There is only three so far, in order. I have KCD2 installed, just can't get in the mood and KARMA the Dark World just isn't in the discussion, a good game though.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - 10/10 Game of the generation, trying and succeeding at entering my top five knocking out the immaculate Bloodborne for 5th place. An absolute phenomenon when games have become so stale.
A very wide gap - I'm not sure many will have heard of this one. It's the difference between a near flawless game and a game that is amazing but has a small few pretty irritating faults.
The First Berserker Khazan - 9/10. Incredible Soulsbornekiro game that beats Nioh and Nioh 2 for me. Difficult as hell, allows for skill to close the gap but uses some mechanics to make battles of pure attrition but in the best way. It takes that final boss of Sekiro and designs every boss to have that feeling and this easily has the most consistent great boss roster in Souls games, beating From Soft. It fails in level design, some are good but it wavers to many being bad and most are just decent. The Stanima system is backwards, should have separated posture from Stanima at the very least. Continuously updating the game making changes that effect the players current playthrough even though nothing was in any way broken. Pretty good story but lacks context.
Last 10 years for context.
2024 - Stellar Blade
2023 - Diablo 4 (BG3 easily knocks this off, I just need to roll credits)
2022 - Elden Ring
2021 - Tales of Arise
2020 - Ghost of Tsushima
2019 - Sekiro
2018 - Divinity OS2
2017 - Neir Automata
