I guess, for me it would be;

Elden Ring
GOW Ragnarok
Astrobot / Ratchet & Clank RA

Demons Souls Remake would be up there too.

I have a lot left to catch up on though....

I’m not sure I have a top 3 of original software just yet for this gen.

I want to default to Elden Ring, Cyberpunk and Ragnarok as my top picks so far. But to be honest I’m not digging ER or 2077 as much as I did Bloodborne and Witcher 3 comparatively.

I still consider this gen in its infancy. I also foresee it nearly going a decade tho.

You're correct, neither are better. Cyberpunk misses soul. Elden Ring loses focus.

in this order:
1 - Starfield: 1000 unique planets, best graphics ever in an open world game, judge only by Bethesda standard!
2 - Redfall: true next gen vampire slaying action!
3 - Forza Horizon 5: Like a next gen skin for 4, but without the true next gen 30 fps mode, still solid innovation there!

PS.: Send the check MS!

I think it is an incredibly solid and fun game but it's not going to be for everyone. Just came to mind as a standout because I like creative skillful action games with slo motion stuff and shooting. It could be improved but it was a standout in this otherwise shitty gen for me.

Sifu is legitimately one of my favourite games ever now, incredible game. The best games for me do not come from the AAA space anymore.
