Cuphead

Lavish presentation

A brutally tough boss-rush shooter animated like a 1930s cartoon, where precise dodging, parrying and shooting decide every fight. A swinging big-band jazz score and local co-op round it out.

Furi

Boss fights as highlights

Furi is a pure boss-rush duelist where you mix sword combat, parrying and twin-stick shooting in intense one-on-one fights. Each guardian has a distinct style, backed by bold comic-inspired art and a driving electronic soundtrack.

Devil May Cry 5

Lavish presentation

A blistering stylish-action showcase where three wildly different demon hunters chain combos and weapon swaps to chase the highest style rank. Over-the-top cutscenes, a pumping soundtrack and deep mechanical mastery make it a genre benchmark.

Doom Eternal

Lavish presentation

A blisteringly fast shooter that forces you to keep moving and treat every demon as a resource, carving out ammo, armor and health with the chainsaw, flame belch and glory kills. Paired with a crushing metal soundtrack, its fights play out like a violent dance through hordes of demons.

Ultrakill

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Ultrakill is an extremely fast retro first-person shooter that blends style-ranking from character action games with brutal carnage. You heal by bathing in enemy blood and must fluidly chain weapons, movement and combos.

Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner

Lavish presentation

A blisteringly fast mecha action game where you pilot the Orbital Frame Jehuty, mixing melee, grabs and sub-weapons in spectacular aerial fights. Short and intense, with stylish presentation and memorable boss duels.

Shadow Warrior 3

Action-packed real-time combat

A fast first-person shooter that fuses guns, sword combat and acrobatic traversal with a grappling hook and wall-running into one fluid combat flow. Crude humor and an Asian-inspired demon-filled world give it a distinct personality.

Doom: The Dark Ages

Lavish presentation

A heavy, grounded take on Doom where the Slayer stands his ground with a shield saw, parries and brutal melee weapons in a grim medieval sci-fi world. Rides on a cyber-dragon and battles in a giant mech add spectacle and variety.
