Hello, it's me.
I come to you today because I've realized out of every possible game mechanic out there, nothing beats a nice parry. When there's a flash of light, I hit the parry maneuver, and there's a satisfying clang it's the tingliest feeling. I live for it. The enemy gets staggered, I do a cool combo, and the dork-ass enemy tries to attack again. Nope, get parried. It's great.
So what are some good examples maybe I'm unfamiliar with? Games that I mean:
- Sekiro
- Metal Gear Rising
- Sifu
- Ninja Gaiden 4
- Granblue Fantasy Relink
I also have tried Ultrakill but it's just too overstimulating for my puny pea brain. It's a neat game though.
Dead as Disco has some parrying in it, it's like a mix of Sifu and Hi Fi Rush, parry on time with the beat to do a 1 hit KO on the enemy while bosses require parrying, blocking, and dodging all while sticking to the beat of the song. It's early access but solid.
