Lesson is to make steps being even more patient and play backlogs and opt for older titles that are cheaper. Doesn't even have to be super old. Could be just within a year. Very few games these days that are an absolute much play the moment it drops. Haven't actually come across any of that caliber past decade, but maybe I'm too patient.

I've heard that Baldur's Gate 3 was a massively successful launchday title, though it's not my cup of coffee.

There are still good games around, just unfortunately not the majority of them

There were still a lot of bugs that they are still patching. But even on day 1 baldur's gate 3 was amazing.

Baldur's Gate 3 also was in Early Access for a few years so people had plenty of independent experiences to base their opinion on. The release content was more, true, but there were a lot of known factors.
