A free student game called "Nitronic Rush", and then "Distance" when the devs were able to expand it into a bigger game
Basically you drive a car with rockets and shit all around it (and also it can jump and fly, because of course it can), so you can boost yourself forward but also control your pitch and roll and stuff and press yourself down as well, and you have to race on tracks filled with buzzsaws, lasers, etc. while also using those rockets to flip your car around and jump to roads that are sideways or upside-down. It takes some getting used to, but once you have the hang of it it feels so good to be dodging obstacles and doing what feels like a cross between car parkour and air acrobatics
...I still have such fond memories of practicing the hardest tracks of Nitronic Rush over and over until I knew every twist and turn by heart, but nobody ever seems to have heard of it, or Distance for that matter
Shadow of Rome on the ps2. Still hope for some kind of remake by capcom
It’s hardly ever mentioned in general gaming communities but I have to give a shout out to Squad. Probably my favorite multiplayer shooter ever. The best moments in that game make you feel like you’re in a movie, and the teamwork/communication is unparalleled.
Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy on PS2. It was an innovative third person shooter game where the player got telekinesis powers.
I don't remember if the story is actually any good, but the gameplay was really cool.
Cruelty Squad is that game for me, though it's recently gotten a huge surge in popularity after a big Youtuber released a vid on it last week that already has 3.7 million views. I highly recommend it to anyone who's not photosensitive.

I think Greedfall was really special. A fantasy take on the American colonies is right up my alley. It was a pretty cool game with a great concept from a small studio.
I'm so glad Greedfall 2 was greenlit and I'm excited to see what Spider(?) Can do with a bigger budget. It was a bit eurojank but if they manage to make it a full open world I'll be very happy.
