Does it feel like the PS5's library is *severely* lacking compared to the PS4's around the same time in its lifecycle?

I think this is emblematic of the game development atmosphere as a whole. The PS5 ‘must-plays’ are mostly rereleases and multiplats. I’m hoping Sony studios have a lot of good things cooking behind the scenes, they’re just taking their time.

Factoring in PS4 backwards compatibility, no not really… I got an external HDD this year and with all the PS4 games I bought but never got around to, my backlog is huge. I’m set for years without buying another game (though I still keep buying them).

whether you factor backwards compatibility or not is irrelevant. Those are still ps4 games. There are comparatively quite few ps5 games

At this point in the PS4 life cycle, I didn’t have access to as many games as I do at this point for the PS5 so I don’t think it is irrelevant. Platform exclusives at this point seem a bit silly anyway.
