Easily Returnal. The game is one of the most original new IPs in a while. A really special game.

It takes two, Chicory, or Before Your Eyes
If really pressed to pick, probably It Takes Two. Had so much fun playing that with my wife.

I'm not even sure, to be honest. Rachet and Clank, I guess? Chicory is great, but it's kind of too "twee" for me. Now, I haven't finished it, so maybe it gets a little less saccharine later on. Haven't played RE8 or Returnal yet.
1. RE Village
2. It Takes Two
3. DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods (Part 2)
4. Hitman 3
5. Subnautica: Below Zero

runner up would be Monster Hunter. I wasn't that hot on R&C.
I like Returnal, but the save state issue talked about as ad nauseam hurts me when I don't have long blocks to play at this point in my life.
Let me say in general it's been a kinda meh year. There haven't been a ton of great releases geared towards me. I get Covid is the driving force here though.
It's currently NieR Replicant, but I haven't really played any major releases this year aside from it and Ender Lilies (which I haven't had too much time for since I'm busy with other stuff right now), so maybe it'll change later this year. However, I think the only upcoming game I'm interested in that has a real chance of topping NieR for me is SMT V, and it'd really have to knock my socks off to achieve that.
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury and that kinda sucks because one of them is an old game but what a game
strictly 2021 stuff (for western audiences at least), it's ys ix. kaze and the wild masks and ratchet & clank: rift apart were also my jam though.

Yakuza: Like A Dragon (PS5 version).
This year has been softer than baby shit because of COVID delays so I've played so few new games. If it had to be a pure 2021 exclusive probably Rift Apart but even then I thought it was good, not great.
