    Cyberpunk. They fixed most of the issues the game had at launch. There’s a dlc coming out soon too that will add a bunch of hours, and with it they are reworking loads of mechanics for free. Can’t recommend it enough.

      Cyberpunk for me as well. When it first came out, I played it on a GTX970 and enjoyed every moment of it. Low settings, low frames. Ugly as fuck, but still high tech, still low life. Even with all its issues, it was the first game in years where I completed the story. And then did it again.

      I recently upgraded my video card along with a 4K monitor and tried replaying the story, but haven’t made much progress because I usually just walk around and look at all the pretty. Yesterday I spent well over an hour in one of the clubs looking at NPCs, walls, and tables. 10 minutes of it was staring at blinking lights on circuit boards inside a floor panel.

          There’s so much variation… I do the same, wandering around at night, just looking around.

          One time I found myself in some dilapidated area with oil derrigs (the big pumps idk wht they’re called) and it was all foggy, almost monochrome. mud everywhere.

          It was so beautiful.

    Civilization 4: Fall from heaven: Ashes of Erebus. It can be played multiplayer of course, but I almost exclusively play single-player. The lore is fun, the event system can be interesting, the combinations of awesome Civs+Leaders+Religions+Magic really up the replayability. The end game with hundreds of units amongst a large number of factions with hell terrain encroaching makes for a very dynamic endgame.
