Below is a compilation of every game IGN scored a 10 out of 10, reaching all the way back to 2008's Metal Gear Solid 4 (and a couple of older favorites because why not).
With the exception of some of the much older titles, you should still be able to find and play all these games on Amazon or through Steam, Xbox, or the PlayStation stores. With backwards compatibility becoming increasingly common, it's possible you could just dust off your original copies and play those, but no promises.

From our Elden Ring review by Mitchell Saltzman: It is no exaggeration to say that Elden Ring is FromSoftware’s largest and most ambitious game yet, and that ambition has more than paid off. Even after 87 hours of blood, sweat, and tears that included some of the most challenging fights I’ve ever fought, and innumerable surprises, there are still bosses that I left on the table, secrets that I’ve yet to uncover, sidequests that I missed out on, tons of weapons, spells, and skills that I’ve never used. And this is all on top of PVP and cooperative play that I’ve barely been able to scratch the surface of. Throughout it all, while the fundamentals of combat haven’t changed much from what we’ve seen before, the enormous variety of viciously designed enemies and the brutal but surmountable bosses have brought its battles to a new level. Even with all the threads I didn’t manage to tug on my first playthrough (of what I’m sure will be several), what I was treated to can easily be held amongst the best open-world games I’ve ever played. Like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild before it, Elden Ring is one that we’ll be looking back on as a game that moved a genre forward.
