The only games I can think of are vampire the masquerade: bloodlines and the old deus ex games.
...I guess bloodlines is 'old' too
Ghost Recon: Breakpoint.
It's another game that was released in a horrible state but in this case the developers actually fixed the game and made it into a great stealth/war sandbox. The developers thought they knew what gamers wanted (common these days) and released a game that was the exact opposite of what gamers wanted but after the backlash instead of insisting the paying customers were wrong, they were humbled and valued their customers (or at the very least valued their money) enough to completely revamp the game with tons of free content and enhancements that made the game fun to play and a worthy purchase.
It's nice when development studios realize that they're producing a product for customers and that they're not entitled to our money.

Dishonored & Prey - The Arkane Collection
But during the download, after more than a year, I take a look on Grounded on Series X. Lot of change and it's gorgeous and spiders still terrifying...(for me at least)
- Dishonored: Definitive Edition (contains the full game and all add-on content)
- Dishonored
- Dishonored: Death of the Outsider
- Prey

I thought I've lost my videogame passion for good after realising I have lost the interest I once had in games like NIOH or AC Origins or Dark Souls. I still think those have many qualities, but for some reason one day I felt the thrill was gone.
Then, 2 weeks ago I visited a friend who owns a mini Super NIntendo and we spent an afternoon playing Mario Kart and TMNT. That's was very refreshing. So now I'm having fun with games with simple commands (jump, crouch, run) -- which doesn't mean, of course, those are "simpler games" than the above. Or better. Maybe I just have my share of 3rd person action RPG game.
I'll still come back to Dark Souls and try to finish it, but only because it's very unique (level design, intriguing world). I didn't finish the second The Witcher 3 DLC, the one about the vineyards and I intend to. But then again, It's a truly unique game.
Maybe I grow tired of repeatedly giving a shot to ARPG games only because they are ARPG games.
Anyway, now I'm having a blast with Spelunky. What a devilish game. And I have an eye on Crypt of the Necrodancer, which is on sale now on PSN Store.

I feel it's like so many of us are on hold, like, we keep getting back to our favorite games not only because we love 'em and they are truly great (whatever it is, if you love it, I'm sure it's great), but because we failed to connect the same way to newer games.
I know I'm not alone when I say I'm always looking for new unforgettable experiences. But are we getting it lately? Is it time for a new TW3, a new The Last of Us?
That is always the way. I still find myself comparing every RPG I play to Ultima VII. I still compare every Action game I play to Kingdoms of Amalur. I compare every strategy game to the original X-COM...
Sometimes, games just resonate with certain people. (It's why I've always got Amalur and X-COM installed on my PC.)
Not sure where to share this, but a very cool video about progress of Start Citizen renderer moving to Vulkan:
Still playing cyberpunk even though V struggles to go anywhere without getting the NCPD Interested I see someone has made a mod to stop the unprovoked attacks on you may try It laters.
Started playing Hellblade Senuas Sacrifice it was released in 2017 but has just had a new enhanced edition update.
So far pretty awesome game.

The Outer Worlds. About a third way through a second playthrough, hadn't played it since it came out and trying to decide whether to try the DLCs (which are on sale right now).
Plus a bit of Rebel Galaxy Outlaw on the side.

I finished Peril on Gorgon and I'm 2/3 of Eridanos, Peril pace is similar to main game Eridanos is more slow paced but I'm enjoying it.
I recently finished the Ace Attorney Trilogy. I played it as a kid on the nintendo ds. Didn't hesitate to buy it on steam once had found out, that it's also available for pc now. It's still fantastic.
After playing Cyberpunk 2077 as my main computer game for most of the last year (my main non-computer game is Dungeons & Dragons), I've finally started playing something else - Horizon Zero Dawn.
Though I'll likely return to Cyberpunk sometime in the near future.
Cheers,
Merric
