Another vote for Vampire Survivors. It feels like a game that has given the developer so much joy to make.

Enter the gungeon. Played it so many hours across different platforms.
Same here. Great game. If you've finished everything the Gungeon has to offer, check out Voidigo. It just released not too long ago and scratches that itch while still being very unique in its own right.
I know it's not 100% single player, but it's how I play it anyway, D2 and all of its mods.
I tend to get bored of games fairly quickly. I'll hop from game to game to game, over and over again, never (rarely) beating a game before moving on to the next. Sometimes I come back to these games I've abandoned and start over, only to repeat the cycle. There's only one game that I keep going back to again and again. The Sims. I do wish there were other competing life sim games that offered a similar amount of content and mod support, but alas, there's nothing out there quite like it yet.
It's good to know I'm not alone..... I buy a lot of games and have a huge catalogue over a number of systems. It really is the thing I enjoy most as downtime.
However, I can count on one hand how many title screens I have seen over the last 5 years. I get so far, lose interest, move on. Several months later I will feel like playing again, wipe the save and start over rinse and repeat.
Games that keep calling me back however are Skyrim, Fallout 4 and the Bioshock trilogy.

Almost perfect "simple" rts. Nothing terribly complicated about how it works. Really the only thing that keeps me from saying it is perfect is the lack of ability to set rally points for units or select multiple planets to move all the seedlings(units) all at once.
Technically not a single player game but Elden Ring.
Tyrian, but I'll just go to the main menu, enter the secret code and play the hidden turrets game for hours.
Starsiege Tribes versus bots. Wish it's ported to Android touch and motion sensors. http://playspoon.com/wiki/index.php?title=Spoonbot https://www.TribesUniverse.com or Outwars https://www.mobygames.com/game/3686/outwars/
Some of mine have already been said, so I'll bring up Barotrauma as one of mine! Give me some mods for extra content and I'll be able to play for many many hours.
Same with Doom, actually.
In the category of "bullet-heaven" / vampire survivors I have been putting a lot of time into Bio-Prototype. It has a really amazing upgrade/combination system for your weapons. And it also only costs like $4

Minesweeper. I can always guess the first one right, but after than it gets way harder.
Expert mode can be so annoying when the entire game boils down to a guess at the edge of the screen.
Beginner can be fun for speed runs. Somehow I managed 4 seconds once.
