WoW story is still worse than ever, so I don’t have a single teeny-tiny urge to buy a subscription, level anything and/or gear up and delve through LFRs.

I have Genshin Impact, I have Starcraft I both in upgraded graphics and Carbot Animation versions to replay, I have Baldur’s Gate 3, Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, Cyberpunk 2077… and this:
I laughed my eyeballs out while playing a number of trial matches.
