Rsm what are you fav games this gen? Btw I must say that I have a Xbox one so I haven’t played god of war and the Sony exclusives, but the games I listed are the games I enjoyed most this gen.
I've played God of War, while an interesting game that does a few things really well. I feel its choices to differ from previous entries is a hindrance in many aspects. Over the sholder for a fast paced slasher was odd, and made combat feel clunky. The markers for attacks around Kratos was added late in development because they knew it wasn't a wise idea overall to have that camera perspective for the game. Also fighting that same troll, doing the same 'puzzles', and climbing being nerfed in the new game, are all negatives.
This is just a personal take, if people love God of War IV or Red Dead Redemption 2, more power to them or yourself. Can't speak personally on RDR2, only what I've read. Played the original and just wasn't my kind of game, I had little reason to sing its praises. Open worlds are a rare enjoyment for me, and story/ character development should not be favored over great gameplay and level design.
Anyhow some of my personal favorite games of recent memory would include Divinity: Original Sin II, Dark Souls III, The Evil Within 2, Dusk, Tearaway, Guilty Gear XRD: Rev 2, Splatoon 2, War for the Overworld, and the recent Resident Evil 2 Remake. Just to name a few. Can't state I think any are better than each other, they do what they do at an insanely high quality. And most importantly, are very fun to play. At least for me, these are also the kind of games I struggle to find faults with based within the respecting genres.
Keeping an eye out on The Outer Worlds and Ion Maiden. With my most wanted game from 2019 Devil May Cry 5.

I agree RE7 to me is just boring it's more scary then 6 obviously but gameplay wise RE7 is shit. As over the top and silly as RE6 is it's a much more fun game. RE2remake is a masterpiece and better then the original for me it's right up there with 4.
Gameplay was many an issue due to perspective, think calling VII gameplay "shit" is unfair and has mechanically much in common with the recent remake. Has gunpowder fusion, 180 spin, strats for bodypart effectiveness. And that one good puzzle 'birthday wishes' was pretty decent. However I do agree it's not all fun in Resident Evil 7. Most its failings is in level design not fitting FP, poor set pieces, and weak overall content that heavily borrows and simplifies sections from previous Resi games.
Resident Evil 6 I will always call a bad game, but a bad game I found some joy in. Mercenary mode was pretty good all considering and I really liked the Spore boss in the church. The dive back mechanic was also really fun. With that it was clearly pretending to be Gears of War more than Resi and I didn't like it for that. The QTEs didn't help either.
