Graphics could stand to get toned down. It sucks to wait 7 years for a sequel to your favorite game. There was a time where sequels came out while the games were still relevant. We are getting sequels 8 years or more apart for what? Better beard graphics? Beer bottles where the liquid reacts when you bump into it? Who cares!

We are 5 full years into the PS5's lifetime. These are the only games that are exclusive to the console.

It feels very weird to not include games like Ratchet & Clank, Returnal, and a few others just because they were later released on PC. Especially when Death Stranding 2 is here and also released on PC.

Sony’s strategy is for almost every game to eventually be on PC as well so it’s not entirely a case of development slowing (although it has).
