[PS5] Just finished Astro Bot, about to finish Persona 3 Reload. What next?

Here's my gaming backlog of the last 2 years

- Elden Ring

- Dark Souls Trilogy

- Bloodborne

- Hollow Knight

- Dead Cells

- Ghost of Tsushima

- Xenoblade Chronicles 3

- Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

- Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance

- No Mans Sky

- NieR Automata

- Hades

- Assassins Creed Mirage

- Ratched and Clank - Rift Apart

- Baldurs Gate 3 (didnt like)

As you can see I do have some tendencies, like Souls, Roguelikes, jrpgs but I'm also very open for some "wildcards". Next games I was considering playing are Horizon Zero Dawn, Metaphor Re:Fantazio, The last of Us Part I, Death Stranding and God of War. Which game would you choose if you were in my place and why?

I should also note I have the german equivalent to the US bar exam in a couple of months, so I have very limited time for gaming. Maybe 2-3 hours in the evening.

Maybe u can go for a big open world/rpg and a shorter linear game. All the games u mentioned are great so u can't go wrong with any of them. Tho Horizon is a very cookie-cutter open-world, and Death Stranding is pretty...different (I love both).

I don't know if u've played Sekiro or not. And if u like it Sifu is a great game. Both shorter games. And if u aren't opposed to shooters, Titanfall 2 has the best 8 hrs campaign.

Wait a bit before Metaphor. Even though it's my favourite Atlus game, you might get burned out. By your circumstances, I'd say Death Stranding. It's very relaxing but it's not for everyone. If not that, God of War. Maybe check out RDR2?

Persona 5 Royal, Metaphor, Mass Effect, Disco Elysium if you like gritty story-driven games, Stellaris if you like 4x strategy.

Fresh start on Astro Bot with a second save game? That's what it was for me.
