What's the last game you played and you thought 'this is truly fantastic'

Hades. That game is a joy. I'm beyond 20 heat for nearly all the weapons and still do runs just for fun.
I also felt that way about how control LOOKS. I didn't really care for how it played, but that game at 1440p, 60fps with rtx on high...absolutely stunning.

I've played Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3, and now Sekiro in the last month and a half, so it's been nonstop fantastic, with a few caveats.
Sekiro is still my favorite From game, though, and it's been a joy to re-adapt to its speed and fluidity after so much Souls.

Prior to 10 hours in, I didn't even want to play it anymore but somewhere after the 10 hour mark Cyberpunk just clicked and I simply cant put it down (50 hours in), already planning a second playthrough when I have a better graphics card and its been patched a bit.
Probably Red Dead 2. Richest open world game in recent memory. Like I've had a number of great experiences since then - Sekiro, most notably, but that's good in the way all recent FROM games are good - but nothing has been quite as satisfying. Shit's downright painterly.
Sekiro. I've been revisiting the game this past week. Getting closer to mastery of combat is so satisfying.
This for me. Even if I wasn't already a fan of the series I'd think the same.
Metroid: Zero Mission. Just beat it for the first time on my modded GBA. The controls are fantastic, it looks great on my backlit LCD screen, and it was really fun hunting down all the collectibles. Only disappointment was that the boss fights were all way too easy.
13 Sentinels most recently. But BotW gets honorable mention as I'm still living off of that high even if I haven't touched it in years.
Final Fantasy VII Remake and Mario Odyssey are the last two off the top of my head that made me think 'what a great time I'm having with this'. Astro's Playroom just about gets in there as well for some of the awesome design it has and its utilisation of Dualsense as a perfect appetiser for a shiny new console.
Big same.
I'm very critical of it in some regards but overall It's the game I've put the most time into in years.
Previously it was probably Tales of Berseria or Dragon Quest Builders 2.
The peeps that said 13 Sentinels and Donkey Kong Country 2... nice!
So many people saying Hades, gotta give it a shot.
For me it's been Pokemon Ultra Sun. Missed it back in the day, almost done with it now. It has some minor issues, but it's crafted with such love and care that I can't help but enjoy the hell out of it.

Nioh 2. Unlocked Dream of the Demon (or NG++, where each NG level represents a difficulty increase) and did a gauntlet style side-mission. I was panting when I finally defeated the last enemy and had to go outside to catch some fresh air. What a rush!
And on the chill, peaceful side of things there's Civilization 6. Transforming the world into a paradise and winning a culture victory with a clean emission sheet never gets old. Who needs coal when you can plant trees?

This. Never played the original. Fuck me, the remake is awesome.
I went back and played Cuphead again late last year, and yeah, just terrific.
Ori and the Will of the Wisps is definitely the most recent game.

A bunch, recently.
Cyberpunk 2077, Control Ultimate Edition, Disco Elysium and I'm now I'm replaying Half-Life: Alyx which was my GOTY 2020.
Every one of them made me take step back and just think about how good they were.
Feels like a gaming golden age.
