What games have what you'd call really good worldbuilding, and what in particular do you like about them?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worldbuilding

Worldbuilding is the process of constructing an imaginary world or setting, sometimes associated with a fictional universe. Developing the world with coherent qualities such as a history, geography, culture and ecology is a key task for many science fiction or fantasy writers. Worldbuilding often involves the creation of geography, a backstory, flora, fauna, inhabitants, technology, and often if writing speculative fiction, different peoples. This may include social customs as well as invented languages (often called conlangs) for the world.

Definitely Kenshi. Rather old title where the world feels somewhat desolated, but so well thought out at the same time. Every place has a story behind it

    Kenshi is maybe the only game I've played where the more I played, the more I was like "What the fuck shit hole have I been dropped into. What happened here." And that feeling only increased the more of the world I explored.

    "AAHGH WHAT IS THIS LASER BEAM"

    "AAHGH WHAT ARE THESE THINGS"

    "AAHGH WHY ARE THERE CANNIBALS EVERYWHERE"

    "AAHGH THE RAIN HURTS WHY IS THERE PAIN RAIN"
