I'll recommend to you a great game called "New World"!  It's an MMORPG, and it has every aspect of what is to look forward to as a benchmark for a first game made from scratch, made on a new game engine, it is great. The graphics are smooth and gorgeous. The lore and setting are both entertaining and innovative. Game mechanics are enjoyable with only a couple of minor exceptions. There is no swimming just literally walking underwater. The jump could be a little better, but you have a phenomenal set of movements for getting over rough terrain.

Overall, if you like pirates, MMO's, or skill-based systems, then this is your game. Thus far they have committed to not being a pay-to-win system, and so far all purchasable items that take real money are all purely cosmetic. New World combines a good mix of new features with some of the better old MMO standards. I have a couple of games in my Steam library that have over 1,000 hours of playtime, I can easily see myself doubling that with New World. I hope you give it a try.
