Gotta be one of the Paradox strategy games. I have two reasons for this: the first is that a good game unavoidably takes ages on them, so they have staying power; the other is that I know how to mod them, so I can make myself new scenarios once I get fed up of it. I'll bring Crusader Kings 3 and Victoria 3 because I like them but haven't yet played them much
I'll add in Assetto Corsa and Dirt Rally 2 for some driving. Both have very high skill ceilings that I am nowhere near, so that gives me a lot to do. I also don't own a wheel, so if I get that as part of the deal then that'd be fun to try. These two also have an odd bonus for me: they both have courses set near my home. I can sort of visit them by playing when I get a bit homesick
Lastly I'll have Deep Rock Galactic for low effort shooty fun. I can't always be putting mental energy into games
There are games I like as much or more than these five but which lack the replayability for this scenario. Like I adore Outer Wilds, but you can only really play it once
RDR2, Skyrim, Fallout 4, Path of Exile 2, Tetris
One of them will have to be minesweeper because I can pretty much play it endlessly. The other 4, I'm not so sure. I love some of suggestions other people made.
