One game that stands out as one I played a metric fuckload of though - Jedi Knights: Dark Forces II. I don’t think I even played more than half of the first level of single player. I had so much fun with that game and especially the mods that came with it. Miss it a lot.

All time.
Sim City (series) is a close 2nd for many of the same reasons. I spent so many days building cities only to forget that I left disasters enabled, and here comes Godzilla.
Surprised no one mentioned this actually. For those not familiar it's a shooter located on the site of the accident where the disaster produced various mutant monsters and an unstable environment. Really immersive with the difficulty, story and ambience. Haven't seen the movie it was based on.

For what it's worth, the expansion does a number of things to really create the feeling of playing the base game again. Highly recommended.

Universal Paperclips. It made me feel what exponential growth is, and kept me hooked. https://www.decisionproblem.com/paperclips/
It does have a bug in the rebels phase - they can wipe out your entire fleet, and it's all but impossible to recover from.
