The following are the ten best new IPs from the PS4/Xbox One/Wii U+Switch generation.

Feel free to disagree, but just know that if you do, you're wrong.

Honorable mentions to Super Mario Maker, Days Gone and Death Stranding. And we will soon see if/where Cyberpunk and Ghost of Tsushima fit into this list.

10. Ori

Cuphead>Ori

Correct.

And Cuphead doesn't suffer from abysmal performance issues. I almost felt the urge to leave Ori off the list as they game literally froze mid-combat and during platforming throughout my entire playthrough on an original Xbox One. But, I guess that shows how good Ori 2 is, that I can somewhat overlook those issues

I wanted to live Astral Chain, but it just didn't fully click with me. I did beat it though.

I never played Gris or Dameon X Machina. Agree with everything else - Bloodstained was really good.
 
Detroid Become Human
Sekiro
Inside
Evil within
Nioh
Hellblade
Horizon
Titanfall
Spiderman
Bloodborne

...
and so many more.

For me both Sekiro and Astral Chain was GOTY for 2019, once the combat system clicked with me I absolutely fell in love with Astral Chain
 
1/2. Quantum Break/ Horizon Zero Dawn
3. Ori
4. Prey 2017
5. Hellblade
6. Alien Isolation
7. Subnautica
8. The Outer Worlds
9. Gears Tactics (haven't played it but it looks great)
10 Ghost of Tushima (haven't played it but it looks great)
 
Owlboy
Horizon Zero Dawn
Until Dawn
Sunset Overdrive
Furi

I can't even make a full top 10 list, like I've played other new IPs but they don't feel like they deserve to be mentioned as some of the best games of a generation.

The list is pretty dark souls copy-heavy.
Out of those the only one i consider top 10 material is bloodborne, and maybe it is top 1 material.

I would replace rocket league with overwatch even tho i don't like any of them.
 
That's a really solid list Vawn Vawn

I'd have Ori a little higher but hard to argue with the rest. Bloodborne, Rocket League, and Astrobot are all outstanding in their genre/communities

You're probably joking, but I thought The Order was pretty good. I think a sequel would have nailed it, but sadly that will likely never happen.
I'm definitely not joking! I think it's one of the best IPs of this gen because of the fascinating world Ready at Dawn created for the game. Lots of potential for a sequel, more than other Sony titles such as Bloodborne or even Horizon.
