Metroid Prime. Looking back, every part of that game was awe-inspiring to me. haven't quite had those feelings with another game sense.

You get to go back and play one game again for the very first time: Which game do you play?

Super Mario Galaxy, Uncharted 2, Batman Arkham City, The Last of Us, God of War(2005). Hard to pick one.
I think probably What Remains of Edith Finch. There's obviously other great and epic games, but that's the one I'd like to experience over for the first time.
Hard to answer really. Perhaps Uncharted 2 though, that game was a real thrill ride but it really relies on the spectacle and surprise of each sequence.
Or perhaps an open world game would make more sense. To regain that wonderment that comes from exploring the unknown in a game like Skyrim.

1. P4G, I genuinely care about the characters. There's just something about the game that hooks me from start till end.
2. The Witcher 3. The beautiful sunset, the engaging story, choices that matters but isn't black and white. And I love the combat, I really do.

Resident Evil 4. I've played it so much at this point that I've given up my last two or three playthroughs because I've been there, done that so many times. I'd like to go and experience it for the first time and fall in love with it all over again.
I thought I'd say one of the Mario games, but to my surprise it is:
Resident Evil 4 - Playing that on the GameCube on an old CRT was giving a glance at what gaming could be like. The atmosphere, the pacing, felt perfect!
well that's the only game so far I played through more than once besides my Mario games.

The Witcher III: Wild Hunt Complete.
If i had a few more to add:
The Return of Obra Dinn
Final Fantasy VII
WoW: Wrath of the Lich King
and possibly Shadowrun: Dragonfall &
Disco Elysium.
Too many, i need to forget.

For me, it'd be either Bioshock, Dark Souls or Mass Effect 1.
One of the true joys of gaming for me has been exploring some new mysterious place.
Bioshock had the incredible, disturbing, and dystopian city of Rapture.
Dark Souls' Lordran wasn't just a joy to explore, but intorduced me to the "show don't tell" style of delivery and merciless game design. I so adore it.
Mass Effect 1 was an unbridled joy for me. This intricate universe Bioware had created was so full of possibilities and mysteries. Exploring the galaxy as Shepard was truly great.
I'd love to re-experience the feelings these games gave me when I first got to play them.

This is a tough one to answer...
BOTW comes to mind first. Just such a unique experience, especially at it's launch, but unfortunately the magic is predicated on the joy of discovery and breaking over the horizon for the first time.
If it were possible to capture the nostalgic imagination from years past, yeah it gets more open ended. Metal Gear Solid on PSX, first-gen Pokemon games, Baldur's Gate...it's funny how big and expressive those worlds felt, even though now I can basically see the entire tileset in my head/on the 'net somewhere. Still, there were some big feels and great things done for gaming with titles likes these, so, ya know.

Final Fantasy 7-I love this game. It was my Christmas present in 1997 along with my first PlayStation.
Metal Gear Solid-The game that got me into the series and still my favorite out of all of them.
Super Mario 64-This game was the epitome of magic when it came out. I devoured everything I could about it from Gamepro, EGM, and Gamefan. I got it Christmas 1996 along with my "2nd" N64. The first one was stolen out of my dads van before could get it inside and wrap it so he went back and bought another one.

Some of my fondest gaming memories involve playing Halo multiplayer on system link and taking turns playing through side missions in Oblivion. Streaming has kind of taken its place, but I really miss the days when I could get together with friends and play through a single player or split screen co-op title.
BOTW and it's not even close. If you were to ask me this question 5, 10, 15 years ago it would obviously be different, but the bar for experiences has been raised. I envy every person who gets to play BOTW for the first time in present day.
Recent games really come to mind right now.
I'm thinking games like:
Obra Dinn
Outer Wilds
Disco Elysium
Yakuza 6 (This game hit me real hard)
Other classic choices are:
Shadow of the Colossus
Killer7
REmake
Dead Rising
Night in the Woods
If I had to choose just one, it would probably be Night in the Woods.

My number one, easily: Xenoblade Chronicles. And I can't wait to triple-dip for the remaster.
After that, I think the entire Ace Attorney series, Pokemon BW, Return of the Obra Dinn and other adventure/puzzle games.
