A lot of folks are listing their favorite games but this is the one that truly fits.
-
Unusually long development time by a studio known for DnD-simmiliar RPG games getting the next installation for the series that defined the genre.
-
Cast voice actors for several years, ones that are still playing their characters on a variety of platforms.
-
Just chock filled references to DnD lore, cute in-jokes, and faithful updates on old characters.
Everyone involved clearly loved it!
It got people not previously interested in DND to actually enjoy DND.

Age of Empires 2, despite being Microsoft owned, is easily one of the best strategy games of all time and has very clearly stood the test of time. It's over 25 years old and people kept playing it a lot even before the HD remakes. I remember reading that the folks that made the 1st game often had to choose between "actual history or hollywood history" for some details, often going for hollywood because it made for a more fun experience.
I suspect Factorio might stand the test of time as well, and it's clearly something made by someone who really understands the medium. I haven't begun my factory yet.

A genuinely heart warming story that deals with strong themes of love and friendship in a way that made a genuine impact?
Undertale.
Agree such a great game made me cry
Positively nuclear take, but 100% valid
The first half of the description, combined with the unmentioned ambition of LotR, made me think of Star Citizen. But we'll have to wait another 5-10 years to find out if they manage to deliver on that ambition, and stand the test of time.

Morrowind ?
Terraria, amazing game that is still supported to this day, best 5€ I've spend on a game.
red dead redemption 2 is missing from a lot of these
Im...not sure we played the same Red Dead Redemption 2.
I agree with them, that game is a masterpiece. Didn't you love it?
Oh, yes, I agree with that part. I just don't see the similarities to LotR.

I'd argue there isn't one. Not on the scale of LotR. It cannot be overstated how unlikely it was that it happened the way it did.
World of Warcraft was a LOTR moment for me, thousands of hours of different content in a fantastic world. The extensions killed it ofc.

I always felt like Breath of the Wild was Lord of the rings animated by studio Ghibli the videogame.
I feel like BotW has some fundamental design problems with lots of repetitive content, an unsatisfying weapon-breaking system, and of course it lacks dungeons. The dialogue has a lot of words but very little to say. Don't get me wrong, the open world is breathtaking, but a lot was sacrificed on that altar.

Zork. Everything else is wrong.
Morrowind
Witcher 3 is pretty good
