There are many options for me: Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Adventure 2, Hotline Miami 1 and 2, Team Fortress 2, Saint Row 2, Payday: The Heist (I detest the 2) and many more.
But I stay with Hotline Miami, thanks to that wonderful game between the world of Synthwave music and the culture of the eighties.
Honestly, it's an indie game that far surpasses Undertale.

Super Mario is definitely a contender for me

Re: The best game you ever played (Except Rayman)
I think of all the games I've played in my life only a handful have had a profound impact on me, and (of those I can think of) aside from Rayman 2 they'd be Portal 2 and Jet Set Radio.
Portal 2 has been the only game I've ever been truly excited for, in fact I don't think anything's given me such a childlike sense of excitement than the first time I saw the Portal 2 trailer on TV
I remember it being the first triple A game I actually wanted to play, and the storytelling and deep lore changed the way I thought about videogames as an art medium.
I remember stumbling upon Jet Set Radio in the Steam store while it was free for a week, and I had only heard about the game and listened to some of the music but I didn't know what the actual game was like.
After playing it I got kind of obsessed, replaying it and listening to the soundtrack constantly for a good few weeks. I even hunted down an original XBOX just to play the sequel (the only time I've bought a console just to play a single game). The setting, art style, gameplay and soundtrack all seemed so unique and I feel like I stumbled across it at the exact right time to fully appreciate it.
Anyway, aside from that I suppose a few other games that had a large impact on me were Stepmania and to a greater extent Osu which really got me into rhythm games (now one of my favourite genres) and the classic 3rd person platformers of my childhood that shaped me as a kid, including Jack and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank and of course Rayman 2 and 3

Oh well there's also games for me like Crash Bandicoot. I really liked that one and put countless hours of my 9 year old life into Warped, well at least as much as I could before my dad would say "turn that off your eyes are going square from looking at it" 
I like Ratchet & Clank too, I still have to complete the 3 of those PS2 games of it.
There are others I love like Tom Clancy games, Splinter Cell and Rainbow Six are 2 examples of those. There are a lot more but Crash is probably the most memorable for me along with Super Mario games, I probably had an even bigger obsession with Mario then I do with Rayman
Anyway, though I only played Rayman 1 as a kid then Rayman Golf, but went unlil just last year before playing any main series games after Rayman 1, I still have to put Rayman as literally one of the best game series I've played

Oh, this is hard. Horizon Zero Dawn is definitely a contender, and so is Bloodborne (both PS4 exclusives, unfortunately)... I also really like the Half-Life and Portal series, and horror games, such as Outlast or Until Dawn. Yes, and Sid Meier's Civilization V, of course. Those are probably my all-time favorites.
