In recent years? Hmm, that's a tough one. I don't think I could answer that one. But my all-time favorite game was Chromehounds for the Xbox 360.

What do we classify as "recent years"?

Anyway, I can't pick a single one, but here are some of my favourites:
Crusader Kings 2
Europa Universalis 4
Shadowrun Returns
Legend of Grimrock
Avernum: Escape from the Pit
Civilization V with expansions
The Walking Dead S1
Tales of Maj'Eyal

Company of Heroes 2
Fable 2
Total War series

Metro Last Light
Deus Ex - Human Revolution
Dying Light
Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes
Alien Isolation

Mafia 2, Mass Effect 2, Sleeping Dogs, and Etrian Odyssey 3. I can't pick just one ;_;

Binding of Isaac

Both Darksiders and alot more great games.

Does "recent" include future?

If so:

KSP and Factorio :D

Tomb Raider , GTA V , League of Legends , CS:GO

Fallout New Vegas is my #1.

PORTAL 2

Payday 2, got 830 hrs and still playing it.

Wolfenstein: The New Order

I've been playing Dark Souls and Binding of Isaac Rebirth a lot lately.

Really liked Last of Us and Dark souls 2, and the Metro titles are great aswell

Skyrim,
Morrowind,
The Walking Death,
Legend of Dragoon(PS1),
Rome Total War
Minecraft
PokeMMO
FableTLC
Insurgency

Hard to narrow it down so much, but last generation I'd agree that Red Dead Redemption was mind blowing. The original Mass Effect is a close second, with GTA 5 maybe in third place. I haven't played enough of this generation to judge.

On PC, Binding of Isaac Rebirth is my addiction. I'm not sure if it's the best game or my favourite game, but I can't stop playing it :)

Braid and Aquaria, I think.

Deathspank in co-op mode was a nice surprise.
Skyrim lived up to the hype and was even a bit better.
Trine 2 is a piece of art and plays great with three players. We really should have more games like that.

Dark souls, GTAV, Ridge Racer 7

My favorite games in "recent years" are:
Multiplayer: "Arma2OA WarfareBE & Domination2 missions", "Company Of Heroes",
SinglePlayer: "FTL Faster Than Light", "Plants vs Zombies", "Minecraft" & "Kerbal Space Program".

Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes, Last of Us and Dark Souls.
