Tanks, mechanised warfare 1950s-present: Steel Beasts Pro 3.0/4.0. See tanksim subsection in this forum, two threads there, one stickied info thread, one new on upcoming version 4.0. Serious simulation, hardcore. Its training tool in over one dozen Western armies. Challenge lies in tactics. Interface is easy to learn, mission is difficult to master. Be prepared to die a lot. - One of the best simulations I have ever come across in the past 25 years, and the dominator in its field since over 15 years.

Simulation-heavy driving, I mean: really realistic physics: Assetto Corsa. Persoinally, I also like Raceroom Racing, wich is a bit more laid back on physics, but also has many strengths. AC was the first simulator doing a lasersacanned Nordschleife. - This title is my primary PC activity today.

The flightsims of DCS.

Prepar3D 3.0

Still so: Falcon 4.0 .

ArmA is a very nice infantry simulator. But the vehicles are terrible, awful, and hopelessly unrealistic. Best used as an infantry-only simulator.

Personally I still play The Hunter, but the business model is not for everybody. Yes, its a hunting sim.The best there is. -

Fallout 4 and Skyrim may not be sims, but I cannot leave without mentioning them. Maybe the two most-played games in my history. Open World themes just are my thing.

Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm is a classic hex-field cosim - and a very well-done, complex and "realistic" one - but also: a very lethal one. Nicely depicts how potentially devastating a Sowjet onslaught durign the cold war would have been in Germany, I never believed that NATO would have easily stopped it. These old hexfield cosims somehow just have something about them. Sovjet artillery and helicopters this game will teach you to fear. - Not to be mistaken with Operation Flashpoint, which was before ArmA.

This is Subnautica. -

And finally - don't laugh - Tennis. A PC without a chess program and a tennis game simply is not complete.

And Tennis Elbow 2013 is easily the most realistic and superior tennis simulation that has ever been done so far. The lloks are a bit aged, but the gameplay trumps that of any other tennis title. On Steam, for little money. Play it with mouse - and learn to appreciate how intuitive and diverse ball control options are.
