I would have said Returnal, which is just brilliant and my personal GotY for 2021, but a lot of people are waxing lyrical about it so I'm going pick something different for this thread.
Seeing rawshark's post further up the page mentioning Astro's Playroom had me nodding with approval. It really was a superb, warm-hearted, clever and unexpectedly delightful nostalgia trip through PlayStation history. A wonderful introduction to the PS5 console and its new features, in particular the fancy capabilities of the new haptic-enabled Dualsense controller. I found myself visiting that history of PlayStation room, akin to a comprehensive museum of the brand, quite a bit and lost count of the number of times I got Astro to jump on the PS1 console power switch to hear that iconic and utterly magical PS1 startup sound.
Honorable mentions to The Last of Us Part II which really affected me at times and had me thinking about many aspects of it long after I'd completed it. Control which was weird and bizarre, in a good way, and which had some excellent destructive and chaotic combat. Finally the game I'm currently playing, Jedi: Fallen Order, which is hands down the best Star Wars game I've played since KotOR 1&2!
