Black Myth: Wukong

Boss fights as highlights

Thymesia

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

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.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword

Lavish presentation

Capcom's revival of Onimusha sends a samurai wielding the Oni Gauntlet through a demon-infested Edo-era Kyoto. Its core is weighty, precise swordplay built around timing-based counters and gory, cinematic presentation.

The First Berserker: Khazan

Boss fights as highlights

God of War

Boss fights as highlights

An older Kratos travels through Norse mythology with his son Atreus. Weighty axe combat, an emotional father-son story and a seamless single-shot camera make it stand out.

God of War III: Remastered

Boss fights as highlights

Kratos carves a brutal, spectacularly staged path of vengeance through Greek mythology, from the Underworld to Mount Olympus. Fast chain-blade combat, colossal bosses and occasional puzzles make for a cinematic action showpiece.

Boss fights as highlights
