No Man's Sky

Isn't this the one that crashed and burned on launch, but the devs owned their mistakes and put a ton of work into patching and upgrading? What a fuckin redemption arc for it to end up on this list unironically.

    It's a fantastic game and it keeps getting better. They don't even put it behind a DLC paywall. Buy the game and that's it. It's refreshing to see a developer stick to their principles.

    Do you need to be involved much in multiplayer to enjoy the game or is it possible to just mind your own business without much interaction

    It's almost better alone in my opinion. Or with a friend. Playing with random people online is almost unheard of. The Galaxy is big, and you are very small. You could go your whole playthrough barely interacting with anyone if you avoid using the hub. The world still feels a little empty but considering the scope of what they've accomplished it's still impressive.

    I have about 500 hours and can confirm that it's excellent. One of my top five games I've played of all time.

    That's NMS, Superhot, Baldur's Gate III, Horizon Chase Turbo, and Plants vs Zombies, fwiw, in no particular order.

    Yes! The devs are still putting out updates that are entirely free! Like recently they've added new types of buildings and NPC ran stuff for your settlements, overhauled the planet Gen, added new planet types, overhauled the rendering engine, completely redid the ocean biomes so now there's animals and plants and biomes all under water.

    Hello Games may have launched a really bad game, but they have cemented themselves as my favorite game company because they just straight up admitted they messed up, and then have been grinding away at making the game better and better and better for the last 9 years (which side note, holy crap it's been 9 years. Ugh I'm feeling old now)

    They are coming out with a new game that I am very very excited for too.
