The last of us 2. I finished that a month ago on ps5. I started on ps4 and stopped early in Seattle to wait for ps5 upgrades, which delivered 100%.
The last of us 2 is the complete experience for me. Very satisfying gameplay, always varied, with one amazing set piece after the other. The world never gets repetitive, every location feels unique. I love the 'twist' mid way, very well done. I love how it plays with your feelings towards the characters and the sense of dread knowing what it will eventually has to lead to.
The open world area is perfection. Not too big, no repetition at all, feels just right. The linear areas all have many paths through them and can feel as big and free as an open world. It's a pretty long game as well, looks incredible from start to finish with top notch animation and dialog. Great pacing, great thought provoking story, so many emotions, a masterpiece imo.
The attention to detail and environmental story telling is second to none.
