Recent: Atomic Heart. Most of the game feels inspired by Half life, but with elements pulled from stuff like bioshock and dark souls, and is fun to fight and explore through. Then there are the overground segments which just fucking suck and are best handled by madly dashing between objectives while zapping cameras. So mixed feelings overall.
Current: Cyberpunk 2077. Sister got me it for Christmas and I'd heard it's a good game now, so I took it out for a spin.
It isn't a bad game - the gameplay is generally pretty good, especially hacking in combat, and it has a bunch of interesting side stories - it's just calling it outright good requires asterisks and the politics mostly suck.
After some 40 or 50 hours I modded it for a "vanilla plus" experience, solving some bugs, adding some QoL features, adding cut missions back in, making vehicles drive like they weigh more than 6kg, giving gangs distinct combat identities, you know, basic stuff - it's taken eighty three mods to get there. Like a quarter of them are just modding structures for other mods to use. It is a lot better now though.
Future: best friend got me Final Fantasy Origin: Stranger of Paradise for Christmas, so that'll probably be next. Haven't looked at it in detail yet, but it seems to have gotten decent reviews.
I played this one at launch and to me, it was very surreal, in a good way. The entire game feels like a fever dream. If you haven't, I'd recommend at least reading a synopsis of Final Fantasy 1 just to get the main points of the original story since SoP recontextualizes that narrative to an extent.
