There's a number of the games that notably effected me after completion. Star Fox (SNES), Halo: Combat Evolved, Morrowind, KOTOR 1&2, Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, Bioshock, Dead Space, Hotline Miami, Undertale.
I'm probably forgetting some.
A Plague Tale: Requiem.
I wouldn't say it changed my life, but I couldn't get myself to play another game for some time after both Plague Tale games back-to-back.

Minecraft got me into programming when I was like 14. I'd probably have gotten into it regardless but it was the trigger for what has been a 14 year journey so far so I'd definitely say it changed my life
Lunacid, probably. Or MGS3. Or any of the Nier games
The Talos Principle 1 and 2
So it's good shit?
Absolutely if you like solving puzzles while pondering some philosophical concepts and the future of mankind

Atari Warlords. After seeing it in the local convenience store, I raced home on my bike to describe what I'd seen to my incredulous mother. She took me back and let me play twice. The obsession took root right at that moment.
Then later, Section Z in the arcades - It was the game that made me ponder how games were actually made. I imagined a person sitting with a microphone patched into the back of the arcade cabinet: "Ok I want a little red guy with a gun and he runs sideways..."
Credits of the last game I played: "Oh what a beauty, I've never seen one as big as it before..."
Mine is Cosmic Fantasy 2, for the TurboGrafx-16 CD System, was a game that I was given when I was not even a teenager yet, and I beat that without any guides, without any walkthroughs, without any support, and nobody helped me.
I believe it was the first game that I beat on my own.
I tried replaying it for nostalgia's sake, and the interface is so clunky and bad.
It uses a static card system for the enemies, nobody moves, the pacing is very slow, battles are frequent and pretty grueling, but I still remember the music, and I remember that it was the first game I ever played that had full motion video in it, even though it was anime full motion video, and the story was actually fantastic.
I honestly wish they would reboot this game or remake this game. There's like an entire Cosmic Fantasy series of role-playing games that were huge, like in the 90s, I guess, early 2000s, something, and they just freaking disappeared. And in English translation, we only got Cosmic Fantasy 2.
There's a lot of good story to mine, and the best part is it's a crossover where, like, some worlds have magic and some worlds have technology and people go back and forth between them and there's all sorts of different interesting creatures and stories that each world is experiencing.
