Have you played War for the Overworld? Based on DK but reworked and (imo at least) improved
proudly displays kickstarter Bedrock Beta
EDIT: BTW, you need to check out KeeperFX if you haven't already :) :)
Diablo 1/2
Dynasty Warriors 2, Dynasty Warriors 3, Dynasty Warriors 4, Dynasty Warriors 5...
I don't know how much is truly infinitely replayable outside of tetris, but for what it's worth I have 250 hours into dead cells and I still haven't beaten 5 cells or even reached the final biome. You'll definitely get replay value out of it, the game is fantastic.
I put multiple thousand hours into Mount blade warband, Crusader Kings 2, Europa universalis 4, and more.
Honestly, Skyrim. With so many great mods available these days, you can literally turn it into a whole different game. And with modpacks on Nexus, Wabbajack or similar sites, it's easier than ever. I'm just getting back into it myself after 3 years, but I'm still a big fan of getting into the nitty gritty of it and configuring everything myself.
Factorio and RimWorld immediately come to mind. Even with the base unmodified game, you’ll likely get several weeks of gameplay out of Factorio. Then if you dive into modding, you’ll never put it down. Multiplayer is really nice too. And their big DLC just got announced, and is planned to drop in a few months. So now would actually be a great time to dive in, because you’ll get access to the DLC about the same time that you’ve burned through the content on the base game.
My most played games outside of actually multiplayer games are arpgs. Diablo(mostly 2 and 3), path of exile, last epoch. Diablo2 and last epoch can be played offline, PoE can't. And yes, they're technically online multiplayer games but most people play them alone so they might as well be single player games to me. After that my most played games are RPGs and rogue likes. Plenty of good suggestions for that already
Strictly speaking about single player games, as in no rogue likes and such, Max Payne 2 is probably the game I played most times over the years.
Red Dead Redemption 2, Fallout 4, the BioShock series
Doom? Does it have any wads you can play on... like myhouse.wad...
I have played the absolute shit out of Doom as well, basically all the official WADs, Master Levels, Sigil, you name it. I have tried myhouse.wad, but i was too big of a dum-dum to reach any of the secrets so I just quit and watched some youtube videos on it.

Holy shit... idk, at this point, Blood (FPS)...? There's this relatively recent mod of it called Death Wish as well...
I have played Blood too, as well as its Cryptic Passage expansion. Haven't played Duke Nukem or Shadow Warrior though, maybe someday.
Death Wish? Thanks, I'd never heard of it! I will definetly check it out!
I feel like the best options would be strategy such as CK3 as the other commenter mentioned or endless sandbox games like Minecraft and Euro/American Truck Simulator. X4 Foundations is a pretty fun space sim, and there are the Bethesda games with mods, Skyrim and Fallout 4 have some pretty cool mods and eventually Starfield too.
Just Cause 3, with the additional DLC. I've been through all of it three full times, slowly plugging through a fourth (when time allows)
I’ve played Risk of Rain 2 on and off for years and I’m not bored of it yet
I have enjoyed caves of qud. Feels like every run is brand new.
I was about to suggest "Balatro" but you don't want infinite dopamine game then play The Binding of Isaac:Rebirth.
