I am quite surprised of all the new names mentioned here. It seems we moved away from being grumpy old men bitching about decline (and cry about every new game ever according to some dude on Bioware forum if I remember) and started to appreciate new things as well. 
A very important aspect can also be seen here: there is a "great" game once every couple of years and this is amazing given the state of RPGs in recent history.

I'm not surprised. I've been keeping my eye on this forum and I have seen it descent into popamole.

Welcome to the Codex, where people (for whatever reason) are unable to read the topic/OP and post random shit instead.
The answer is probably none. No game in recent times comes close to the greatness of the top 1-3(5) cRPGs from times of old.
Did some of 'em come close, although being quite flawed? Yeah sure.
The newest being: Underrail (yeah I know it's EA, but it plays like a complete game already)
And some recently released cRPGs, like:
Wasteland 2 (It has/had a lot of problems, but it gave it a fair shot)
Pillars of Eternity (Again, a good effort, but the end result is still lacking in departments of story and encounter design/combat e.g.)
Shadowrun: Dragonfall (Also a fairly decent cRPG, despite also having numerous flaws or just missing stuff)
We had Fallout:New Vegas which was decent, albeit not being top-down turnbased
We had NWN: Mask of the betrayer
We had the KOTOR games
We had Vampire: Bloodlines

Alright alright.
Could be Witcher, could be just ASOIAF, I don't know. But it feels like all the mainstream RPGs are definately moving into a direction where things have to be "mature" in some way. Are they really mature, probably not, but that's what they try to come off as.
