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.
Glad I could help. :)
The PoP metroidvania is a Ubisoft game so I had low expectations going in, but it turned out to be a really solid, fun MV. But apparently it didn't perform as they expected it to sales-wise so the dev team for it was disbanded and the sequel canceled.
But yeah, imo all 6 of the games I listed are quality games well worth checking out. I hope you enjoy them too if you end up getting them.
