That's a tough question

80's Dragon quest 1

90's fuck this one is hard ... Super Metroid

00's Metroid prime 1

10's Xenoblade Chronicles 1

20's we are midway in and I haven't played a lot so I'll say xenoblade chronicles 3 because Tetsuya Takahashi pays me

I did say so far

I highly recommend Hi-Fi Rush. It feels like a throwback to the highly stylized games of the 6th generation like Jet Set Radio and Viewtiful Joe (in fact, one boss has a pretty explicit homage to Space Channel 5).
 
80s: Mario 3
90s: Ocarina of Time or MGS1
00s: Devil May Cry 3
10s: Dishonored
20s: Monster Hunter Rise or Street Fighter 6

90s and 2000s are huge toss-up decades; I could've mentioned at least 5 other games for both of those decades.

II haven't played too many games from the 2020's, but MH Rise and SF6 top that list for sure, even with my brief time with MH.
 
80's: Final Fantasy I, Final Fantasy II
90's: FInal Fantasy V, Little Nemo: The Dream Master
00's: Final Fantasy XII [International Zodiac Job System], Animal Crossing: Wild World
10's: Final Fantasy XV, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3
20's: Hogwarts Legacy, Epic Mickey Rebrushed

One of these decades is not like the others... Final Fantasy XVI would probably be on this list if I had it

Additional note on this: 20s would be Alan Wake 2 perhaps, but I am yet to buy the DLC's and play through the final draft mode, so i am waiting to do that until I make up my mind.

90s - spyro the dragon (not too confident on this one)
00s - saya no uta
