Games whose reputations have improved over the years

Fate/Grand Order, since the later story chapters have gotten much better than the earlier ones, and that the pool of Servants (including lower rarity ones) are largely usable compared to something like, say, FEH.

Also, base game The Sims 4. The barrage of expansions and stuff kits etc. is still very greedy, but at least some of the new features trickled down to the base game too.
