Bloodborne

Challenging difficulty

A fast, aggressive Soulslike set in a gothic nightmare city, where you win by staying on the offensive instead of hiding behind a shield, and the story slowly turns into cosmic horror. Interlocking levels, brutal bosses and cryptic lore make it a genre landmark.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

Boss fights as highlights

A lavish hack-and-slash reboot where Gabriel Belmont wields his combat cross through a gothic world of werewolves, vampires and colossal titans. Weighty combo combat, climbing sections and puzzles carry a tragic tale of grief and damnation.

Castlevania: Lament of Innocence

Boss fights as highlights

The first 3D Castlevania tells the origin of the Belmont vampire hunters. As Leon Belmont you whip your way through a gothic castle, fighting monster hordes and big bosses while collecting sub-weapons and elemental powers.

Black Myth: Wukong

Boss fights as highlights

A visually stunning action RPG based on Journey to the West, pitting you as a staff-wielding monkey warrior against a parade of spectacular bosses. Transformations, spells and precise dodging define its demanding combat.

DmC: Devil May Cry

Boss fights as highlights

Ninja Theory's reboot reimagines Dante with fluid style combos built on swappable angel and demon weapons, set in a surreal Limbo city that warps and twists around you. It pairs a punk attitude and satire of media and consumerism with a pounding soundtrack.

Bayonetta

Boss fights as highlights

A supremely stylish character action game where the witch Bayonetta battles hordes of angels using Witch Time, precise dodges and absurdly over-the-top finishers. Deep combo mechanics, colossal bosses and plenty of tongue-in-cheek charm.

Ninja Gaiden

Challenging difficulty

Ninja Gaiden is a blisteringly fast, punishing action game where Ryu Hayabusa carves through enemy hordes with sword and ninjutsu. Precise blocking, dodging and aggressive combos define its brilliant combat.

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.

Thymesia

Challenging difficulty

A fast, punishing soulslike where you play plague doctor Corvus, relying on precise parries and dodges and on the disease powers of plundered weapons. Combat rewards aggression over turtling, set in a grim, decaying kingdom.
