Oh that was fun! I got the demo with a graphics card back in the day. Would never have heard of it otherwise.
My sister and I used to play this when we were kids in co-op and competitive mode and it was a blast! Probably one of our first videogames and it was kind of "Our game." I just recently found out it was made by the same guys that made jungle strike and desert strike back in the nineties and I've been itching to play it again.

No Man's Sky. Fight me.
Talk about a game with an amazing redemption ark. I played it on release, realized how shallow it was and put it down after maybe 5 or 6 hours. Fast forward a year or so and I heard it had significant updates. I was amazed when I picked it back up.
I play it again every year or so and am always impressed that they keep adding things to this game. Such a rare occurrence that a game that flopped so hard could really turn it around.
It's not a 10/10, but to call it anything but a labor of love would be unfair to the developers at Hello Games, including Sean Murray. That man received a ton of shit on the release of the game but didn't take his money and run. Last I checked he's still there and that says something to the character of that group in my eyes.

Made with love, but definitely has its flaws, so don't know about forever.

Planescape: Torment does it for me.
More lines of dialogue than all of Shakespear's works? Sign me up for that kinda RPG, lol.
Though these days some good voice actors can do a lot, looking at BG3 here, at least the voice casting.
Zork. Everything else is wrong.
Wonder if he's played the PS2 LotR games, they were good
I mean, they were definitely enjoyable. But I’m unsure if they meet the qualities of OPs post lol
Bloodborne
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.

EverQuest.
Surprised no-one pitched Elite:Dangerous. Certainly a labour of love to begin with, incredibly talented sound design, first space sim to VR, truly devoted to the original material... Still going pretty strong (had a few weak years) with updates (only 2 DLC-ish major updates of which were paid) a decade later...
Suikoden
A lot of good suggestions but my first thought was Final Fantasy X.
It's weird that Deus Ex isn't in this thread yet. Such a well made game with quite a few prophetic moments.

The Stick of Truth, obviously.
Semi-jokes aside, I am a bit sad that not a single person mentioned the first four Silent Hill games. The sheer influence that series had on video games as a whole, especially in the horror genre cannot be overstated. But I guess it is tricky with games because everyone has different tastes and interests. It is rare that games unite people the way lord of the rings did. Gaming is at once so broad and so niche.
