Cyberpunk 2077

Apparently the game was such a disaster at launch that shareholders sued the game’s producer CD Projekt Red and won a settlement against the company.

I recently picked it up on sale and with the addition of a healthy dose of mods (the game is the fifth most popular on Nexus) it’s a truly enjoyable experience. In fact, it sets the standard for open world games so high for me that I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy Bethesda games ever again.

Star Wars: The Old Republic

The base game has the best quests and dialogue of any MMORPG I’ve yet played. The later expansions (Knights of the Fallen Empire and Knights of the Fallen Throne) are awful and cost money, so you can just play the base game for free and never even have to spend a penny to get eight unique class storylines to play for free. It’s honestly the last great game from Bioware.
