I still can't get over The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? I want to try something newer, with better technology, but I hope they can be as rich and interesting as Skyrim.

I've bounced off this game twice, the early PS4 disaster and another attempt admittedly before all the fixes.
I have a PS5 now, so maybe it's finally time to give it another try
It is. Easily one of the best games of all time.
Yeah it was a buggy mess for a good while, but it is such a great game now.
It definitely was.
Besides just the bugs back in the day, the nature of them was so drastically different between systems. I played at launch on PC, and even then I put ~100 hours into it. The bugs on the PC version were more gameplay/story based and less about performance. I think it was easily the most playable version at launch. Some of them were just funny and I remember giggling when a car would fly into the air or an NPC would t-pose. But I was able to progress and the game didn't run like dogshit.
Console versions depended heavily on which console. The PS4 (non-Pro) version probably just should never have existed. Downright unplayable mess.
But the turnaround really even rivals No Man's Sky's turnaround. It helps that the story in Cyberpunk was always pretty solid. I still wish there were more variation between character paths in the early game. That's really my only remaining gripe.
Funny enough I just started playing No Man's Sky after bouncing off of it hard when it was fairly new. There is a LOT going on in the game now compared to near launch.
I went through the No Mans Sky turn around, and ended up loving the game. I always thought Cyberpunk would rock, given the team behind it.
You've convinced me that it's my next big play through.
