Minecraft.
I know what you're going to say, here. "WTF? Minecraft is universally acclaimed!"
However, from everything I've ever seen, no, it isn't. Minecraft is a game which almost everyone has played, but it (particularly vanilla or unmodded) is not necessarily a game which everyone likes. There is a difference between universal visibility, and universal appeal.
Minecraft in my observation primarily appeals to people from outside the traditional "gaming," demographic, in the same way that The Sims did. The old school FPS bracket in particular seem unenthusiastic about it, when the irony there is that with the appropriate mods, Minecraft is easily one of the greatest FPS experiences I've ever had; and I say that as someone who was at high school when the original Doom was released. Minecraft offers a potential level of tactical freedom which you won't find anywhere else.
I'm also not talking about Battle Royale here, either. I play exclusively single player PvE.
