Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective
The story has so many great twists and turns even up to the very end. There was a distinct point about 75% of the way through when I came to the realization that I had to binge the rest of game. Even if it meant I got zero sleep that night, I had to see how it ended.
It was so good I wish I could experience it again blind.
Star Control 2
Shadow of the Colossus and some Silent Hill stuff
Shadow of the Colossus is a good one. Up until that point, I'd never played a game that felt like that. You didn't feel like an awesome, powerful hero destroying monsters, instead you felt like you had to make a tough choice to destroy beautiful creatures.
The Binding of Isaac.
This is the eternal game of ever. It is balanced, fair, excellent feedback (time to win), super I'm depth unlocks, one of the best meta games. Take the time to learn the basics and this game is infinite.
For retro games my answer is probably Yoshi's Island. If you include modern games I'd likely go with Hollow Knight. If VNs count then Echo.
