Helldivers 2, Palworld, Space Marine 2, Black Myth Wukong (but still not sure how much of that is chingchong astroturfing) were highs.
This list I'm sure isn't complete but has lots of good stuff in all genres.
Strangely, not much of it was chingchong astroturfing. It's a genuinely good game and the hype is justified. I'm deathly allergic to Chinesium and I haven't found any there.
Hitting the highest record on Steam player counts says otherwise. Both things can be true that it is a good game and the Chinese still did Chinaman things to it.
In this case, Chinaman things = existing and liking a video game?
Chinaman things is an absurd number of people bought something specifically because China Numbah Won and thereby the numbers are meaningless in relation to the quality. Especially with people using said numbers as indicative of it being both GOTY and "defeating the woke."
The Chinese are very nationalistic to a petty level. They will buy or attack things simply for appealing or not to them. Saying they even liked it despite buying it is equally likely to be false because they have such a history of behavior.
