Only Horizon Forbidden West. Streaming the Playstation version with
PS
Plus.

I assume it's pretty much just more HZD which is essentially an
AC/Farcry clone with enough difference/innovation to barely keep me
interested to finish.

More HZD I agree with. Some new weapons and elementals and other combat
options but mostly much the same. New machines too. As for the rest I've
never played any AC and only the first Farcry so I have no idea. Spalls
mentioned Tomb Raider but same thing, I think I have only played the
original TR almost three decades ago. I also read somewhere something
along the lines of "Zelda is just way better" but again, no idea. The
exploration feels more Fallout this time in that there's stuff to find
on the map. Too much climbing and jumping puzzles for my taste but
that's mostly side missions.

I looked a bit into that previously, and found info that they claim
they're using the highest listed version, so it should be the PS5
version.

Ah, good to know. I spotted some talk about the DLC likely being too
heavy for a PS4 so PS5 only and so I thought it might mean I'm playing
the PS4 version. Now looks like I'll be playing the DLC on the PC if at
all.

I'm still not sure how much of my difficulties with Bloodborne and God
of War (2022) were from any input lag, vs. my old reflexes.  They have
some sort of predictive input, but I'm not sure how good that is, nor
if that means I'm really playing, or their logarithm is playing the
game for me, or maybe it's just failing on those games.

Hmm, if they have prediction for streaming play, maybe it's there for
local play too? I think with analog inputs you can predict (or guess)
the intended input at least a little. Must've been a lot easier to
handle controls with an 8-direction digital joystick and a few digital
buttons.
