Soul Reaver.
The game has a strong atmosphere, with an interesting gameplay mechanic where you can move between the underworld and the overworld. In the underworld, the geometry of everything twists and warps and different enemies spawn, which adds another dimension to the puzzle elements of the game.
The world building, atmosphere, voice acting, music, puzzles, and combat are all great for the time.
