A recent example is Owlcat’s Rouge Trader. Full game on release, season pass is just a bundle of their two big expansion DLCs which offer full story additions and party members. Season passes work when they are lower cost bundles of high quality DLC, they are awful when they are incoherent slapped together offerings of cosmetics, random content, and stuff which should be base game.
I think you’ll enjoy either game really if you end up liking the setting. They are great ways to get introduced as most other options (besides books)focus just on gameplay with setting and story being an afterthought.
