It's not really a single single player game, more a set of specific genres: "Ubisoft open world", "Immersive sim" (especially Arkanes), "Bethesda RPG" (Even 76 which ye cna play pretty much solo), "Walking Sim" (a genre I fell in love with this past year)

Most of them that I play since I'm not big on multiplayer. Lots of RPGs (Mass Effect Legendary), colony sims (Rimworld), city builders (Banished), and grand strategy games (Stellaris)
Spelunky (HD/2) is my goto chill game. Put Spotify on and just start going for the hard end. It's a 2D, roguelike platformer about exploring a series of caves, and shouldn't be as addicting as it is.
I have no idea why, but I cant get enough of it. 200 hours in HD, 250 in 2, and I also had it on X360 a while back that didnt track time.
Technically not a single player game but Elden Ring.
Enter the gungeon. Played it so many hours across different platforms.
Same here. Great game. If you've finished everything the Gungeon has to offer, check out Voidigo. It just released not too long ago and scratches that itch while still being very unique in its own right.
Europa Universalis IV
Stellaris Cyberpunk No man's sky (idk if it counts as single player per se)
Tyrian, but I'll just go to the main menu, enter the secret code and play the hidden turrets game for hours.
Some of mine have already been said, so I'll bring up Barotrauma as one of mine! Give me some mods for extra content and I'll be able to play for many many hours.
Same with Doom, actually.
Starsiege Tribes versus bots. Wish it's ported to Android touch and motion sensors. http://playspoon.com/wiki/index.php?title=Spoonbot https://www.TribesUniverse.com or Outwars https://www.mobygames.com/game/3686/outwars/
Rogue Legacy 2
If you enjoy platformers and roguelikes, you'll like this.
Eufloria Classic
Almost perfect "simple" rts. Nothing terribly complicated about how it works. Really the only thing that keeps me from saying it is perfect is the lack of ability to set rally points for units or select multiple planets to move all the seedlings(units) all at once.
Fromsoftware games and Monster Hunter games
Killer7 Bloodborne Darkest Dungeon
I know it's not 100% single player, but it's how I play it anyway, D2 and all of its mods.
