God of War (the last two are great)
Ghosts of Tsushima
Last of us (skip 2)
I’d say GTAV but I’d wait until the new one comes out.
Horizon zero Dawn
Hogwarts if you like Harry Potter.

Cyberpunk 2077 plus Phantom Liberty DLC is a must. I was out of gaming for a similar time and having that be one of my first games back was a mindblowing experience.

Last of Us 1&2

PS5 Pro is probably coming out this fall so you should probably wait.

All 3 Spiderman games and both of the new God of War games are great on the PS5 (either released on or upgraded for the PS5). Spiderman 1 and 3 are 20-30 hours to beat; the middle one is less than 20 and a glorified DLC.. And that's going for most of the side stuff. Each God of War game is 30-40 hours to do most stuff.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a GOAT. Start with the first one if you've never played it. RDR1 is short compared to 2 but that would be a long back to back playthrough (30 hours for the first one, 60-100 for the second). I would suggest doing a quickplay of the first due to it's age and spend more time in RDR2. RDR1 is a bit old but a good game. RDR2 plays like a PS5 game. You can even throw in GTA5 on PS5 for a beautiful looking remastered game.

Witcher 3 is another GOAT. Best DLCs of any game maybe ever. DLCs are as long as many games and as good or better than the main story. Graphics and gameplay aren't cutting edge any more but hold up very well. You're looking at probably over 100 hours to play through story/DLC and could touch 150-200 if you are going for full completion.

Ghost of Tsushima is one of my favorite games. Graphics, story and gameplay are all still top notch despite being an older game. This game is everything Assassin's Creed: Feudal Japan should have been. 30-60 hours depending on how much you want to do. I would spend the time in this game to do all of the main quests/sides.

There are so many other great games. The Batman trilogy is awesome. Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West are unique. The Yakuza series is also different and a lot of fun...very serious story with incredibly wacky and fun side content. NCAA25 will take most of my time starting next week for the foreseeable future.

So much downloading for all these games

Nothing worse than waiting a week or two between firing up the ps5 only to have an hour download awaiting you and then once it’s finished you’re ready for bed or have moved on to something else and then you don’t play it

Bioshock. I still think it's the best game I've ever played.

Bioshock Infinite is great also, but it's hard to top the first Bioshock. I played Bioshock 2 also, but it seems like I was sort of in a hurry to finish it, so it isn't anywhere near as memorable as the other two.

Resident evil 2 and 4 remake. And Resident Evil 7.

That is a very odd first post.
