... are you asking my favourite game or which game I would like to play forever. Because I could play Tetris forever but my favourite game is Zelda Ocarina Of Time.

My favorite game would not be the game I could only play for the rest of my life. My personal favorite game is Bioshock because of the beautiful art. The way the story shocked me and kept me interested. The way everything came together almost perfectly....and it also had the most satisfying ending of any game I've played; it may have been a short, but damn if it wasn't sweet. That is my favorite game, but not a game I could keep playing for the rest of my life. If I had to pick that game...it would be something like Morrowind, or a Pokemon game etc...because those are the games that I put the most hours in...
My favourite game is also not the game I'd play for the rest of my life.
Outer Wilds was a hell of a thing, genuinely powerful... but if I could play one game or series for the rest of my life it'd be a Monster Hunter(presuming I could play them again). There's a lot more repeatability and mutability there for long term play.
Sid Meier's: Pirates (2005) really any of teh versions from PC or PSP are good. There is a bit of chnage about who you meet on teh open oceans so it very repayable.
Game like SimCity, The Sims, or Civilization would be good choices too. I played hundreds of games of Civilization 2 which adds up to many hundreds of hours of my late teens.
If I had to pick a game to play for the rest of my life, I'd probably go with Skyrim. It's not my favorite game, not even my favorite Bethesda game, but it's got that formula I crave and the healthiest mod scene of any of their games. I would die of old age before I ran out of new content to play around with.
If it's the question in the initial post (game I could play forever) it would be Demon Crawl. I got absolutely obsessed with that game and barely scratched the surface after over 100 hours (which is a lot for me).
Favourite game is either Spec Ops: The Line or Omori. I genuinely have a hard time picking between them.
Call of Duty has been with me since I was a child. I remember most of my childhood around the computer because of it. If they add a few more features and update I'll gladly play it for the rest of my life.
FFX, for either question, which I have played through about a dozen times. It's strange that "coherent" could be a superlative when it comes to a franchise's stories, but that was my impression of what helped set X apart from its three immediate predecessors. Besides the sphere grid being an interesting twist on leveling, allowing for a lot of permutations, the game also nailed voice acting at a time when it was still in its relative infancy in the industry. The performances more than hold up now, too. The visuals were stupidly good looking for the time.
I like how the story manages to discuss race and religion in an artful way, e.g., the vagaries of the tension between the Al Bhed and Yevonites, the heretics and the faithful, conveyed through Rikku and Wakka, who must co-exist; the dichotomy of Seymour bridging relations between humans and the Guado, while also working simultaneously to destroy human and Guado life; or the party being banned from temples, but continuing their pilgrimage anyway, the battle with Yunalesca being their decisive act of iconoclasm. The game straddles a line between institutional religion vs. personal faith vs. secularity, and finds an intersection between them all. It's a well-told story.
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker
A SMT tactics game with two stories, compendium, an entire NG+ checklist & secrets at certain times on certain runs. So so good for replayability. Probably one of the Zelda’s tho
