Best PS3 Game

I miss the PS3.

Both the console and its games had such a strong sense of personality; edgy, badass, and powerful.
Things like microtransaction, GaaS, season passes, etc hadn't yet become the plague they are today, games didn't take so long to make so we got more of them, and they weren't so watered down by trying to appeal to the broadest possible audience.

I'm uninformed on the history of PS3, though my understanding was (a.) it lacked third-party support (due to an overly complicated development system(?)), (b.) it was severely criticized early on for its aggressive price-for-entry ($599 in 2006 is rather unhinged), (c.) etc., and it is for these reasons why many considered PS3 the worst of the original four PlayStation systems. My question is whether PS5 is doing better or worse than PS3? In almost all ways, it seems PS3 triumphs. No GaaS, no season passes, less price gouging, more games, etc...though is it possible the rosy-tinted glasses have altered what is reality?

Maybe this is a question for a different forum, but your comment here addresses a topic which always has me thinking...
