The person perhaps (eventually) most qualified to answer this might be Graeldon, who is on a quest to play every Steam game in alphabetical order.
F encompasses all the Final Fantasy , Final Fight, Fable, Fallout, Far Cry, Forza Horizon series, and some individual games like Forspoken, Forsaken, Fez, Fermi Paradox, Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy, Fae Tactics and many others.
T

The
For the sake of adding something new, X is pareto optimal in terms of having both the best and the fewest games.

Xenogears

Xenosaga (maybe, haven't played it yet)

Xenoblade anything

X-COM anything

I'd probably be content with only playing games from the Xeno- meta-series alone.
- You also get a decent number of X-Men games
T

The Legend of Zelda
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
The....

- Tomb raider, Tmnt Tom clancy's * Tekken Time crisis

S because all of my games are on the S drive. Checkmate!
B

Baldur's Gate 3
U -ultimate edition

Anno

Assassin's Creed

Aloft

Against the Storm

Across the Obelisk
