Subnautica (original and Sub Zero, plus a nod to Planet Crafter which captures some of that same vibe)
Metroid Prime (and all the other Metroids)
StarCraft (1 and 2, though fuck Blizzard today)
Diablo (2 and 3, though to a lesser extent for 3, and still fuck Blizzard)
WoW (I'm done with it now but there was a reason I was addicted for those years, but fuck Blizzard)
Oblivion (and Skyrim)
Factorio (and Dyson Sphere Project)
Beat Saber (and a nod to the rhythm games that predated it, like Rock Band, Guitar Hero, and Frequency I believe it was called)
Paradox games (HOI4, CK3, Europa (uh current?), Stellaris)
Hades

Many others could have been listed here instead. Oxygen not included, smash Bros, DBZ kakarot, xenosaga 2, transport fever, city skylines, risk of Rain 2, King's quest series, civ, Halo, Mario games, Zelda games, Mario Kart, Lego games, Minecraft... And I'm sure I'm missing many more that I have tried and others that I haven't.

Oblivion I find somewhat questionable due to just how awful that leveling system was. Holy fuck did mods ever save that fucking game.

Oblivion holds a special place in my heart as the first elder scrolls game I played and as one of the few games that rewarded players that jumped everywhere they went. My mind was kinda blown the first time I saw athleticism or acrobatics level up just from jumping from one place to another.

And I have fond memories of getting into the mage's guild and making a custom spell that increased acrobatics to a crazy level and then jumping around the roofs of that section of the town. That was the last time I played the game, actually. It came out early in my WoW addiction and interrupted the addiction for a month or so, but then I got pulled back into WoW and ended up going pretty hardcore with the character I rolled on my return and didn't have time for... well, anything else lol.
