Exactly my thinking for Horizon. These studios are pumping so much money into mechanics and graphics, I wish they would put similar resources into story and lore.
I wanted to bring up Horizon but I thought people would quibble over post apocalyptic vs fantasy. But really, if you’re going to quibble about that then you’re already blind to how beholden you are to fantasy tropes and are rejecting things that are genuinely new and different because they are different “wrong.”

Fantasy world that turns out to be post-Apocalypse Earth is a pretty old trope.
I was very pleased with the world-building and lore in Horizon: ZD! The cultures and different factions felt genuinely unique and novel.
