If you like smaller games with still good graphics and also like to steal other people's stuff and/or kill them, The Dark Mod is for you. Immersive stealth sim based on id Tech 4 (Doom 3). Textures look a bit outdated and no PBR - but gameplay is like old thief series with improvements and it has anti aliasing, soft shadows and screen space ambient occlusion.

@Demolishun wtf? What are those mods? The biggest ones are usually HD textures but those are only a couple of GB.

@Lensflare The official high def textures for Fallout 4 are 58GB.
Modded Skyrim and Vanilla Skyrim are night and day. The difference between ultra realistic looking and blah. A typical modpack is around 200GB. I have a program that stages mods after download and assembles these giant modpacks for me.
I remembered an old game I played when I was a kid. There were no reliable downloads, so I spun up a brand new Win 11 VM to play it in, in case the .iso was some sort of disguised coin miner or something.
Anyways, it ended up working and being the real game (yay!) but the moral of the story is the VM + the entire game is about 12 GB, which is 10% the size of a lot of modern AAA titles.
I can have a whole other fucking computer running, dedicated to only this one game, for a tenth of the storage space of modern games.
