Level scaling can legitimately be good if done right.

Bad level scaling
>level 1 skeleton becomes level 10 skeleton warrior/mage/archer with unique abilities and traits based on which variant it is
Good level scaling
If you want an example, check out Elona. That game does level scaling incredibly well. It always makes sure that you feel like you're getting stronger and that there's legitimate purpose behind leveling up despite constantly scaling things to you in multiple ways.

yeah these are my thoughts as well. i feel like roguelikes always do a good job of it, mostly because they kinda have to. i really like roguelikes that evolve into somewhat of a puzzle game where there's so many things to consider each turn, instead of it just being enemies get spongier and do more damage

There is nothing fundamentally wrong with level scaling. Plenty of good games used level scaling in a way in which 95% of players never even knew it was there like Baldur's Gate or Morrowind. Its only issue when its blatantly obvious like in Oblivion, Wizardry 8 or FF8

Can you give an example you might be thinking of because to me that's not really level scaling, those are new enemies. What sucks about "bad" level scaling is fighting the same enemy and it's just as hard regardless of your characters growth shits on any sense of progression. Where as new enemies and enemy types are just new challenges.

Thats how level scaling works in the pretty much every western RPG since the original Ultima game.

Fucking nerd.

Mmmm big feet

God, Oblivion's level scaling is by far the absolute worst
to the point where you are forced to rush the main quest at a low level or every single non essential main story NPC is going to die

What are some games with good level scaling?

Nah, bullshit take all the same. You don't change basic enemy type, that defies the point. You might add a few special "commander" enemies (which also give better loot) that spawn among the plebs to spice things a bit, but the main meat should be unlocking new higher level areas. Or coming up with very good explanations (plot related, not level related) to sudden influxes if stronger enemies.
The absulute best option is, however, making stat leveling have almost no impact in gameplay, making player skill increase the true game changer.

Any SaGa game except Romancing SaGa 1 on the snes

So you just don't want an RPG
Those use ranks, it's a completely different mechanic as ranks are fully independent of your characters' progression
