My top three has remained the same for about two decades now, those being Final Fantasy IX, The Legend of Dragoon, and Freespace 2, in that order. They are all games I fell in love with when I was first discovering that video games could be more than just a series gameplay challenges. That they could be used to tell stories and feature characters and events that genuinely had an emotional impact on me as a person. They are also all games I tend to go back to over and over again every so often, and every time I do I find something new to enjoy and love about them. In the years since I first played them some games have come close to unseating them from my top three (Dark Souls for example), but none have ultimately had the kind of impact those three had on me.
I don't think there's any one specific reason why they are my top three favourite games of all time. Nostalgia probably plays a factor, but I've found that I enjoy playing through FFIX, The Legend of Dragoon and Freespace 2 just as much now as I did almost 20 years ago when I first experienced them. The sense of discovery might not be there anymore since I know the games so well, but that has never diminished my enjoyment of them whatsoever.
