Amemiyage
Every game (to my knowledge) that has had involvement from prolific artist and director Keita Amemiya. Please watch the Zeiram movies and the Iria OVA, thank you! If you know of any game I've missed, shout in the comments so it can be added to the Keita Canon.

Bit of a tricky one, this - Wikipedia credits him with character designs, but he doesn't seem to actually be credited anywhere in the game. He did direct the movie, though, and the designs are absolutely in line with his style.
Not sure if this actually features any footage that wasn't from the movie, but all the movie footage that is there is stuff he directed and did the designs for, so...
Character design, though I'd wager a lot of the environments are down to him as well. One of the enemies in this is straight up just the Zeiram hat.
Just credited as a writer on this, but it's a tie-in with an anime that he came up with, which is itself a tie-in with the two Zeiram live-action movies which he wrote, directed and did designs for, so I'd say his involvement is a little deeper here!
Credited as an illustrator (the box art seen on here is definitely his work), although his own website credits him with character design as well.
Credited as "author", though I'm not sure if this is in reference to him being the creator of the movie or if he wrote stuff specifically for this game. Either way it's a Zeiram game, so it's here!
Credited as Director and Art Director.
Credited as director and animator.
Director and character designer. I would never have been able to tell!
Character designer. Imagine waking up every day knowing you are the man who gave the world Gogandantess. What a life that must be...
Character designer. A friend showed me what the Scissorguy looks like in this game, and I said "that's just an Onimusha character", and then I found out Amemiya designed him. Score one for me!
Seen him credited as character design and writer. Not sure if both are accurate, but character design is probably a safe bet.
Reuses Onimusha 2 designs.
More reusing Onimusha 2 designs.
Production Designer.
Art design for the Azuchi Castle area, apparently.
Art director. You could not keep this dude away from PS2-era samurai games!
Not actually credited on the game as far as I can see, but again the game is an adaptation of a show he's responsible for most of, so I assume he at least had some passing involvement.
Credited as Art Director.

truly such an incredible creative voice in the industry, thanks for shining a spotlight on these titles! i remember enjoying what i played of dororo quite a lot :)
@FallenGrace - The OVA rules! I don't know exactly what you'd call the style of all the tech in it but I love it. The movies are a real good time too, I wish he'd made more in that setting.
@01156 - No problem! I agree, love his work!

Great list idea!
A few additions:
Along with Genji: Dawn of the Samurai, he was also credited for Art Direction in the sequel, Genji: Days of the Blade.
He also did boss designs for Final Fantasy XIV for the Return to Ivalice alliance raid series. There's some examples of these in this old blog post. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/blog/002739.html
Also, he has a few other smaller contributions too. He did the cover art for the Famicom game Seiken Psycho Calibur. He also did the flyer art for the original arcade release of Bravoman (in a very different art style than usual). He also directed a promotional video for the arcade game Genpei Tōma Den. You can find all of that here. https://videogamesdensetsu.tumblr.com/post/143792083185/keita-amemiya
