Games worth playing in particular order:
Bloodborne Could be the best souls if it didn't run like ****e
Deception 4: Nightmare Princess Great update of an already great game. Setting up trap combos hasn't changed and hasn't gotten old
Ace Combat 7 An absolute thrill ride of a game. Controls are perfect and not many games come close to the exhilaration this game brings.
Sekiro fantastic mix of stealth and excellent combat. Topped off with From Softwares incredible game and level design.
Metal Gear Solid V It's too long, the story is unsatisfyingly cut short but the actual gameplay systems are top class
Titanfall 2 A perfectly paced collection of set pieces
Resident Evil 2 Remake Wonderful update of an all time classic.
Dark Souls 3 A bit by the numbers but it's still Dark Souls and even by the numbers dark souls is better than most games this generation
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Pretty much embarasses every other open world games and manages. There is no excuse for dreck like Days Gone when this game exists.
Soma Not perfect, the WAU storyline is a bit cliche, but the existential hard sci fi that this game explores really hit a chord with me and that ending was fantastic.
Shin Megami Tensei 4 One of the very best RPGs I've played in the last few years. A little easy by SMT standards but makes up for it everywhere else.
Shovel Knight Lots of indie games want to ape NES games but Shovel Knight is one of the few that actually manages to feel like a top tier NES game.
Axiom Verge As metroidvanias go, this is top tier
Hollow Knight And so is this one.
Obra Dinn Wondefully unique piece of storytelling that manages to fully use the medium to create something that just could not be done outside of videogames.
Zero Ranger Nails the feel of an old school pre-bullet hell shooter with a dose of Nier Automata style storytelling on top. Criminally ignored
Dusk Does 90's FPS better than probably every 90s FPS
Sayonara Wild Hearts The closest this generation got to Rez or Child of Eden
Umarangi Generation A unique experience about take photos and relaxing to some great tunes.
La Mulana 2 This series is the only game series that actually makes you feel like Indiana Jones uncovering an ancient civilisation
Hatoful Boyfriend It's a game where you romance pigeons. Nuff said.
X-Com 2 More X-Com... I was sold
Half-Life Alyx Pretty much the next step in immersion. Classic Valve gameplay set piece gameplay elevated by VR.
Sub Nautica Takes a survival game and adds a narrative structure which was just what I needed to finally enjoy one of these games.
Forza Horizon 4 In terms of arcade racing nothing in the last generation came close to Horizon. It's in a class of its own.
Super Mario Odyssey Just pure Nintendo magic
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze One of the greatest left to right platformers ever created.
Cuphead Finally a game came along that could stand toe to toe with Contra Hard Corp
Blazing Chrome And then someone came along and made another one
Etrian Odyssey series The series continues to be an absolute delight. It's everything good about dungeon crawling with modern sensibilities and the map making elevates this game to god tier
Probably forgotten loads and loads I've not yet played.0 -

Hollow Knight also.
Found it very weak, just looked good when stacked up against the One which was terrible. A bit too over reliant on standard open world games. VR did however have some very good experiences.

It's a tiny list compared to every other big console, especially if you take out the japanese exclusives and games not worth caring about.0 -

MGSV: TPP The best MGS game by far. A staff management simulator masquerading as an open world stealth action game. Yes, the second half is a mess and the story incoherent but the gameplay is top notch. Also, the story is pretty good if you can be bothered to listen to the audio cassette logs.
Life is Strange (season 1). I was not prepared for how much I would fall in love with the man characters and the world of Arcadia Bay.
Destiny 2. You only get one chance to make a first impression and sadly so many people will never see what an excellent game this has become post launch.
Fallout 4. It's the best Fallout game. Improves on its predecessors in every single way. I will never understand the complaints about it.
Dishonoured 2. The level design is so good that sometimes it's hard to believe. One of the few games where the platinum actually exposes the game's strengths rather than the weaknesses.
The Witcher 3. It's so good it elevated CDPR to R* status and enabled them to release a game that was about a year off from being finished and still sell 13 million copies after refunds! It's a great game despite its combat and one of the few games where I feel not one bit of its length is fluff.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Just endless joy. I have an embarrassing number of hours in this game.
And still so many games in the backlog from last gen waiting to be explored. A truly amazing generation.

I enjoyed it but the whole time I was playing it I was nagged by the fact that they basically remade their original Dead Island games with the benefit of hindsight and new tech and mechanics with the same exploits and bugs in some cases. Like the first thing I tried was the item dupe from dead island and it worked
