oh god there's so many i can think of:
Number one Favorite is absolutely Celeste. Ive honestly never was big on platformers before playing this and going into it i didn't think i would like it, but i was dead wrong. Story is great, the controls feel great and are simple but lots of tech to learn if you want more complexity, level design is great, the game never feels too difficult, it all feels doable, just hard. The soundtrack alone i could rant about for a while, its just so much good and so much replayability. Also attribute this game to cracking my egg so thats just bonus points, but even without that it's still my favorite game
Other Favorites in No Particular Order
Minecraft - Ive played this game for i think 11 years now? Fun with friends, fun solo, alot of gamemodes, good soundtrack (especially with 1.8 and 1.9 adding more music and getting Lena Raine to compose some of it). I don't play it as much anymore but still often. There's also mods and modpacks to add more content or grindier (I like making the game somewhat grindier) and while im thinking about it here Create also deserves a shout out, its a great mod. I've been playing through Create: Astral and it's definitely given me time to appreciate how good Create is. My only complaint is i can never get people to play modpacks, and i would love to have people to play modpacks with.
Slime Rancher 1 and 2 - Super chill game, great soundtrack. Just mellow vibes where you keep slimes in pens and make money off their poop. Great game to just de-stress and vibe with. Its cute, its got a good atmosphere, and they are both just solid games to kinda turn your brain off and have a good time in.
Beat Saber - I get to swing my arms around and break blocks while listening to music, not much more to say than its just fun to wave my arms around like spaghetti noodles.
Magic The Gathering - Turning away from video games for a sec, i like Magic The Gathering mostly because it's easy to get friends together to play with and hang out and have a good time together. I mostly play EDH so games go on for quite a bit, but i like it mostly for the social hanging out with friends.
Warframe - Speedy Robot Death Machines. Grindy. Free to play and everything is earnable except for some cosmetics. It's a blast.
Slay The Spire - Roguelike Card Game with lots of replayability, variety, and challenge. Different classes as well, as well as some extra fun variations via daily modifiers or modifiers generally. Has a good modding community that also just gives more content to play with. Also The Silent is in this game and they are the best.
DND - Same reason i like Magic, hanging out with friends but also it just becomes a good cooperative storytelling mess. The DM of our group also kinda just goes with whatever so scenarios get really crazy and chaotic really fast.
Honorable Mentions Mostly Games I liked but aren't that replayable to me, no explanations just wanted to give them a shoutout
Ori and The Blind Forest, Ghostrunner, Wuppo, Super Lesbian Animal RPG, and Forager.
