I've played Spider-Man: MM, Valhalla, and GoT, (and technically Demon's Souls). Picked Ghost of Tsushima

Spider-Man: Miles Morales is DLC repurposed into a standalone game. If you played the PS4 Spider-Man, this game reuses the same locations down to the gang hideouts. Sure, you get new venom powers, but even the bosses are recycled. There's only two new villains iirc (been a while since I beat it). If you're itching for more Spider-Man it will certainly scratch that itch, but if you've played the first game it's worth waiting for a steep sale.

If you like the direction Assassin's Creed has headed with Origins and Odyssey, you'll probably like Valhalla. But it's the weakest of those 3 entries imho. I don't like how they tweaked the combat, and the characters are less memorable. Still worth playing if you're into those games.

Bluepoint did fantastic work with the Shadow of the Colossus remake. I've heard good things about their Demon's Souls remake, but I've also heard some gripes mostly from Souls purists who wanted a more faithful remake. Personally I wouldn't be bothered by tweaks to the remake as long as they serve to enhance or update the experience, but I haven't played it so can't speak to the changes. Did play Demon's Souls on PS3 though and it's awesome.

Haven't played Hitman 3 but I hear good things about it. I did enjoy Hitman 2 so it's probably good?

As for Ghost of Tsushima... I want to be careful not to overhype it while explaining why I chose it. The game is not groundbreaking. It doesn't reinvent the wheel. It treads very familiar territory if you've played any of the dozens of open-world action adventure titles from the past decade. That said, while its not necessarily a "new" experience, what Sucker Punch has created is done very well. The world is one of the more visually stunning worlds I've played in. The characters and overall plot are good. Side missions are about as good as they get and serve a purpose where they provide you with gear that can fundamentally alter the overall gameplay and how you choose to play the game. The music is great. The combat is fun and has an element of skill to it. You can power through most encounters with button mashing but if you take your time master the parry system you can become a fucking badass merchant of death. I loved the game. I can see how someone might not have as great a time with it as I have due the preamble about it being kinda well-worn territory, but man did I have fun with that game. I haven't played much of the Legends mode but what I have played was fun.
