Of course, I have to mention Baldur's Gate 3. It needs no introduction. Amazing game in every sense of the word. Bought it on launch weekend and spent every free hour for the next two months playing. I love my Tav, Vier, so goddamn much, and Astarion was built in a lab for me.

And now a classic, Grandia II! Grandia II is a wonderful JRPG that's held up over the decades. Fantastic voice acting (courtesy of a ton of MGS alumni plus THE LITTLE FREAKIN' MERMAID HERSELF), unique fast-paced combat that rewards planning, fascinating story. First game to make me cry.
