What games do you consider the most "Above anything else out there" when they released?

oh i forgot to mention, xenogears was mindblowing at the time

 

[RE4-City]

MGS

MGS - As @Dick Jones mentioned

GOW2018

Uncharted 2

Zelda OoT

Gran Turismo 2

Homeworld

Operation Flashpoint

COD MW

Destiny

Note: I came to JRPG's only late last gen.

God of War 2018 is a great one. I played thru that game in the summer of 2020 and it was mind blowing. It just seemed so long and yet every environment felt so rich and detailed. Like every inch of that world received special care. It absolutely deserved GOTY 2018 and is one of the best games of all time

Mass Effect, Bioshock. Gears, Uncharted, Motorstorm, Last Of Us

Imagine if we got a motorstorm remaster this year that had the same graphics as the e3 2005 build
