Cave Story
Iji
La-Mulana (the original one with 16 colors)
An Untitled Story (the Jumper series is great too, Jumper Two actually has my favourite physics of any platformer)
Wesnoth again
unfree games:
Psychonauts - probably my favourite game ever, just because of its amazing writing.
Undertale - I'm sure you've heard enough about this game already but it really is worth playing, it's subversive and also it creates furries
The Talos Principle - completely blindsided me, I never expected a big-budget puzzle game to actually be good and not called Portal.

i will say this: it is good in spite, not because, of the voice acting

Well the thing is the voice acting in X isn't actually THAT bad, compared to the sum whole of the dubbing world. I can think of worse games. Or at least parts of games. I'm looking at you, Kingdom Hearts Wakka.
The thing about X was that it was the very first Final Fantasy with voice acting, which means Square didn't know how/didn't care to lip sync to English the way all of their titles proceeding X would do. That's really the reason why X had any real bad voice acting at all, because being forced to match the lips of the Japanese speaking characters makes English sound particularly weird at times.
Previous games could be worse with their translations anyway. Final Fantasy VII, for instance. "This guy are sick!" And lots of other examples...

Hilariously bad translations were the only thing that made most jrpgs tolerable imo. Some of my friends and I have had good times playing Legend of Dragoon while making up voices for the ridiculous dialogue
