I feel a bit empty now... 
I'll be very surprised if this doesn't end up in a high spot in my best of the year list.

Seeing what happens with Relooted on steam forums is disgusting and people seem to complain more about resetera complaining about it rather than taking issue with the steam forumsGood stuff by The Guardian. Valve should be hammered down about this.
‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront
Multiple game creators describe ineffective moderation on the platform, resulting in unchecked hatred in forums and targeted campaigns of negative ‘anti-woke’ reviewswww.theguardian.com
I finished the campaign for Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred expansion last night and now trying to determine what game I should complete next:
Fallout 76
Star Wars The Old Republic (finally get a character up to max level and complete a storyline)
Tree of Savior
Black Desert Online
New World
Infinity Nikki
I would play through Path of Exile/Path of Exile 2/Diablo 2 Resurrected, but I want to take a month or two break from those types of games atm.

Been playing Romeo is a Dead Man and yeah, this game is legit.
Janky as fuck and equally as visually striking.
Who needs AAA when good shit like this exists?

Steam was at 31.1 million average monthly active users in the past 6 months in the European Union alone. This is up from 29.9 million in the last period.
Does anyone here use Backloggd as a discovery site? I love browsing through random lists because they always contain games that are forgotten by many.
For example, I found this list "pre-2010 games featuring fake internet" when I was looking at .hack entries. Apart from games like SMT or Silver Case, it also has relatively famous games like lain, Kowloon's Gate and I/O. Also saw Kita he, another Japanese cult classic, and I never knew that it has anything to do with fake Internet. And then there's Sakura Momoko no Ukiuki Carnival, in which Miyamoto was involved in its development, but somehow I had never heard of it before.
On the downside, it uses IGDB database which isn't perfect. For instance, many VN publishers don't have all their games listed in there. But I can use VNDB on those instead.

Most of the games you listed seem like large scale multiplayer/MMO/endless live service games so I'm not sure how exactly you'd classify 'completing' them.
That said, from this list I'd say give New World a go. The game is going to shut down it's servers in January next year and then it'll be lost forever. The game is probably already dead when it comes to player population but you can probably still go around the world completing the quests. I can't remember if the main quest required dungeons but it most likely did and you might have a lot of trouble finding groups for those.
I played the game at launch and it was quite an experience... the game looked amazing, especially by MMO standards, and had a lot of interesting ideas going for it. Unfortunately, the early days of the game were extremely tumultuous because of many rudimentary technical mistakes on the part of the developers and also their lack of foresight on how human nature works. The way the game community evolved was fascinating to witness... sort of like watching a Lord of the Flies society forming without any external guidance and norms to follow. I played the game for something like 650 hours and many of the problems weren't solved by the time I left the game to play Lost Ark. You'll miss out on all of that now but I still think it's a game worth checking out simply because it has an expiry date. The game world is really well made and if nothing else you can get to experience that for a bit.

Sort of bored this morning so I was looking at the top selling games for January and doing some (probably mostly incorrect) analysis.
One thing that stands out is that quite a few DLCs made the list this time. Maybe this is a trend that has been happening for a while but I just noticed it. Maybe it was because there weren't that many big hitters that released in January. I was glad to see that Pathologic 3 made the gold tier of the list though.
It's also mildly interesting that Highguard made it to the list, even if it is in the bottom tier. Not too bad for a game that released on 26th January so it only had 5 days worth of sales accounted for. Honestly, though, those 5 days probably represent the majority of money the game made on PC anyway. Now, there's also a game for uh... cultured people... that released on the 29th of the month and the developer was so thrilled with how well it did that he shared his sales numbers. It's a $15 game (with Valve recommended regional pricing) that sold 10,000 copies in the first 48 hours. That game is also in the bronze tier of top sellers. There's isn't even remotely enough data to make any correlation between how much money both games earned but... that other game made $150,000 (less with regional pricing) and it landed up in the same revenue tier as Highguard. So...
