Best value for dollar is definitely Elite Dangerous. I bought it for 30 bucks and have around 1400 hours in it.
Worst value game that I bought and have played might be Cyberpunk 2077. I pre-ordered and have maybe four hours total played. I keep saying I need to go back and give it a proper go now that it's fixed but nah.
Cyberpunk is one of the best games of the last 10 years. The Phantom Liberty DLC is essential storytelling. You won't regret it
What's so good about Elite Dangerous? I hoped to enjoy it but bounced off pretty quickly.
Elite Dangerous is a game of grind. They have taken steps to reduce the grind in recent updates but it is still a grind fest.
For example, I took part in the Distant Worlds 2 expedition. I traveled across the galaxy and discovered worlds nobody else has ever seen. It was boring at times. It felt like a job at times. However, after months of grind, I was glad I did it. Distant Worlds 3 launched recently but I did not join. Once is enough.
I also earned enough rank to buy a Federal Corvette, and then sold it because I didn't get along with it. That was also a grind but I am glad I did it.
Don't get me started on unlocking engineers. Oh my God, that's a whole new level of grind. They have made it a bit easier since I started playing but it still a lot of work.
I know I'm not selling the game well. Unless you enjoy the grind, it really isn't something you would stick with. Doing anything is a slog and requires a bit of planning to execute. I must enjoy that or something.
Also, space. Who doesn't love space?
You really should go and give it a proper go
Alright, you convinced me. I have installed it again. Turns out I have 6.8 hours played according to Steam.
Yeah I know that feeling... I was so excited for Hogwarts Legacy, but it kept crashing on my PC every time I paused the game. I just stopped playing eventually, and never touched it again, even though it's patched now. There's like an emotional wall there or something lol
Hogwarts Legacy is another one I had a lot of fun with. The story is just alright but the vibes are honestly immaculate. I hope you go back and give it another shot, because it's just a fun game that I personally had a blast with, even if some of it was surface level.
Also I liked the lighting effects on my keyboard while playing. It'll cycle your house colors during general gameplay, and it'll flash with the different spell colors during combat. I thought that was a nice touch.
