Flashback A plateform game with a nice story telling. Graphics and music was unbelievable
Never understood people's obsession with RE4. It completely changed the series from survival horror to action shooter, as if we didn't have enough of those already. One zombie used to be terrifying. Now there's hundreds coming at you at once and they go down easily. They removed most of the puzzles too and dumbed down the ones they left. Somebody please tell me why everyone loves this game!?
Give me the first two Resident Evils over the 4th one any day. Hell, I rather play RE3 than RE4.

Obligatory Dark Souls nomination. It is an almost perfect depiction of the hero's journey with a captivating world filled with little moments of environmental story telling.
Runner up would be Metroid Prime 1 which similarly creates a very believable world you inhabit while playing.
Halo 2
Maybe Halo 3? The amount of content, the custom games, the competitive gaming, all of it was just so good and loved by so many people.
I guess Guild Wars 2 because is tha game I’ve spent more hours playing, a few thousand.
RuneScape
I don't personally play it anymore but it having still players to this day and thriving proves it.
Edit: On second thought it's probably Java Edition Minecraft. Thing spawn an industry around it. Now people's livelyhood depend on it. A generation learning java programming just to make plugins or mods. I bet this also what increase the number of java developers. Probably inadvertently also introduced to Blender. Being accessable and sandbox made that possible.
unfortunately people won't answer past "what game did you grow up with?"
I think the most recognizable game was the most culturally impactful so my vote is for SMB, even SM64 completely changed gaming
(not a Nintendo or Mario fan btw)
Doom, obviously.
