To Resume or Restart, that is the question

Me, moving on to my next game
I was talking with my brother in law the last few days and while he's contemplating what game he wants to play next since hes done with Red Dead Redemption 2 and figuring out a game he wants to play, Im here watching the Playstation 5 reveal and debating what game to play next.
I have The Last of Us 2 coming in the next week, and Ive started a save but not followed through more than i had the other night.  But although Ive hardly started the game, Im wondering what Im going to play next based on the games coming for PS5 since most of them are Sequels.
To start, we have Horizon.  Zero Dawn I have largely played through but never finished.  One of those games that you put down and never pick it back up again, for no real reason.  I did have my problems with it, a lot of amateurish aspects to it which are offputting, but largely a rather good game.  Who doesnt like blowing up giant robot dinosaurs?!
In the same vein, there is God of War.  I have technically finished the game, but I havent started New Game +, where I keep all my gear and fight harder enemies.  Im also one fight from getting a Platinum award, but fighting Sigrun is not an easy venture.
Aiming for Platinum also meaI have to play out Ratchet and Clank.  I LOVE Ratchet and Clank and Im very keen on the next sequel coming so that gives me incentive to try and get that platinum.  That and Ted rubs my nose in it that he beat me to it, so I should get to that.
Theres also Hollow Knight.  I really REALLY enjoyed Hollow Knight, and the idea of playing a Steel Soul run sounds intimidating as fuck, but eith Silksong coming its definitely an option to couple with the Platinum run.
Same with Darkest Dungeon.  I am basically on the final stretch of the game and just need to defeat the actual Darkest Dungeon.  So I should do that and polish it off.  Or should I start a new campaign with the official setting instead of the Easy Mode that I began with?
The alternative us never bother and just play the games I havent even started, like Outer Worlds and Metro.  Hell, even Watch Dogs.
I just know that Im going to have to finish GTA4 before GTA6 is finally announced.  I bought the DLC specifically for the purpose of playing them, and Ive hardly dented the actual campaign.

Edit: Oh and i forgot Deathloop.  A cool crossover of Wolfenstein and Dishonoured. I should finish Dishonoured: Death of the Outsider.
Death waits for the slightest lapse in concentration
