Whilst some may not think its as challenging as the super hard games we expect, Hogwarts Legacy has one of the most satisfying gameplay controls to play with in an RPG. I've managed to find this small clip online that shows a small part into the spells and combos, including how you can flip to flying so easily mid-battle. There's so many combo spells to choose from, it really is a whole lot of fun. Smooth is the perfect word for it. No wonder it was the biggest selling game of 2023.
 
 

It was great to finally get to play with some of you guys last night! I tried my best to keep up with you! 
 
This game is a blast and I’m now motivated to reach the higher levels to get some of the better stratagems that you lot were using! 
 
Looking forward to what they do with future updates too! 

Ashamed to say I haven’t played those 3 games! I believe I played a little bit of Fear 2 but don’t recall much of it! 
 
For me the first game that comes to mind is SIFU. I really fell in love with the combat in this game, learning to master the game was both challenging and rewarding, and beating it and earning the platinum was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had in gaming! 
 
Some other games that come to mind are Control, and going back further I would say Splinter Cell Conviction (although I’m not sure if the gameplay still holds up today!) 

Started my replay of Hellblade: Seuna’s Sacrifice in anticipation of the sequel releasing in May! Here are my first batch of screenshots … 

SIFU was my second favourite game from 2022, behind only God of War Ragnarok! 
 
I adored SIFU and it remains one of my proudest platinum trophies! Highly recommend people try it if you haven’t yet, now is the perfect time!!

As much as these games don’t appeal to me personally, I am always happy when PlayStation offer brand new games releasing on the service day one! I think they should do more of this.
 
I will definitely try out Foamstars, unlikely il try the others.
 
 

Yes a decent month to start 2024! 
 
I loved A Plague Tale Réquiem! Nobody saves the world was decent but have never tried Evil West! 
 
Hopefully the rest of 2024 will have lineups like this … 🤣

Seeing your screenshots and watching these clips has made me want to play this game! Always heard good things but never got around to it. Just looks like a lot of fun! 

Even more Max Payne 3

Every so often I stumble upon, or revisit a game which is just the equivalent of crack in terms of highly enjoyable and pulsating combat. These games just have that extra something which really stands out and where the combat shines mechanically and even visually. Off the top of my head, I'd say 3 games which really stand out are:-
 
Metal Gear Rising - fast paced, responsive, smooth and incredibly satisfying melee-based combat. 

 
F.E.A.R - inspired by Max Payne's bullet time feature but with additional immersion thanks to the first person perspective.

 
Max Payne 3 - bullet time never gets old plus the attention to detail and environmental effects look spectacular.

 
There's probably loads more that I've forgotten about but what are your standout games that just have that little bit more in terms of the combat?

It was quite good fun again! Bit cruel of @LordBaguette to start you off on extreme with us 🤣
 
I was still chuckling this morning about the number of chargers chasing me only for @GazzaGarratt to bring Tom back in right on top of them 😂
 
And watching Lee run around with all of the automatons chasing him while we all hid behind the building 😄
