I was seriously considering getting a PS5 until I saw the costs of the games + hardware.

Compared to my previous take this one is ice cold, but Elden Ring and Tears of the Kingdom.
but TotK is just GMod with Zelda models and poorly written furry fanfic. Some great elements there, but nothing special, and I'd say it fits in your 'above average open world games'
Hot take
So hot that it feels like I'm playing a totally different game than reviewers
Zelda is definitely a pretty mid tier open world game, both botw and tolk but it gets a pass cause it's Zelda. And it's pretty fun as well in terms of abilities and combat
I love spending half of combat searching through menus...
... it is, to date, the best reviewed game of the year
It deserves a good review, but I'd say it's nowhere near the best game.
Hence, "hot take."
I don't see how. Is it the best game you've ever played?
You're characterizing what is likely to be the best reviewed game of the year as "nothing special" and you "don't see how" that's a hot take? Really?
Not just the year, it is in the top 50 of all time. Beating games like Portal 2, TP, MM, Skyrim, TW3. Also, what has come out this year that hasn't flopped, been a remaster/release, or isn't FFXVI?
What exactly do you think "hot take" means?
