A solid 7/10 from me. I think it's the least impressive PlayStation home console, but it's still, ultimately, a PlayStation home console. And that means it gets a wide range of A, AA, and AAA games. The first-party output is the worst it's been in a long time, in part because of the infrequency of releases and in part because Sony focuses on the wrong things, but there are plenty of third-party games, both exclusive and multi-platform, to fill in the gaps.
On the performance side of things, I adore the short load times. Those have really spoiled me.
In terms of controllers, it's a mixed bag for me. While I love the tech inside the DualSense, I still cannot get onboard with the stick placement. In fact, this is the first generation where I gave up and purchased a third-party controller with asymmetrical sticks.
