Max Payne
I just mentioned this the other day to someone, so the first one which comes to mind is Zero Escape: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors.
#BreathOfTheWild & #TearsOfTheKingdom
For #ToTK, I should not have even looked at the gameplay footage. I want to erase everything from my mind and rediscover everything!
This is why if I know I’m going to watch a film or play a game - eg anything Zelda or Star Wars - I’ll never watch the trailers/gameplay
Quest for Glory 1, VGA version
The Last of Us. Even when the credits rolled the first time I knew it would never hit exactly the same again
Super Mario Bros.
Layers of Fear. Limbo. Inside.
I would say RDR2 or TLOU, both left such an impact on me after I beat them. Prob is now I remember the story so it doesn’t have that surprise or shock factor. I really wish I could use the MiB memory wipe stick sometimes.
Final Fantasy Tactics. I've been trying to recreate the feeling of beating Dorter for first time for YEARS.
Escape from Tarkov. The fear and the confusion was so overwhelming. I look back on it fondly :D
Original Doom, DOS prompt and all
Definitely Demon's Souls.
I was so bored with games, and had been playing everything on the hardest setting trying to make games more fun. A friend of mine recommended Demon's Souls and it was instant joy!
Either Paper Mario 2 or Terraria.
Half life and half life 2. The first time I ran through the storyline was like no other game I've played.

All for the same reason: What you learn and discover as a player is part of the game. You can't start a new game from scratch unless you get amnesia.
Fallout 3, I spend good hours and hours escaping from real life me.
Child of Light
Devil May Cry 3.
Final Fantasy IX. Played it about 4 times in my life now, but I'd love to experience it again for the first time.
I had never heard of it when a coworker introduced me to it 10+ years ago. I knew nothing going into it, and then I played it obsessively from beginning to end. It was nearly impossible to find even then.
FIFA 1998
Shadow of the Colossus.
OneShot
Nier Automata
I'm not completely sure, but it's likely one of the RPGs I played when I was super young.
Spellcaster, D&D Warriors of the Eternal Sun, Sword of Vermillion, or Golvellius: Valley of Doom.
After years of playing modern RPGs these games just don't really do it for me. They can get 2-4 hours or so before I end up forgetting about them for a year. It'd be great for it to be a new experience again :D
I also didn't really get meta-gaming type concepts when I played these games. I got through them sure, but I wasn't thinking too deeply about the systems of the games and got stuck several times and had to do things like grind random encounters to just out level things. It'd be great to approach them fresh, but with this perspective.
Ultima VII
It was the first RPG where I felt you could really interact with the world. The story was great too.
crono cross, period.
The start seems to drag on and on and on. I've never managed to make it far out of the beginning area.
I love crono trigger though
Other than RDR for its story, probably Minecraft with mods. So many thousands of hours with my friend...
