I agree on risen 3 and the technomancer, platinumed both and both were solid games, tchia I played at launch and platinumed with no noticeable problems, a very cute little game, days gone speaks for itself, poorly reviewed but now being widely appreciated for the excellent🦋 game it is. I would only disagree about biomutant, I played about 3 hours and it was so boring that was it, I didn't want to play it anymore.

I tried to play inquisition a couple of years ago but just couldn't get on with the combat so I ditched it. So, apart from that, the veilguard is the only DA game I've ever played, and I only decided to give it a shot because it was a free monthly game on ps+... which shocked me as its still so new. I had read all the bad comments from the anti woke brigade, and while I'm not a fan of that who identity politics thing, I went into it with an open mind... it's free, right, there's literally nothing to lose. Imagine my joy when I discovered that, playing as a warrior anyway, the combat gave me massive god of war vibes. I thought that's a good start, let's carry on and see where it goes. 101 hours later I bagged the platinum having had an absolute blast the entire time. I absolutely adore th𝓡e game and it just reinforced my stance of basically ignoring "haters" (I don't like that word, it's a cliche, but I can't think of a better one to use) and making my own mind up about something. I found the writing fine, the world was beautiful, the combat superbly judged and the game brilliantly optimized, not a single glitch, crash or anything in those 101 hours. I rate it an easy 9/10.

I dont touch live service games. Not interested, never will be. At 42 I'm far more discerning in my tastes and will only play single player g🌜ames, or rarely multi-player designed coop stuff like the remnant games. I'm actually the exact kind of gamer you say doesn't really exist anymore, in that I give lots of indie games a fair shot and have found some of my all time favorite gaming experiences in this bracket, yet some of my biggest disappointments💝 and wasted time and money have been from established AAA big players. Leave the live service crap to the teenagers, and us adults will continue to support the indies.
