Satisfactory RDR2 Cyberpunk2077 Mass Effect trilogy Cities Skylines, GTA 5 Halo series then probably a bunch of simulators
I have not kept up with gaming much for the past decade, so my list is going to be very dated. In no particular order:
- Starsiege: Tribes (Tribes 2 gets an honorable mention)
- EarthSiege 2
- EverQuest (very begrudgingly, but it did kick the era of MMORPGs into overdrive, and I was addicted to it for almost a decade)
- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
- Mass Effect Legendary Edition (I'm counting the trilogy as a single game)
- X-Wing Vs. Tie Fighter
- Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe
- Cities: Skylines
- Star Trek Online (only because of storylines)
- Battlefield 1942
No console games on my list, because PCMR! :P
[Edit] Almost forgot Star Control 2!
I have a whole separate list for arcade games.
- Mortal Kombat (including only 1, 2, and 3. Hated 4 with a passion.)
- Virtua Fighter 2
- Killer Instinct 1 and 2
- Marvel Vs. Capcom
- Super Street Fighter II Turbo
- X-Men (1992 side scroller)
- NBA Jam
- Tekken 3
- Daytona USA (really reaching here)
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time (struggling to get the list to 10)
- Portal 2
- Shadow of the Colossus
- Gothic 2
- Mass Effect 2
- Uncharted 2
- Dragon Age Origins
- Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
- Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines
- The Last of Us
- Max Payne 2
In no particular order:
- Hero's Quest (from Sierra On-line)
- Valheim
- Fallout: New Vegas
- Skyrim
- No Man's Sky
- City of Heroes (can you believe it's legally back?!?)
- Red Dead Redemption II
- Planescape: Torment
- Stardew Valley
- Starfield
(I'm sure that last one will raise some eyebrows, but I've already got over 1k hours in it since launch. For all its faults, it scratches some itch of mine just right.)

Big shout out to SFA2, FFT:A/2, BOF series, Roadwarden.
10 feels too little to condense 40 years of games.
