Probably this. I've enjoyed Quake 4 and Doom 3 - as games they were pretty alright, they were shit doom/quake games, but as games in general - not bad. And then Doom released. O boi.
Rage 1/2 - mediocre games, but not bad.

Paradox Interactive? They release their grand strategies. And while people joke that Europa Universalis 4 with all DLCs costs like 150 eur, it's 150 eur over 7 years, and I've spent a couple of thousand hours playing it, so not that expensive. Altho they did some shady shit even if they backed down after backlash...
From Software - they're just releasing their Souls games without much drama that are great games. New Armored Core would be cool, but hey.
