What games in your opinion what modern games best/fresh combat systems?

[JuvenileHell]

low key? Baldur's Gate 3. best take on turn based combat I've seen

 

[The Mad Titan]

Final fantasy 7 rebirth is criminally underrated which is crazy.

Sifu feel like absolver without the fat, which makes it peak.

Astral chains

Lies of P

Final fantasy 16 combat

The 1st berserker combat is actually insane.


Marvel Rivals

Rebirth does have the best multi-character action rpg combat.

9 Sols and Gaucamelee are tied for best modernized metroidvania combat. Bloodstained is honorable mentioned.

God of War Ragnorak combat is underrated. The ceiling is a bit lower than true character action games (DMC5 is king), but it's amazing what they've done with it. And it's dope that a breh is the combat designer of it.

Ghost of Tshushima combat is slightly overrated, but is still really well done. Super smooth and responsive and fairly elegant on lethal mode.

Vanquish's was under-appreciated.

I will throw Sea of Stars into the mix ass far as RPGs. It really refined concept from Chrono Trigger and Super Mario RPG.

I think Avowed deserves a shout out.

Sifu really redefined the beat em up genre as well so smooth and fluid especially when you start to 'git gud'

 

[Ironman]

Ghost of Tsushima, Sifu, Shadow of War, God of War 2018/Ragnarok, and old ass Rise to Honor on ps2

Really I don't think Oni gets talked about enough either for how far ahead of its time it was. That game arguably came out a decade too early.

The Rockstar game by Bungie?

Ghost is Tsushima is prolly the most fluid combat I've ever experienced. First game that truly felt next gen to me. Never felt boring.

I also really enjoyed hollow knights combat. Especially for a metroidvania. It's simplistic but very responsive and it makes you pay for every mistake in boss fights.

2 pages in and you know what's crazy?... No one has mentioned ANY of the spiderman games.

But Sony stans wanted to have my neck when I said the combat was boring, repetitive and needs to be reworked.

We got jrps and PS2 games being mentioned but spiderman...

Ghost of Tsushima/Spider-Man Miles Morales/Shadow of War have all equally perfected their fight systems in their way.


Of course the foundation is the Arkham series, but they've all built really well on those basics.

Reading is fun and mental. Dumbass.

Nioh might be the best souls-like combat. At least strictly melee wise. Khazaan is giving it some go tho.
