SMRPG is just an all around great game - second runner up being Chrono Trigger. 30ish hours for a full run, minimal filler.
Disco Elysium is just such an amazing game that I restarted it the second I beat it. I played. I cried. I tell everyone to play it.
MGSV isn't my favorite MGS story (that goes to 3) but the gameplay loop was satisfying and I just enjoyed playing it.
Sly just has a lot of nostalgia for me and it was overall my favorite game in the PS2 trilogy.
ALTTP is a similar combo of a great game with a lot of personal meaning to me. It's just one of those games I can mindlessly play but for some reason I've never got into randomizers for it.
