Nintendo's first-party titles are usually very polished on release (Pokemon being a notable exception). Other than that, Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3 are two recent major titles that I didn't hear many complaints about, though I'm not sure if the latter counts since it released a couple years ago in Early Access.

Is there anything non-indie that’s released in the last 2-3 years and hasn’t been an absolute shit show on launch?

Pokémon games are developed by Game Freak, so although they’re published by Nintendo & The Pokémon Company I wouldn’t put them in the same category as a Zelda or Mario game.

lol I kept being like, "oh, there was..." and then remembering that it was an indie game.
God of War: Ragnarok was pretty polished at launch. There was also LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga that launched in really good shape, IIRC. Tears of The Kingdom wasn't too bad either. Those are the only AAA games that I can think of from the last couple of years that weren't shitshows.

Well, at least it’s not empty; but that’s a pretty short list…

Elden Ring, Tears of The Kingdom, Baldurs Gate 3 comes to mind.

The release of Baldur’s Gate 3 was when I re-purchased Baldur’s Gate 1 for a play. Owned the physical for windows 98 back in the day and wanted to give it a nostalgia run while I wait for the price to come down on BG3.

Elden Ring PC port was rough but the game itself was great

I definitely seem to have gotten lucky with that. Were the issues performance related or something else?

Yeah, performances were shit, barely playable in the open world with a r7 2700 and a 1080ti
