I suppose Baldur’s Gate 3 could be an example for a lot of people. Any recent or just “recent” release you are waiting for to get at the moment?
Bout cyberpunk 2077 for $20 three months ago.
Still buggy. It was okay. Lots of boring combat. But the story, acting, and world? Amazing! I had to use a mod to help change some of the hotkeys.
After 25 hours… Update broke my save.
Id say keep waiting until 2025 when the GoTY is released and fanpatches exist.
