Again. The Witcher 3.
There's much I have yet to play but with the next gen Patch I can't see it being dethroned. I'm hopeful Baldurs Gate 3 will be good enough to move it out of the top spot but after 20 hours, I'm not so sure it's well adapted to console with the scroll menus even though it's fantastic so far.
Of I were to choose first party, From what I've played Returnal is the best so far. Quite disappointed in Demon souls remake, perhaps that game was over rated to begin with but it's definitely the best looking by far. GTA6 might take the spot if R* evolves their quest design to be less linear and more intertwined like an RPG and they add RPG choice elements among a few other things the series needs changing on but the main characters look uninteresting and the tone is too true to life, I have my doubts. Fingers crossed The Witcher Polaris is released this gen and doesn't become another Cybperpunk situation where you have to own a monster rig or upgrade to 10th gen to play the game thebway it's meant to be played.
