God of War (2018) has some of my favorite, and arguably the best-feeling, combat in any video game I have ever played. I'm not sure if it particularly innovates or does anything new but it is so incredibly satisfying and fluid. Pair that with an incredibly well-made game with a solid story and a fun world to travel around, and the final product is one of my favorite games of all time. As a whole, the game may not be the most innovative but it executes on everything it attempts perfectly and delivers an incredibly polished package. My only complaint is that back-tracking for collectibles is a bit of a pain, but balancing that with all the other fun optional side content (like the incredible side bosses) meant that I never got burned out. This is truly one of my favorite games with one of my favorite Plats.
