10 feels too little to condense 40 years of games.
My top 10 in decreasing order (the first series' games I listed individually to give due credit to these masterpieces):
- Chronicles of Myrtana: Archolos (Gothic universe)
- Gothic 2 + Night of the Raven
- Gothic 1
- Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 2, Fallout 1
- Mass Effect 2, Mass Effect, Mass Effect 3
- UFO Enemy Unknown (OpenXcom variant)
- Warcraft III + The Frozen Throne
- StarCraft, StarCraft II
- Unreal Tournament 2000 G.O.T.Y.
- No Man's Sky or Minecraft (contenders for 10th place)
In no particular order:
- Hero's Quest (from Sierra On-line)
- Valheim
- Fallout: New Vegas
- Skyrim
- No Man's Sky
- City of Heroes (can you believe it's legally back?!?)
- Red Dead Redemption II
- Planescape: Torment
- Stardew Valley
- Starfield
(I'm sure that last one will raise some eyebrows, but I've already got over 1k hours in it since launch. For all its faults, it scratches some itch of mine just right.)
I have not kept up with gaming much for the past decade, so my list is going to be very dated. In no particular order:
- Starsiege: Tribes (Tribes 2 gets an honorable mention)
- EarthSiege 2
- EverQuest (very begrudgingly, but it did kick the era of MMORPGs into overdrive, and I was addicted to it for almost a decade)
- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
- Mass Effect Legendary Edition (I'm counting the trilogy as a single game)
- X-Wing Vs. Tie Fighter
- Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe
- Cities: Skylines
- Star Trek Online (only because of storylines)
- Battlefield 1942
No console games on my list, because PCMR! :P
[Edit] Almost forgot Star Control 2!
I have a whole separate list for arcade games.
- Mortal Kombat (including only 1, 2, and 3. Hated 4 with a passion.)
- Virtua Fighter 2
- Killer Instinct 1 and 2
- Marvel Vs. Capcom
- Super Street Fighter II Turbo
- X-Men (1992 side scroller)
- NBA Jam
- Tekken 3
- Daytona USA (really reaching here)
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time (struggling to get the list to 10)

Ultima IV !!! Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.
I played that on my Commodore 64 and waited a loooong time for the (actually floppy) disk drive to spin up.
I bet most people here don't know any of the Ultima games.
Boom Blocks - Wii - top of my list. Not because it's a good game, but because my kids and I had uproarious hours spent playing it together.
Video game I have not yet figured out the name of. It came out in 1986(ish?) and it had a robot/cyborg in a kind of metroidvania level set. Macintosh.
Doom, the original. Scared the PISS out of me. Then I played it hardcore after that. Doom II came out and I set up LAN parties and opened up my nascent IT outsourcing business for those.
Helldivers 2 - Honestly, I haven't actually engaged with a game this hard for decades.
Senua's Sacrifice - This game helped me considerably, in understanding the people I love.
Doom 2016 - What's not to like. It's perfect.
Starcraft II - When it came out. Excellent weaving of story and gameplay.
HI-FI Rush - Unexpected fun.
Zork - I would have never expected this level of amazing story telling this many years ago.
I know I am short of 10, but I can't think of anything else.
