I had a great time playing the Shadowrun setting with Tiny Dungeons + Tiny Frontiers mashed together (no spaceships though).
What if your favorite game setting and why?

So I can't say what my favorite setting is from a ttrpg standpoint. There are of course lots of ttrpg's settings that I enjoy from a setting lore standpoint. DeltaGreen, Warhammer 40k, Ashlands MERCs, Traveller, etc. But I wouldn't classify any of them as a particular favorite of mine... maybe DeltaGreen.
But as far as fictional settings go, and ones that you can just slap over the top of any system that's rules agnostic I think Metal Gear is probably my favorite game* setting ever devised. The Metal Gear franchise in terms of storytelling, coupled with some of the whacky and absurd aspects taken as part of a fairly straight setting just does something for me.

Sometimes, we pick up settings through cultural osmosis. e.g. I've never seen or read Game of Thrones, but even I know that winter is coming.
Similarly, I've never read a Warhammer 40K novel, but, man! Do those space marines with their bolter guns (I even know the weapon's name) look badass or what? I know that in the future, there is only war. I know that orks are waaaagh boyz, and that tyranids are knockoff aliens.
So even though I don't know much about Warhammer 40k, it's one that looks really cool to an outsider.
