I used to play the shit out of The Specialist, a HL1 mp mod.
Also while most were hooked on Twisted Metal my brother and I loved Vigilante 8.

Or The Game?

I don't see people talk about the Katamari Damacy games very much which is a shame because I think they're delightful! I also wish more people talked about Cattails (especially the sequel, Cattails: Wildwood Story), these games deserve more love imo haha
Cattails series mentioned! I’ve replayed those two multiple times they’re so cute and the gameplay loop is so soothing and fun.
Cat Quest series (which is more dungeon-crawler, not cat sim) is also adorable and accessible but doesn’t seem to be mentioned too often.

Sprout Valley and Chicory: A Colorful Tale are two indie games I adore a bunch but don’t get much mainstream love.

Creaks. It's a puzzle platformer sort of in the style of Limbo and Inside. Beautiful hand drawn graphics. Really challenging puzzles. And the music feels like it organically evolves as you progress through the game.

The Cube Escape series. Free to play escape the room puzzle games with a really creepy vibe

Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds.
Basically AoE2 with a Star Wars skin and a few new unit/building types. I must have put thousands of hours into this game in my lifetime and I still play it occasionally.

The original mass effect trilogy. I know they're very mainstream but no one talks about them anymore and I must have like 5k hours between the 3 games.
Perfect winter break games for just diving in and doing 20 hour long play sessions

Lost Kingdoms 2 for the GameCube
Great card battle concept that I wish was put into a modern game and improved with more transformations and monsters

Nine parchments! Take Diablo, strip out the loot system and plot, add friendly fire and some colors, and you have 9p. It’s not a perfect game but it’s super fun to play with a few friends

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura. Even just the soundtrack is worth the price of admission.

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. An absolute gem from Dontnod that plays like a double-A god of war with superb writing and voice performances.
Gives me the same vibes as Claire Obscure, but in a less flashy, more grounded world of early colonial America

- Bionic Commando on Game Boy --> platform game with good graphics and good musics for a 1992 Game Boy game. It's an adaptation of the NES/Arcade game but in a futuristic world and more fluid controls (in my opinion) than the NES one.
- Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle --> really good tactical RPG with a funny universe and awesome music that was released early on the Nintendo Switch.

Earthworm Jim
Atomic Robokid (Genesis)
Tempest (Atari 2600 version)
Ghosts and Goblins (NES)
The game where it's a rich guy that sends a trained assassin out onto a island with nothing and hunts him for 24 hours, and if the assassin kills the rich guy he gets his freedom and like $20K.
Rock n Roll Racing (SNES)
Beyond All Reason/Planetary Annihilation

The Longest Journey. It’s one of the best adventure games ever made, and has one of the best stories in interactive storytelling.
Sacrifice. An old Interplay title where you are a sorcerer in service to a god. You summon armies of creatures and cast world-altering spells using the souls of creatures you’ve sacrificed to your god.

Sentient by Psygnosis for PC and PS1.
It is a super ambitious 1997 adventure game on a simulated space station with multiple endings.
The whole crew is simulated also and there is a fairly open dialog system with which you can ask questions, give orders or just small talk.I would give an arm and a leg for a proper remake.

These are apparently the remasters of the first two games for PC:

From looking at Wikipedia and Steam, I don't think that there's a PC version of Me & My Katamari.
Cattails (especially the sequel, Cattails: Wildwood Story)
