Burning Wheel's Artha system has players create goals that are tied to their beliefs and related to their character's relationships and back stories. When one of these goals are achieved in game the player gains a large chunck of progression.
Small chunks of progression in that game work similarly to Skyrim: when attempting an action a character moves closer to improving their ability with that skill.
It is an excellent system that my playgroup returns to every few years.

Definitely, even better if you can try during a free weekend or get it half price on a sale.
Amazing with friends, on your own or with randos.
So many organic ways to interact and communicate with other players. Seriously cool, unique and worthwhile experience.
Sea of Thieves.
There has never and will never be any pay to win. Everyone has access to all weapons at any time, no unlocking, just pure skill.
Up to 4 players on your team (ship) open servers with other players all sailing around all the time. You can get in an organic fight over treasure, or matchmake for ranked battles.
All of the progression is cosmetic based.
The devs have been adding content constantly since launch that fleshes out the game systems and makes for more interesting interaction.
I come back to this game all the time. Highly recommend.

It's going to be the seat from thr 25yo that the Cons stole from their experienced incumbent.
I wish Alberta were quiet.

Plug this puppy into the deck and have a massive virtual 1080p 120hz screen projected into your field of view.
I use it daily and couldn't be happier with it.
Either 'God of Gamblers' or 'Infernal Affairs'. Both are HK flicks.
First is an 80s comedy, second is what 'The Departed' is a remake of.
If someone shows you who they are: believe them.
The guy behind The New Oil is half of the team behind Surveillance Report. It's a killer podcast well worth your time. Videos are on YouTube and elsewhere.
Last time I had my tires changed I had to bring it back to ask the mechanic for my tires back.
He was more reluctant that I expected.
