I downloaded Arkham Knight (included with PS5) the other and night and holy crap, what a fun game. I haven't played any of the prior Batman games but now I'm questioning that.

I still haven't played the first one, it's always been too expensive for what it is. Lowest recorded price $42... nope.

Steel Rising looks alright but also looks like it will be on Game Pass or PS Extra in 6-9 months
Given the price of games now if they don't receive near unanimous positive ratings it's usually best to just wait until they hit Game Pass. I have played a quite a few games on Game Pass that I enjoyed but was glad I didn't pay $60-80 on. This game does look interesting but given it's hovering around the low 70's on metacritic sounds pretty average. I will say that the user scores are very high (over 9) on all platforms so maybe this is one the critics got wrong like Days Gone.
I hate saying this, as I dislike the model of automatically charging $80 for a new game no matter how small it may be so I appreciate Ubi not doing that here, but I just noticed Assassin's Creed Mirage will only cost $50 and its got me thinking it won't be the size of a proper new release now, which is limiting my hype a bit. I hear it originally was only going to be a Valhalla DLC, so I suppose that makes sense.
Either way, it doesn't sound like it'll be a proper full AC title in the way we're used to.
Maybe I've just gotten old, but I went from lapping up every Zelda game with crazed, line-up-at-Zellers-at-2AM-enthuiasm to being profoundly disappointed with BOTW. But I think the beginning of my declining interest began with Skyward Sword (at least I finished that one). And yet I recall the near universal praise for BOTW, so I came to think it was just me.
I hope Tears of the Kingdom pulls me back in.
The last two 2D games--A Link Between Worlds and Link's Awakening--were both solid 9-10/10s for me.
as for my fight to get a PS5, I hope my wait is coming to an end. There was a drop at Amazon Germany today, and even though I was ready (thanks to an alert app), I couldn't get one. But Amazon UK had a drop a bit later and I was able to snatch one ... and even with import fees, that one is actually a bit cheaper than the one from Germany. So if all goes well with the import stuff (and I've done this a few times before, there should be no issues), I should finally have one next week or so. Fingers crossed.
