I was seriously considering getting a PS5 until I saw the costs of the games + hardware.
Compared to my previous take this one is ice cold, but Elden Ring and Tears of the Kingdom.
but TotK is just GMod with Zelda models and poorly written furry fanfic. Some great elements there, but nothing special, and I’d say it fits in your ‘above average open world games’
So hot that it feels like I’m playing a totally different game than reviewers
