For me, Terraforming Mars. I love the theme. The complexity is just the right amount without being overwhelming. And engine building is fun. There are also tons of different paths to take.

Dune Imperium. Worker placement, (minor) deck building, and PvP combat — mashing the three together shouldn’t work this well together but it does.
I really like that the core loop of the game is easy enough to pick up. Makes it easier to introduce new people to the game. Design is oozing with theme and text/iconography is really clear (looking at you, Race for the Galaxy). Plus the expansions are all great! After two years of playing, it’s definitely one of my all-time favourites.
