for me mine are 1. Elden Ring, 2. RDR2 3. BOTW, all because they genuinely blew my mind when playing them for the first time and changed how I saw and played video games.

      Didn’t that one come out at the same time as Oblivion? I could be misremembering but I feel like KoA was nicknamed “the poor person’s oblivion” or something like that.

        It came out like 3 months after Skyrim, while I was waiting for their patches to fix its game-breaking bugs.

          Yeah you’re right, just looked it up. I guess it was called the poor man’s Skyrim then. Funny how memory works (or doesn’t sometimes).
