It depends on what you're into, but I love turn-based tactics/strategy games, so the XCOM series (and the numerous games influenced by it) are top notch for me. I like the gameplay loop of completing turn after turn, with the ability to easily get up and do something else if I get distracted at any time.
For more of an action game, my favorites are the Souls series, Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring, etc. The challenge is unmatched, and there are no waypoints or quest logs to make you feel like you're mentally juggling a dozen tasks at once (which I find exhausting and off-putting). I like being able to just pick up the controller and simply know that I need to make progress in that direction.
I do also enjoy competitive multiplayer games, but I haven't liked the direction that those have gone in recent years: with battle passes, dailies, and grindfests, I'd rather avoid getting trapped in that FOMO cycle, so I don't have one that I play at the moment. (Unless you count online chess, lol)
For turn-based, Battletech is also outstanding, and has tons of mods you can explore that significantly deepen the gameplay. Stock is not that hard once you figure out the mechanics, but you can mod it so that you’re basically playing with an insanely-detailed, extended version of tabletop rules.

Hmm, never heard of that one, but I'll look it up!
The battletech universe is basically Game of Thrones in space + the “knights” use battlemechs. It’s great.
