Anon loves The Lord of the Rings
(sh.itjust.works)
Half life and half life 2
Without a doubt the Witcher games, and Baldur's Gate 3. Probably Dragon Age too, but I haven't played those.

Definitely not 2. Not for lacking of passion, though. They just didn’t pull it off.

A genuinely heart warming story that deals with strong themes of love and friendship in a way that made a genuine impact?
Undertale.
Positively nuclear take, but 100% valid

red dead redemption 2 is missing from a lot of these
Game was truly a masterpiece
Super Metroid
Morrowind ?
Age of Empires 2, despite being Microsoft owned, is easily one of the best strategy games of all time and has very clearly stood the test of time. It's over 25 years old and people kept playing it a lot even before the HD remakes. I remember reading that the folks that made the 1st game often had to choose between "actual history or hollywood history" for some details, often going for hollywood because it made for a more fun experience.
I suspect Factorio might stand the test of time as well, and it's clearly something made by someone who really understands the medium. I haven't begun my factory yet.

No Man's Sky. Fight me.
Made with love, but definitely has its flaws, so don't know about forever.
I can't think of a single piece of art that doesn't have flaws.

As far as labors of love go, Stardew Valley is probably the most current example. People paid for this thing years ago, but Concerned Ape keeps adding new features anyway. The retro graphics give this thing a timeless quality out of the box, so it already looks "dated" - this hasn't stopped the robust player community around it. We'll probably see this game stay relevant for a long time.
And that's before you start talking about modding the game.
The amount of mods for this game is insane. From simple QoL stuff through to full expansions.
No replay of the game ever has to be the same.

Has he not heard of Ocarina of Time?
Dwarf Fortress.
Strike the earth!
Objectively correct answer.
Terraria, amazing game that is still supported to this day, best 5€ I've spend on a game.
I'd argue there isn't one. Not on the scale of LotR. It cannot be overstated how unlikely it was that it happened the way it did.
The Witcher universe is nearly an identical type of Norse style fantasy, with elves, dwarves, and giants, and 3 is a long epic quest across 3 huge regions. One of my first thoughts when I first played was that it feels like LOTR meets Game of Thrones.

Zork. Everything else is wrong.
I always felt like Breath of the Wild was Lord of the rings animated by studio Ghibli the videogame.
I feel like BotW has some fundamental design problems with lots of repetitive content, an unsatisfying weapon-breaking system, and of course it lacks dungeons. The dialogue has a lot of words but very little to say. Don't get me wrong, the open world is breathtaking, but a lot was sacrificed on that altar.
