Any era, doesnt matter. I just want to know of games where the actors knocked it out of the park.

I don't remember the actors names but here are characters and the games whose voice acting left an impression on me:

Alistair and Morrigan from Dragon Age Origins
Both leads from Firewatch
Lee from Telltale's Walking Dead Season 1
Most of the main characters from Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2
The voices from Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice
Astarion from Baldurs Gate 3 was head and shoulders above the rest, although the narrator was also very good
Troy Baker knocked it out of the park as Indians Jones in the great circle
All of the Uncharted games have fantastic voice acting. Nolan North was born to play Nathan Drake
Similarly, the voice acting in The Last of Us is fantastic
In the mass effect OT, special callout to Jennifer Hlae and Mark Meer (the latter especially grew into the role in the second and third game) and also to the actors who voices Garrus and Tali.
