It's not really a single single player game, more a set of specific genres: "Ubisoft open world", "Immersive sim" (especially Arkanes), "Bethesda RPG" (Even 76 which ye cna play pretty much solo), "Walking Sim" (a genre I fell in love with this past year)

Most of them that I play since I'm not big on multiplayer. Lots of RPGs (Mass Effect Legendary), colony sims (Rimworld), city builders (Banished), and grand strategy games (Stellaris)
Recently, The Stanley Parable
Rimworld and factorio cause time to disappear
Minecraft I keep coming back to year after year.
FTL is pretty fun too
Secret of Monkey Island.
Every so often, I play it again ( thank you, @scummvm@corteximplant.com )
Even though I know every puzzle, it's still fun 2ยฝ decades after I played it for the first time.
Ring of Pain. It's a creepy dungeon crawler roguelite. I don't know why, I've seen everything the game has to offer and somehow I keep coming back to it.
Stardew Valley!
Another vote for Vampire Survivors. It feels like a game that has given the developer so much joy to make.
I love to start a new round of Civ 6 or a create a new city in City Skylines, because i learned so much from my previous mistakes and this time i will create a perfect civ/city... only to make super stupid mistakes nonetheless and fail miserably. It's still great fun though.
Metal Gear Rising Revengeance
I'll still install Duke Nukem 3D every couple of years to replay or to play the custom maps that were so easy to make.
OpenTTD is also great to mindlessly play while listening to podcasts.
Monster Hunter (I rarely play multiplayer), MGSV and Xcom 2
Europa Universalis IV
Dwarf Fortress and Minecraft. I don't play the latter online at all.
Factorio and rimworld
Enter the gungeon. Played it so many hours across different platforms.

Quake (1996). Still playing it more than 25 years later :)
Two Point Hospital
I know it's not 100% single player, but it's how I play it anyway, D2 and all of its mods.
