I generally feel somewhat hypnotized in those 3D games that allow me to explore worlds, with no time limit, but it also depends on the game itself

Starshot: Space Circus Fever has the perfect effect on me, more specifically the Tensuns planet where I get to just hop around with the main character and his robot assistant across the mountains and different islands, sometimes imagining stories as I go

Psychonauts is another one; there was this place where, if you stop controling the character and leave him for a while, he starts dancing, and I could watch that for hours, not to mention other very little but fun, surprising details

Ignoring level design, story, art direction, etc.
What video game just feels the best to play?

To me it's close between a few, depending on my mood:

The BEST for me is HITMAN 3...the sheer beauty and detail to the characters, the NPC's, and the world in general is jaw-dropping, not to mention flexibility in HOW to play.

WWE2k19. The sheer level of customization to both the character's look, entrance, and move set of literally thousands of moves makes you really feel the moves you're doing and allow a style that's unique, and the pacing feels right as you control everyone. You really feel like you're in the midst's of a wrestling match...not just a few moves but strategy and planning/skills. Not a button-pusher, you need skills and timing, and it's designed to be satisfying when you hit the good ones!

Split Second. The best racing game ever, as you can trigger the environment to crash into things, rockslides, entire airplanes, bridges, massive destruction and good graphics too. Not just racing, but strategy again...do you trigger the nuclear plant to collapse NOW, or wait another lap to be sure? You have seconds to decide...that kind of thing.

Battletech Urban Warfare/ Mechwarrior 5 mercenaries. Either the most detailed RPG ever, or a very cool unique FPS, both make you really feel the details of the attack. Each shot can disable specific limbs/weapons, every turn factors everything from elevation to terrain to heat to you name it. Very immersive.

DOA5/6. Hey, sometimes you just want to watch highly detailed sexy people fight chaotically with great attention to their individual styles and models. No apologies! LOL

Super Mario Bros. 2 / Super Mario Advance. This game seriously gives me a lot of good feels. Pulling up enemies and other objects. Levitating with Peach. Flying around with the flying carpet. Charging up the jump. Sliding on ice. Staying on the water spout of the whales. Digging through sand. Winning/losing at the slot machine. Finding mushrooms to receive more hearts. Throwing stuff at enemies and bosses. Stacking those mushroom blocks. I even like the shape of the key in this game and its color. And all of it while having that nice soundtrack~ Golly, this game is so satisfying!

I also like to play Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix with a controller. The highest difficulty is very relaxing and the music is something else I don't hear elsewhere.

Or trying to do large chains in Pokémon Puzzle League - feels amazing!

God Hand, it physically hurts to play but goddamn is it the most satisfying combat I've ever experienced in a game! Every punch, dodge and combo feels amazing to pull off

That's hard. I'd have to pick recent games. A lot of stuff just feels great and hard to pick just one because I can't really compare such different games.

TitanFall 2 is a must. The perfect first person shooter.

Devil May Cry 5 has the only melee combat I'm willing to fuck with these days. Extremely combo centric which everyone decided is a bad thing today. Everyone decided the only melee combat that's viable is heavy, sluggish games where you dodge roll the majority of your time and swing once or twice. But DMC5 allows such deep, expressive play that still feels difficult despite being so free to develop ludicrous strings in.

Sonic Mania further refining 2D speed platforming and being kind of the only good game in that space since it's release.

BallisticNG is the best AGRacer right now since WipEout 2048. Refinement on WipEout 3.

A lot of it is nostalgia, but I love the atmosphere of Metroid games. Special love for Metroid Prime and Metroid Fusion, but I'm making my way through Super Metroid and liking that, too.

I just finished my third playthrough of Metroid Dread.
This game is the search action genre perfected in terms of control and combat (and level design). It's so tactile, agile, and has just enough weight that you feel like a speedrunner the moment you first start a file. But you're not broken to shit until it's time to take on the last gauntlet. It's so crispy, clean, and smooth with zero hitches somehow balancing everything it does very cleanly. There's no gross floatiness. You don't get hitched up unnaturally on terrain. There isn't 5,000,000 button combos to do everything. Enemies can be fluidly dispatched with skill and brisk momentum. It just fucking works. If Super Metroid is the standard for atmosphere in this genre, Dread needs to be the standard for control. Mercury Steam outdid themselves.

There's little things they did to just clean up this genre. Just auto vaulting over tile high blocks. Mild cheating with ledges making short hopping up to platforms cleaner. Wall jump is now one control stick motion as it should have been 3 games ago. It's right there with Mega Man Zero and Sonic Mania in terms of perfect 2D movement.
Handles even better than Forged in Shadow Torch which impressed and immediately enthralled me from a mere demo (I need to buy that one REAL soon too).

Armored Core games, hands down for me

Giant robots with huge guns, but ZOOM. I love western-style Walking Tank too, but Japanese-style agile Giant Robot stuff is absolutely fucking VISCERALLY pleasant.

Personal opinion- Skate 1,2, and 3

I'm a skateboarder, and with these games, there was no way of dying, no time limit, you could skateboard wherever you wanted, however, in your own style.

Heck, in the third version you could build your own skateparks. There was seriously no downside to these games to me.

MGSV: The Phantom Pain. I put an obscene amount of hours into this game just because running around and pulling crazy maneuvers out of my butt was so fun. The amount of different methods the game gives you to approach situations is insane.

But DMC5 allows such deep, expressive play that still feels difficult despite being so free to develop ludicrous strings in.
I was trying to think of alternatives to DMCV, but it really is that good. When you get really skilled with Dante you feel like a golden god abusing these poor demons. Nero's Breaker's are exactly what the character needed and they all have quirks. V is... fine :3.
Some people might suggest Bayonetta, but Bayo doesn't scratch the same itch for me. She has more individual combo attacks, but I feel like they have less impact on combat than the moves in DMC. (P.S: Yeah F.I.S.T plays amazingly well for a random small studio)

Rivals of Aether also feels great to play. I was a Smash Ultimate dingus for a while, but after I got into Rivals I couldn't go back to playing in molasses. Rivals is so snappy and every character feels really different to play.

I'm also going to say Sekiro because of how intense and impactful the combat feels. I can't remember the last time I was so focused on a game fight that I was sweating. (Bloodbarn maybe :3)

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, specifically Flowmotion, it's very slick and fun to use

(Flowmotion unfortunately tends to remove a significant part of the game's challenge because it's SO STRONG)

Also, the Wipeout games had an amazing feel to them

E: oh yeah and mobility in Destiny 2 is crazy good fun

I find the latest Hitman series just is so immersive culturally, interactive, open-ended, and literally looks beautiful. I can get lost just wandering through the crowds and not even bothering with the objective somedays...

TF2 has been mentioned here before, and I second it. Hitting pipes, headshots, meatshots, rockets, and getting dominations and going on long killstreaks doing stupid stuff can be satisfying. Although it's really not satisfying when some sweaty guy with 20k hours uses you as his static training dummy.

klonoa 2: a very fun puzzle/platformer with memorable location that really feel out of a dream, Joilant, the maze of memories, i really hope they port this game for this gen.

Kirby:...what can i say...its kirby.

Warioware: a very fun and silly series, the gameplay is super fun, but its goofy humor alone is enough to get me laughing
