Generation 9 (aka current gen) Ranked
Much like a lot of folks, Gen 9 started a bit late for me-- since I'm a damn fool I missed my chance to pre-order in 2020, and current-gen hardware was real hard to come by for years afterward.
I bought a PS5 in summer 2023, when they were finally available on store shelves. I still don't have an Xbox Series X|S or a current-gen PC, so this list is going to be pretty Sony-centric for now. It will also include a few PS4-era games that I'm just now getting around to.

The main series of episodes was a tad lackluster but the stand-alone bonus episode "Archangel" is fantastic, and could have been an entire series of its own.
Platinum'd in October 2023 and I'm still playing it. GOTY 2023 by a country mile and, if the DLC pans out, it could be a solid game-of-the-generation contender.
Surprisingly excellent. "Better or worse than Astro's Playroom" will be an oddly useful benchmark this gen.
OK, this is a PS4 game but I played it on a PS5, and I'll probably still be thinking about it when there is a PS9.
Completely incredible.
