Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

Although this game is not without its imperfections, I must give it a perfect score of 10 out of 10. It's hard to put into words why I loved it so much - perhaps it was the fantasy setting, complete with knights, magic, and enormous monsters, including dragons that you could climb onto and stab in the eyes. The story, while intriguing in its own way, unfortunately lacked depth. Similarly, the characters were not particularly remarkable, although the character editor was a nice touch. Despite the game's relatively small open world, I found it to be expansive due to the constant threat of enemies, particularly at night. I adored the gameplay, the world, and the overall experience. The "Dark Arisen" DLC was a fantastic, grim addition to the game. I have lost count of how many times I have completed the game and how many hundreds of hours I have invested in it.
