I hear that's amazing but I don't want to buy it because I heard the current owners screwed over the devs or something
Witcher 3
Baldur’s gate 2 for me.
Judging by how many hours I’ve logged, Civ 6
Openworld\sandbox: Minecraft.
It didn't invent things, but it made the most of it's raw components like proc. generation, crafting, impacting world by just placing a block, implementing basic algorythms into the game by redstone and modblock (?). And it bssically created the indie market.
Old role-playing: BG \ NWN (IDK what defines RPGs now)
Adapted tapletop systems, created an environment for your own modules, a big inspiration in this genre.
Sports: Unreal Tournament \ Quake 3 \ Counter Strike 1.6
That's when cybersports start to be known by masses and whole games begin to be made exclusively for it. Not ideal, but highly refined competitive games that made a huge impact on how games are made.
I will not give you titles because the list can be long and hardly I can find a total winner. The best games even made are the one shipped completed without pretending of expansions to fill it, or DLC, or micro translation, season pass, and shit like this. So we need to jump back to 5 or 10 years to find something. I'm still waiting a new generation game that I like and that can achieve this.
Rdr2 deserves a mention
