For me it was definitely DOOM 2! Miles ahead of anything else I had played before.

Î was going to mention this one. Just the flexibility of approaches it permitted was revelatory to me.

On a more dubious note, it also unlocked sides of me that I wasn't aware of before.

Honorable mention to the first civ which was, for me, what the Risk boardgame had prophecied.

Deus Ex touched on a lot political issues. Another game from that era with a similar feeling of having to fight against the government is Nomad Soul. It's not as good as Deus Ex, but it features David Bowie which is a plus.
