I own and play a lot of games... This below is my current top 21 games.

1. Metro Exodus (actually all Metro games are equally #1)
2. Stalker and Stalker 2
3. Kenshi
4. Elden Ring
5. Kingdom Come
6. Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader
7. Fallout 4
8. Morrowind (though this is old now, IMO it was far better than Skyrim)
9. Hollow Knight
10. Hades
11. Civilisation 5 (Though 6 is better looking)
12. Satisfactory (and Factorio)
13. System Shock
14. Divinity Original Sin 2 (and the original Divine Divinity from 2002)
15. PB games: Gothic 2 & 3, Rizen 1 & 3 and Elex
16. Cyberpunk 2077
17. Baldur's Gate 3
18. Marvel's Midnight Suns
19. Aliens Dark Descent
20. AC Odyssey (I get annoyed of Ubisoft copy/paste templates, but that world was too gorgeous to ignore)
21. Skyrim (yea it still makes the list)

There are other games that could fit in there. but these are the ones that really clicked with me and were beyond just "good"
