Some games bring me in the zone/give me flow like no others.

For example the following games do that for me:

Olli Olli
Contra (NES)
Dark Souls
Street Fighter II (SNES)
Street Fighter 3
Street Fighter 6
Like Dreamer
Choplifter HD
XCOM
Infested Planet
Tetris Effect

What games are providing you with flow experiences?

Roguelikes. Binding of Isaac is one of my top played games with something like 500 hours in the game. I put it down a year or two and picked it back up like nothing. Just dodging and weaving and min maxing like i never stopped. Even new games that have a similar feel, I just tend to lock in and end up getting really far in my first run.
