I feel like cel shading never took off they way it could have. Outside of anime style games it seems like it always takes a back seat to realism which sucks because it's looks rad as hell. XIII and Viewtiful Joe are two examples that stick out in my memory, plus Wind Waker pissed off so many Zelda fans who wanted a grimdark Peter Jackson LoZ game. It was great.

While technically not cel shaded. The Borderlands series uses a comic artstyle very much inspired by it. That would be a big one.

It's really difficult to make it not look bad in many cases, it often comes out blotchy
Hi-Fi Rush if a recent non-anime game that is cel shaded but it still has a tinge of anime vibes.
I never actually owned Viewtiful Joe, but I did have the demo disc and I played through it like a million times. Loved the shit out of that demo.
BOMB RUSH CYBERFUNK
I must say BRC is the finest game ever made and it slaps
