Pokémon, specifically the Mystery Dungeon games do a lot for me. It's a pretty obvious choice but being able to play as an Espeon is So Nice and it was my first species euphoria experience at age 10 with the first games.
Bayonetta is really good for Homura feelings specifically. My canon has a lot of similarities with it, especially demon- and angel-wise, and of course, Bayonetta's powers and weapons are all similar to mine. Satisfies that general hunting urge a lot. Big bonus points for also being able to shapeshift into panther and crow forms.
Lately, Monster Hunter Rise has also been really nice, weirdly enough? May actually be the opposite for a lot of folks lol but it hits a lot of notes with my draconic/therian territorial urges. The Wyvern Riding mechanic is especially nice for this since you get to beat up monsters while 'being' other monsters. I wanna try out the ranged weapons like Bowgun and Bow to see if it also satisfies the weapon feelings with Homura; I made a character that looks super similar to me and being able to have pointy dragon people ears on top of that gives me lots of euphoria.

There's a new HTTYD minecraft dlc and I'll post here once I get to try it.
Also adding that Titan Uprising has drakn renders that have a few animations like being idle with breathing and blinking. The art style of DreamWorks Dragons is kinda off from what drakns looked like in my canon, but still seeing 3D breathing alive-looking drakns feels very good. (I'll add some gifs to this post)

Oh my gosh I am ADDICTED to this game. Titan Uprising is great, I love petting the baby Light Fury. It's really fun.
Warframe is really nice for me when I feel like playing it. The amount of customizeability means that I can make a look that feels pretty comfortable and a lot of the frame powers feel nice to use. Currently Wisp and Xaku are my favorite as far as looks like me go, but I also love Mag and Nova for unrelated reasons. Also the home base ship is rather similar in concept (but not in appearance) to my own spaceship kintype.
It's easy because I'm from a game aha... Wadanohara and The Great Blue Sea is my comfort game (or just a game that sparks a shift easily). Also, there's an MMO called fer.al that maybe may be of interest to some of you? It's where you can play as an animal (like fox-like or deer-like creatures, if I remember correctly).
Horizon Zero Dawn, just due to personality similarities between Aloy and myself, along with the gameplay and the areas of exploration offered. It has a similar vibe to my world, and, being based on Earth, the area of the Rocky Mountains has always sparked some intense hiraeth in me.
I'm excited for the second. I hope we go far enough north to see the cascades. c:
There's also Monster Hunter, I do love having a big glaive and the ability to customize my character to look a little like myself.

Minecraft is probably the biggest one, for a number of reasons. One of my kintypes is from there so it's very familiar and cozy, of course, but it's also good for indulging in my inner dragon. Flying around an Amplified world on elytra feels amazing, and I really like exploring the new cave generation for the upcoming update, too. They feel very den-like to me.
I think this is just because hyperfixated on it for so long and sank so many hours into it, but ARK: Survival Evolved just feels like home. I don't have any kintypes related to it though, so I assume the past hyperfixation is why. That said, I believe ARK's raptors are a hearttype for me though, if that counts.
Okami, Meadow, Fer.al, Feral Heart, and looking forward to an upcoming game called The Great Circle- it's gonna be an open world survival game where you can play as an number of African animals!
Seconding Feral Heart, Wolf Quest, Fer.al, Meadow, etc, all amazing games I used to spend a lot of time on. There's one I love called Niche: A Genetics Survival Game that's now out on switch! Definitely recommend it if you're more into strategy games or have an interest in genetics

I haven't replayed it in a while but Skyrim was a BIG one for me,the werewolves in that game are damn near perfect. I also previously put hundreds of hours into Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, once that got the expansion that let you be a werewolf.
I'm gonna second the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, they're so cool and it's really fun to play a game where you once had a human body but suddenly wake up in the body of a monster. Plus I just love the Pokemon series (and also get vague kith or kin vibes from lycanrocs) so I feel kind of at home in those games.
And I like that a couple people have mentioned Monster Hunter! It's cool to make a character who looks kind of like me (and there are some outfits that have tails or ears) and it feels good to explore and hunt and run through the forests and jungles, and see all the cool and interesting wildlife. I can just get completely sucked into Monster Hunter for hours
A couple people have mentioned Lost Ember, which looks really really interesting and has been on my wishlist for a good while tbh. I'm glad to hear it's good and fulfilling!!
ripley's believe it or not made me who i am today ------ oh no a full moon!!! get away before i transform into a horrible monster that just wants treats and tummy rubs!!!
Mass Effect, of course, since it's where krogans are from. That one kind of goes without saying.
Pokemon is huge for me, the Pokemon world has always felt like home. I'm not sure if I'm kin or hearted with any Pokemon, or if the universe is just super important to me, but it's definitely a comfort world.
Spyro, especially the Reignited trilogy. Although I don't think I'm a dragon specifically from that universe anymore, as a kid I heavily imprinted on that universe. Now, running around in the stunning Reignited graphics, it still feels like home.
Sly Cooper, especially the first one, is another comfort game. I don't really know whether or not this one's kin-related, though, it might just be that I enjoy playing it a lot lol
WoW itself isn't really a hearthome, but the druid cat form is really nice to run around in. I haven't played much of it but my friend recently talked me into playing it with her, and she called me "Good kitty!" as I was running around in feline form and I absolutely melted with kin feels.
I feel like I'm forgetting some, but that's all I can think of right now. I'm definitely keeping an eye on this thread though, for more games to check out.

For me it has to be Subnautica. Its nice to be able to swim around and just enjoy the vast ocean scenery. Ya, it can get spooky sometimes, but after a while you learn to get mad at all the scary creatures instead of getting scared of them 😆
Oh, this one hasn't released yet but it is set to release soon and I highly recommend any of you checking out the creators (especially dragonkins): Draconia. It's essentially an open world rpg that you play as a dragon and you just do dragon stuff. I follow the subreddit to keep up with new information.
The mobile game monument valley really speaks to me in an alterhuman sense. I can't pin point why exactly, I think it's a combination of style, sound design, environment, character design... basically the whole thing lol.
Fer.al is another good one, as is pony town. I enjoy playing then to meet up with my packmates. I also like creating my 'types or flickers in pony town.
Aliens vs Predator 2 is one that really stands out to me; one of the few games at the time that let you be a terrifying monster and devour corpses for health.
