My answer to both would be Doom (1993).

In some ways Doom is the greatest game ever made.

The scene is truly eternal. I've dipped in and out of it myself over the decades. It's so incredibly rich.

If you haven't tried it I'd recommend checking out Doom Builder 2 and seeing how you like running around a room you just made. It's addictive in a Minecraft-esque sort of way.

I haven't made a new map in years and I was just scratching out a level idea in a notebook just this Friday. I guess it never leaves you
