Honorable mention fir Outer Wilds, cause taking notes and keeping track of things you learn is critical to the gameplay, but the game actually provides an excellent UI already it already.
Also, Elden Ring and other FromSoft games are a contender, cause when you meet a random NPC that says like 3 lines of dialog and doesn't repeat them, you're gonna have trouble remembering any of that 20 hours later when yoy meet them again.
I've wanted to do this for awhile with a RPG - you might have convinced me to do this on the next one I pick up.
Funny you mention Riven, that was my first offender too way back in the day.
Recently, it's mainly with KSP and Cities:Skylines for planning stuff while I don't have access to the game.
In-person tabletop RPGs. My group have been playing 1st Edition AD&D and a compact, modernized version of D&D Basic/Expert called Old School Essentials.
