Baldurs Gate 3.
Age of Empires 2, despite being Microsoft owned, is easily one of the best strategy games of all time and has very clearly stood the test of time. It's over 25 years old and people kept playing it a lot even before the HD remakes. I remember reading that the folks that made the 1st game often had to choose between "actual history or hollywood history" for some details, often going for hollywood because it made for a more fun experience.
I suspect Factorio might stand the test of time as well, and it's clearly something made by someone who really understands the medium. I haven't begun my factory yet.

Has he not heard of Ocarina of Time?
I always felt like Breath of the Wild was Lord of the rings animated by studio Ghibli the videogame.
I only played it for maybe 4 hours. Does it have an epic story? I don’t recall one.
Give me a reason to get a Switch 2 and replay it!
The reason for me to play Breath of the Wild was my nostalgia for Ocarina of Time. It's just impossible to explain to people what wondrous fantasy it was when it came out in the 90's. An open-world game, 3D, on console, with a joystick, with glorious music? I know you zoomers can read and understand those words, but you genuinely can't understand the feeling.
The world didn't have the internet, or games, really. TV had like a few channels. You wouldn't be able to ever choose what you wanted to watch unless you had a video, and those weren't too plentiful. If you ever liked a TV-show, then the timeslot of that TV-show made you go watch it at a certain time, or at the least go through telling your mom how to program the VCR for it and hope it gets recorded. Games were mostly just 2D.
And then you load into OOT menu on N64 a year later, and start the story with the FPV camera flying around. It was amazing.

Not a videogame, but I'd argue it could very well be the case for Pathfinder, D&D, WH, or any other tabletop system in which you really get invested.
Final fantasy 6 Chrono trigger Capcom vs SNK2 Soul Calibur 2 Super Mario Bros 3
These games all stand tall as giants of excellence decades after their release. Teams have already decent renowned executing at the peak of their genre with true craftsmanship and deep care into their design from mechanics to aesthetics to music to gameplay.

Ohh that is a good suggestion. Its also FOSS, people should go and play it.
Recently tried out the extraction mod which was a very different play through.
Minecraft. Star Fox 64. Pokemon Stadium.
Wolfenstein 3D Doom Duke Nukem 3D Portal Katamari
Witcher 3 is pretty good
Final Fantasy XI. It's been online for over 20 years and still has a devoted player base. The game's scale is so epic that many people still haven't beaten the expansions.
When it came out it was so far beyond what we had seen in an MMO before - The only competitors were UO and Everquest, but the graphics, music, complexity, and storyline were miles beyond those games.
It's a game with unimaginable depth of play that takes years to master - not like the hand-holdy easy games we get nowadays. Truly a gem the likes of which we will never see again.

Terraria, amazing game that is still supported to this day, best 5€ I've spend on a game.
Imma go with SNES Mario kart. People still play it. Will continue to play it. It was genre defining. It's not changing ever static. Simply to start but complex to finish.
I'd argue there isn't one. Not on the scale of LotR. It cannot be overstated how unlikely it was that it happened the way it did.
