The Dragon Age game with the least compelling story in my opinion. The gameplay is the most fun out of all 3 released games, but the story was extremely lacking + the DLC debacle of 2015 took it down a few pegs in my eyes.
Don't put the ending of your game behind a paywall. Also the fandom is genuinely one of the most toxic I have ever been a part of.

Amazing remake of the classic Pathologic. Its horror and gameplay elements are unlike those I've ever experienced, and its worth playing and replaying for that alone. There's also a hugely dedicated fandom for this game online with really unique art and fanfics.
Hopefully the game's bugs and uncompleted routes will be updated one day.

One of my favorite games of all time for nostalgic reasons, the older I've gotten the more I've come to terms with its flaws. The game is not really playable without mods to fix broken questlines, which if you don't mind doing, isn't a huge deal.
This game is special to me and its soundtrack will always be one of the best game soundtracks I've ever listened to.

If you're a fan of the original trilogy, I would recommend Legendary Edition for a few reasons: combat is more streamlined, Mass Effect 1 is actually playable now, and the graphics updates make all three games look gorgeous.
It definitely feels like a more unified series in this edition as opposed to three games with a matching title. The streamlined combat REALLY helps with this. The way you fight in ME1 is the same way you fight in ME3 (disregarding omni-jel and user interface inessentials that somehow still made it into ME1). Leveling up is more simplified, and they changed the way XP is awarded so you can level faster (this is also an option you can turn off if you liked it the old way).
Mass Effect 1 received the majority of the work for these remasters and that's blatant upon game open. If you've played the original, you might remember how unfriendly the UI was, how clunky the combat felt, and the effing elevator simulator every time you went to a new area. Elevator simulator is now skippable; combat is doable, and the interfaces are made slightly more user-friendly. If you ever wanted to play the first game, this edition is the superior way to experience it for the first time.
Graphics updates include updated models across all games, updated interface graphics, updated level graphics, the list goes on. There's even ray tracing now. It looks gorgeous.
TLDR; If you love Mass Effect, Legendary is worth it.

A really fun MMO for people who like the Elder Scrolls universe; there's always a lot of new content, and the year long DLC releases are a refreshing addition to MMOs without fleshed out DLC content. You are also able to complete the storylines of this game single-player, which is what drew me to it. Overall would return to playing whenever they release a DLC that interests me!
