It was Bloodborne, something like 6 or 7 years ago. No SIE game since have manage to do that, and I've often found wishing them to end sooner than they actually did, incl. games like H:ZD, UC4, TLoU2, Spider-Man and God of War. UC:TLL was close and it didn't overstay its welcome, but that game just contained too much Drake(s).

What was the last Sony Interactive Entertainment game that completely engrossed you and why?
- Thread starter entremet
- Start date
The last one was probably Ghost of Tsushima. Forbidden West had its moments but its story isn't as strong as Zero Dawn and it does feel a bit more of the same as well. (I was fully engrossed by Zero Dawn back in 2017 for comparison's sake).
Rift Apart and Miles Morales were great but short and sweet. I still swing around town from time to time in Miles Morales though.

Horizon forbidden west npc model and animation quality made me sit through most conversations for even the random est side quest. Normally at some point in these games I'd start powering through the text and skipping.
Uncharted 4. Perfect mix game play and cinematic presentation. Fun and cheerful to play unlike other Sony games which gravitates towards dark depressing tone.
New God of War is good combat wise but fails to create same experience as first God of War's epic scale and environment puzzles.

Ratchet and Clank (PS5) and Last of Us Part 2
Ratchet was so much fun and legit looked next gen. Last of Us kept me captivated for its story.

SIE have never released a game that completely engrossed me. I don't think they've even released a game that I particularly liked.
Until Dawn is the last Sony published game that did anything for me, but that was back when they were Sony Computer Entertainment. Even that was only published by SCE, not developed in house.
There have been some Gran Turismo games I've enjoyed over the years, but nothing I've ever stuck with.
I think Planetside is the only Sony developed property that has ever truly engrossed me, but that was Sony Online Entertainment.
(Honorary mention to Wipeout 2097, though again, not developed internally by Sony)

God of War 2018.
Ghost was fun, but super repetitive. Dropped it after the first island.
Spiderman was also a lot of fun, but by the time I finished it, I didn't even want to hear about it for months.
Oh, and anytime I start up bloodborne again, it always sucks me in.

I was completely obsessed with Returnal for a while. Once I figured the game out and got on a roll with it, it was all I played until I beat it. It's just so fun.
Probably god of war, everything since I thought was just good at best. Hoping Ragnarok lives up to it. I remember feeling that it was to God of war that re4 was to resident evil
Games that just do that without you see it coming are the best.
Sackboy's Adventure. The rest of sony's catalog is too samey for me now & I thought GT7 would've taken that place for me but that turned out to be a disappointment for many reasons.
At first I was going to answer The Last of Us, but nope, but if I'm being honest with myself I enjoyed Heavy Rain a little more and therefor it gets my vote.
I couldnt put Horizon Forbidden West down until I was at the final story mission, only then did I allow myself to take a break and play Elden Ring but I did that for like 20 hours and went back to finish Horizon and work on the platinum
TLOU Part 2 was so good due to its fantastic pacing, graphics and compelling story.
To date that is the best video game I have ever played in my entire life. Currently the best showcase for the medium if I had to pick and chose one for an audience that's knows nothing about gaming.

Gravity Rush 2 was the last one that I loved so much that I didn't put it down until I platinumed it.
I've started TLOU2, HZD and GoW 2018, but haven't finished any of them. They're good ass games, but they haven't sunk their claws into me yet.

I've never seen a world more beautifully and gorgeous than this, such magical feelings to explore it.. also the side quests and their NPCs are so likable they have made excellent and amazing job capturing them.
That really got me? God of War.
I bounced back and forth on Returnal until I finished it. TLOU 2 was such a depressing journey that I had had to pace myself with taking breaks to play other games.
I finished Horizon 2, but Elden Ring interfered with diving deep into that. I'm playing it again just to ensure I get my uninterrupted fill.

Probably Uncharted 4? I enjoyed a lot of their games since but none hit the highs that one did for me personally
Astro's Playroom for me. Every little thing about the game was really well done including the music.
Haven't given Ratchet Rift Apart much of a shot yet and the Spider-Man remastered game just felt like a mindless Ubisoft open world collectathon slog.
Will dive into Returnal on PC when it comes.

To me, it was Death Stranding as well. I've played GoT after that and, while I enjoyed it, it didn't engross me completely. The open-world of GoT annoyed me, whereas I never felt irritated or hasty when playing DS.
With that said, there are many SIE games that I have in my backlog which might top DS, like Horizon FW, Returnal, or Last of Us 2. Whenever I find the time to play them, I'll see if they meet my expectations, as I loved the previous games by the devs of those.
Ghost of Tsushima grabbed me like few other games did. I've enjoyed some of the games published by SIE since then but nothing as much as Ghost.
