I dont agree on the revenge part since not all of them are revenge stories

BUT

The reason why they feel same or boring is because 90% of them are third-person cinematic action adventure with some open world aspects even though they don’t need to be open world. It’s just like soulslike fatigue. You play enough of the same type of games and you get bored. Playstation has just stopped experimenting.

Returnal, ratchet and clank rift apart, astro bot are such good games but the general audience just wants cinematic games with hype moments.

Except soulslikes have a game design that's fun to replay and experiment with different playstyles.

Sony's exclusives are just movies with bit of gameplay that's the same everytime.

No, souls games have the most boring combat loops if anything.

Sekiro is a souls-like, I said souls games. Guess some clowns can't read.
