Anything Bethesda. I can never play more than a couple hours before I get bored.

I think most are carried by their modding communities at this point which can be so involved they fundamentally change every aspect of the game.

There's definitely some nostalgia glasses.

And I dunno where you started, but I've been playing BGS since Oblivion, and couldn't even get through an hour of Starfield. It played like a upscaled Xbox 360 game, with all the jank, yet none of the charm, more filler, all the loading screens, yet somehow ran like molasses. I have no idea what folks see in that game, despite the premise basically being made for me.

Oblivion's side quests (and into) had charm though. Especially the Shivering Isles, that was great.

They have a bit of a "if you've played one you've played them all" problem
