For me, personally, Witcher 3, as strange as this may sound.
Neither of the first two games ever really struck me as "amazing", despite all the great reviews the second one got from both critics and users alike. Good, but not that great is how I felt about them.
So I was rather cautious about 3, but with everyone I know that's into RPGs raving about it, I decided to take the plunge. By the end of the main story (and most of the secondary quests), I was floored. This was truly an amazing game. The entire quest line involving the Bloody Baron is one of my all time favourite story parts of a video game and I'll probably remember it vividly for years to come.
Another one is Assassin's Creed IV.
Was already disappointed by AC III, and then when they started pushing the whole naval combat thing, I thought it's going to be shit. But I was a huge AC fan at that time, so I got it anyway, and was pleasantly surprised when the naval combat was addictive as hell and improved the formula of AC a lot.
