The PS4 has become my favorite system of all time.

It's disputable.  In fact in the PS1 and PS2 days a huge chunk of the library was exclusive.  Most of the PS4 library is not exclusive, not even close.

On top of that the PS4 library is severely lacking in originality.  I am trying to think of a significant (i.e., good and non-indie) game on the PS4 that is not a sequel.  The closest I can come up with is Bloodborne and Sekiro, which are both different takes on Dark Souls.  I suppose Ghosts of Tsushima will actually be original, but who knows?  It might skip the PS4 and go straight to the PS5.  Then the PS4 will be totally lacking in originality.

PS1 and PS2 had tons of original games, and PS3 had a decent share too.  When I look at PS4, I don't see a golden age.  I see a dark age.

Seems like you need to play more PS4.

Days Gone, Horizon, Death Stranding, Concrete Genie, Dreams, Astrobot, Until Dawn, Nioh, The Last Guardian, The Order, Knack, Driveclub, Spider-Man, plenty of new IPs released this gen.

I'll give you Horizon Zero Dawn, because I forgot about that.  And you can count Until Dawn too.  Can't count most of the others.

Death Stranding is not out yet.  Those other games are either not particularly great or are sequels.  The Last Guardian and Spider-Man are sequels.  Nioh is a Dark Souls clone.  Perhaps the main "original" games this generation are the ones that copy Dark Souls.

Boy, it's really hard to think of good original PS4 games, isn't it?
