Oblivion
I'll still install Duke Nukem 3D every couple of years to replay or to play the custom maps that were so easy to make.
OpenTTD is also great to mindlessly play while listening to podcasts.
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead
Metal Gear Rising Revengeance
I know it's not 100% single player, but it's how I play it anyway, D2 and all of its mods.
Vampire Survivors, The Binding of Isaac and Civilization 6, absolutely
Rimworld and factorio cause time to disappear
Minecraft I keep coming back to year after year.
FTL is pretty fun too
I love to start a new round of Civ 6 or a create a new city in City Skylines, because i learned so much from my previous mistakes and this time i will create a perfect civ/city... only to make super stupid mistakes nonetheless and fail miserably. It's still great fun though.
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)
Enter the gungeon. Played it so many hours across different platforms.
Another vote for Vampire Survivors. It feels like a game that has given the developer so much joy to make.
Dwarf Fortress and Minecraft. I don't play the latter online at all.
Europa Universalis IV
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)
Recently, The Stanley Parable
Technically not a single player game but Elden Ring.
Monster Hunter (I rarely play multiplayer), MGSV and Xcom 2
Ring of Pain. It's a creepy dungeon crawler roguelite. I don't know why, I've seen everything the game has to offer and somehow I keep coming back to it.
Stardew Valley!
