For basically daily consumption, definitely Paradoy Grand Strategy games for me, EU4, Vic3, CK3, HoI4, one of those almost always manages to work out.
As a game that I can endlessly revisit with short pauses in between, Disco Elysium, never fails to resonate with me.
Oblivion
Enter the gungeon. Played it so many hours across different platforms.

I know it's not 100% single player, but it's how I play it anyway, D2 and all of its mods.
Workers and resources. It's like cities skylines on steroids.
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead
Vampire Survivors, The Binding of Isaac and Civilization 6, absolutely
Factorio and rimworld
Dwarf Fortress and Minecraft. I don't play the latter online at all.
Grand Theft Auto IV. I've always felt it has the most emersive storyline and setting out of them all. Once you get past the janky driving controls it was a hell of a lot of fun.
Outer Wilds. You can really only play it once though but itβs amazing!
One of my favorites of all time! Need to go back and complete the DLC!

Europa Universalis IV
Since nobody has mentioned it, I'll throw in "X4: Foundations". The X series is janky in places but oh so satisfying if you can get past the jank. Build a military empire to take over the galaxy, or maybe a trading empire. Or maybe you want to become an industrialist and build huge stations to print money. You can be a pirate or a salvager or any combination of the above. And there are tons of interesting mods if you get sick of the vanilla game.
Love this game!
Monster Hunter (I rarely play multiplayer), MGSV and Xcom 2
Quake (1996). Still playing it more than 25 years later :)
