Anon loves The Lord of the Rings
(sh.itjust.works)
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.
There’s a recent one, Expedition 33.
Tight gaming for those who come after
Baldur's Gate 3
A lot of folks are listing their favorite games but this is the one that truly fits.
-
Unusually long development time by a studio known for DnD-simmiliar RPG games getting the next installation for the series that defined the genre.
-
Cast voice actors for several years, ones that are still playing their characters on a variety of platforms.
-
Just chock filled references to DnD lore, cute in-jokes, and faithful updates on old characters.
Everyone involved clearly loved it!
Unusually long development time
No joke, I installed the open-beta/pre-release years ago, played for a bit, and uninstalled it. When the actual release dropped, I had the most intense déjà vu about it all because I forgot that had even happened. I had to go back to my Steam library to puzzle it all back together.
It got people not previously interested in DND to actually enjoy DND.

Has he not heard of Ocarina of Time?
MarioCart :)
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.

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.

Zork. Everything else is wrong.
I always felt like Breath of the Wild was Lord of the rings animated by studio Ghibli the videogame.

Final fantasy 6 Chrono trigger Capcom vs SNK2 Soul Calibur 2 Super Mario Bros 3
These games all stand tall as giants of excellence decades after their release. Teams have already decent renowned executing at the peak of their genre with true craftsmanship and deep care into their design from mechanics to aesthetics to music to gameplay.
Regarding SMB3, I would recommend the remastered SNES version, part of Super Mario All-Stars.
Witcher 3 is pretty good
Elden ring
I'd go with Elden Ring too.
It's not everyones cup of tea, but the sense of wonder you feel as you explore the complex and intricate world is truly awe-inspiring. It's hard to believe how much high-quality content they were able to put into it, how well it works together, and how much discussion it has spawned.
I'm pretty sure it will forever stand as one of the greatest games of all time, for very good reasons.
Terraria
XCOM
XCOM: UFO Defense (1994)
It's by far the best version of XCOM. I mean. The graphics are as great, but it has all of the same features as the modern version (not joking), and I think the strategy is by far better. You can also have your own base that you have to defend.
Morrowind
