I feel like if I had to pick a game that exemplifies their modern approach to game design, it's probably Horizon Forbidden West or Ghost of Yotei; open world, focus on cinematic storytelling, graphically intensive, adhering to the notion that games are a serious artistic medium for adults, etc.

Historically, you can see this shift over the course of their time as a console maker; PS1 was perhaps most defined by FF7, PS2 by GTA, PS3 by the likes of Uncharted and The Last of Us, PS4 by Horizon Zero Dawn/Spiderman/God of War 2018.
