Rules: just pick 1 and explain why.

I've been playing since the NES and despite being from a low income family I had the luck of being able to play and own many consoles over the 3 decades of my life, plus some pc.

If you ask me right now? Resident Evil 4 (2005).

A before and after in gaming, to this day still extremely fun to play even for casuals but 20 years ago it was THE masterpiece. And everyone took notice of it, everyone played it, even players that didn't cared about resident evil. The gameplay was so good that it got photocopied by everyone right after in the action genre.

Arguably the last big innovator in videogames minus Minecraft and... PUBG (Fortnite did it better I know).

Try to NOT pick your favourite game, that's a different thing.

At 152GB: hitman 2

Really tho, tetris has been at the top for a while

Wait, you do by install size? What's the best game in the range 20-23GB, about what I have left on my SSD?

Tetris, many times

Runescape. It's been around for more than 20 years and still is one of the most active online games.

The next soulslike from FromSoft that doesn’t molest you with the camera. They proved it’s possible with shadow of the Erdtree.

Jokes aside, Slay is absolutely incredible. How a developer managed to make a strategy game as replayable as this before 2000, I don’t know.

RuneScape

I don't personally play it anymore but it having still players to this day and thriving proves it.

Edit: On second thought it's probably Java Edition Minecraft. Thing spawn an industry around it. Now people's livelyhood depend on it. A generation learning java programming just to make plugins or mods. I bet this also what increase the number of java developers. Probably inadvertently also introduced to Blender. Being accessable and sandbox made that possible.

Marathon, by Bungie. From the box it came in, to the hugeness of the spaceship, the coolness of the story, all the secrets, and the fan community that sprang up to research and theorize.

And then they made it open source so anybody could play it on any computer.

It's not favorite game to play any more, but it was the greatest game to me.
