.
I will second your recommendation of Red Dead Redemption:2.
After hundreds of hours I know there are many things I have not encountered, it's amazing.
My wife, who does not game, watched me playing for the storyline only(like a movie/soap opera) and only complained about staring at a horses rear end occasionally.

Dead Cells. Factorio. Mini Metro. FTL.
-
Velocity 2x - extremely fun fast paced 2d space shooter & platformer. Is extremely rewarding when you start to get to good at it and learn the levels.
-
Muramasa Demon Blade/Rebirth - also really fun and satisfying skill-based combat game but with some light RPG elements. What I really love about it though is the sheer vibes. Set in feudal Japan with gorgeous artwork and sound/music. Great fun and a piece of art.
What platform? I can think of multiple must buys, but it really depends on the system.

Mass Effect Trilogy (legendary edition).
Which kind of games. From an Rpg perspective,
-
Alice is missing a silent Rpg, which is played using instant messenging. That one is absolutely crazy, with a lot of potential for bleed
-
Blade in the dark, which is basically the latest revolution in Rpg. And led to the FITD games, it kept the yes but partial success from previous generations of PBTA games, use long term actions (aka clock) for everything (same mechanics for opening a lock, seducing the princess or fighting a guard), and has this downtime phase which is more than just spending XP. It also has flashback mechanic letting you jump to the action and plan latter

Mork Borg, the system is fine but banal. However, the weird aesthetic makes it a must have in a rpg lover collection
Forged in the Dark games are great; I haven't gotten to play Blades, but I've run some Scum & Villainy (which is a space opera setting: think Star Wars meets Firefly), and it's probably my new favorite system
MorkBorg is fun for the aesthetic, but the combat always seems to just drag on, with round after round of damage getting blocked by armor. On the up side, the rounds go really quick.
To give something that most likely has not been mentioned: Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. The character banter is the best I've encountered in any video game thus far.
Voices of the Void.
Oh, wait. It's free right now??? Go get it!
So many tedious recommendations when the answer is obviously heaven's vault.
It's dogshit in almost every way. Even moving around the world feels like pouring salt into your eyes. I hate almost every single thing, the protagonist, the pace, the awful vehicle sections to travel. But it's something you should play, or perhaps experience.
It's an archeological translation game and there are multiple moments of "Ok so maybe that actually means font of life not mother goddess, but that would mean this means artificial god which would mean that the extinction event was actually transcendence and holy shit..."
- Factorio
- Return to obra dinn
- Skyrim
- Chrono Trigger (must pirate because SNES is best)
- Papers please
- Enter the Gungeon
- Cuphead
- Slay the Spire
- Subroutine
- Medieval 2 Total War (bit aged with mods to fix)
- Warcraft 3 and/or StarCraft 2 (for the campaign)

Doom 1993/doom 2. Decades of gaming since it came out and STILL nothing has beat the tactile sound of the super shotgun paired with the moans of demons collapsing. Absolutely amazing. though I only have 100+ hours in these 2 games combined they are a must play.
Closest I can think of is the engineers plasma gun in Deep Rock Galactic which is my #2 must play game. Its SO fun and a successful grapple + special powder x2 + grapple + skull crusher to get into a nitra vein when the engie isn't around is so incredibly satisfying. 1700 hours shows I love it so much.
Minecraft. Need I say more? rough estimate as a lot hasn't been tracked but 1500 on switch and 153 days on prismlauncher is around 5,000 hours in this silly block game.
EDIT: didn't expect the variety of games in this thread, very interesting
