Not sure how you can say this with a straight face when we have so many multiplats available to make direct comparisons with..
Those are not toe-to-toe comparisons though.

What i meant by "Next Gen" a AAA game developed around PS5 as lowest common denominator to get the most out of the hardware and influence design/scope
Those PS4 games you mentioned do indeed look good, hell GoT on PC looks marvelous but it is still a PS4 game at its core.
Returnal is a glimpse into next gen, since its a smaller indie type game with lower budget
SM2 is another glimpse into next gen with that combination of fps, RT and asset streaming on the fly but its not a massive departure from its previous PS4 entries let alone the PS5 ports SM1 & MM

Nintendo is great at using more stylized art direction to make good looking games on limited hardware. It's why games like Wind Waker still look great now, while many other games of that time that aimed for more realistic visuals look dated.
But even taking that into account you can still easily see you are on a console that's like 2 gens behind when you go from playing something on Ps5 to playing on the Switch, specially if in docked mode.
Even in the best case scenario of a game like Luigi's Mansion 3 ,which is still one of the best looking games on the system and tailor made for the hardware ... it's still quite a downgrade compared to something like Rift apart not just in terms of graphics but also scope, image quality and performance.

The Dualsense haptic feeback and trigger resistance is the quietly the most next gen feature in that regard then, because thats the biggest differentiator from how last gen and next gen games feel. Playing games without advanced vibrations feel like a last gen experience, but you dont need to rebuild a game from the ground up to implement it. Some developers have been able to update their games to include it through patches. So its not really clear what "next gen" is, but if its games having their design and scope influced by hardware, then you have to say the Dualsense controller is the only next gen hardware devs are actually using.
I went back and played a little bit of Astro bot on PS5, and I immediately could tell I was playing a game designed specifically for next gen hardware. The haptic feeback just from rotating the controller felt like how I would imagine something to feek in real life. Its crazy going back and seeing how under-rated that game is now in this context.
