Genshin Impact. I played the first 10 hours to give it a chance, and just chuckled at what a "cheap BotW clone" it was. But then they added a cute character (Eula), and I thought I'd just try to pull for that character and decided to play it again.
I've now put in probably 400+ hours and it's my most played free-to-play game. And I wholeheartedly accept I was wrong about it, and how far its come is actually impressive enough that other games began copying its core ideas and gacha system. That, and the music is pretty much THE highest quality videogame music out there. I'm pretty sure the composer(s) are given nearly unlimited budgets at this point lol
To imagine, it's only halfway through its content roadmap, too...
