Dead by Daylight.
Objectively pay-to-win garbage that survives purely off novelty, but god damn if it isn't fun at the highest level of play. Once you've paid for all the content, there are very few games that allow that level of variety and character customization.
I'd argue the exact opposite. It's a fun game to play with new players or in a private lobby with a bunch of friends, but at the highest levels it's absolutely horrible. You don't really get more options to make the game more fun as you progress, instead the most effective options are to actively ruin the experience for the other side.
There was an item in the game that survivors could use to instantly complete an objective. If all four brought one it instantly completed 4 of 5 objectives. It was eventually nerfed shortly before I stopped playing, but it's a perfect example of the kind of game-ruining mechanics the game is for some reason built around. You don't level up to have more fun, you level up to screw over the other person.
