What Are Some Games That Truly Felt "Next-Gen" When You Played Them?

When I was first saw the 9 minute red band trailer for MGSVTPP I knew I had to play it and playing it really felt like playing the next generation of games. The gameplay mechanics and attention to details all felt like it came from the mind of someone who was making games for the future

Nowadays games are only next gen in terms of the graphics and the console system that could run it.

I played the latest Indiana Jones and it's a great game but it really felt like something that could have come out during Dishonored 1 or Metro exodus era. Are we that far gone that older video game trope when polished amazes us in this current gen, maybe it's just me but I am am very much unable to find something different and innovative in AAA titles but I see innovation and risky in indie titles, to see the limits and creativity of what gaming could be instead of eating the same stale bread with a different condiment. What games that you have played that really made you feel like, "Holy shit is this the future of gaming?"
