It's gotta be the Obra Dinn for me, the vocals are such a huge part of the story and dine really well.

The narrator in Indika. Or really anybody in Indika. Especially considering the English actors aren't even the original actors.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
The voice actors really hit it out of the park with this one. But this scene in particular:

The Last of Us Part 2 has amazing voice acting. Part 1 as well, but the second game goes beyond.
Only Uncharted 4 feels close to that level (unsurprisingly, considering it's from the same studio).
I don't know if it is the best, but I liked the voice acting in Slay the Princess.

In terms of pure voice acting I think it's Date Everything. The game have a 100 different professional voice actors that want to seduce you.
Disco elysium, any supergiant game (hades/bastion) logan cunningham my beloved, legacy of kain, parts of mass effect, bad company 2
The voice acting in Hellblade always gives me chills.
Halo master fucking chief! Hell yeah brother
GTA San Andreas has a few good ones my Favorite Being AXL Rose as the DJ from KDST.

Crusader: No Remorse
Wicked good acting in general (it had full motion video sequences in live action) and just a criminally underrated game from the DOS era.
The entire Command & Conquer series when Westwood was still handling them, especially Red Alert 2.

"Trust me."
For me, one 2001 game is lodged forever in my mind, Hostile Waters
It's a great game, although sadly won't run on modern systems. And not strictly voice acting, more narration, but I've just re-watched the intro and Tom Baker's narration still gives me shivers.
Almost a quarter of a century since I first played it, the phrase "These are hostile waters" in Tom's voice still pops into my head from time to time.
Resident Evil on the PlayStation
Isaac Clarke in the first Dead Space
I don't play as many games as some of you, but Christopher Judge as Kratos is my favorite.

I remember most of the super giant and double fine games having good voice acting. Jennifer Hale Femshepard from mass effect is a classic, and Matt Mercer does some great work with Edér and Aloth in pillars of eternity. Anything Keith David does is gold.
The female player character in Outriders was surprisingly very good. With the right face and hair, it was like Bobby Draper from The Expanse.
Too bad the rest of the game was kind of meh.
