A fast, flashy hack-and-slash where Nero's Devil Bringer arm lets you yank enemies around and chain outrageous combos, with Dante returning with his switchable fighting styles. The style ranking system rewards variety and precision, giving it huge mastery depth.

Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening

Challenging difficulty

A blistering hack-and-slash where young Dante juggles swappable fighting styles, weapons and guns, and the game rewards you for fighting with flair. It is famously punishing, with legendary boss duels like the fights against Vergil and a heavy metal soundtrack.

Bayonetta

Lavish presentation

A supremely stylish character action game where the witch Bayonetta battles hordes of angels using Witch Time, precise dodges and absurdly over-the-top finishers. Deep combo mechanics, colossal bosses and plenty of tongue-in-cheek charm.

Bayonetta 2

Lavish presentation

A blistering character action game where Bayonetta battles angels and demons using Witch Time dodges, wild combos and summoned demons. Absurdly over-the-top spectacle backed by an extremely precise and deep combat system.

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

Lavish presentation

A fast action RPG spin-off in the Final Fantasy universe with Soulslike influences: as Jack you fight through a grim reimagining of the original Final Fantasy using a deep job system, parry-based combat and optional co-op. Its melodramatic story is memorable and often enjoyed ironically.

Astral Ascent

Lavish presentation

A fast-paced 2D action roguelite where you pick one of four heroes and take on the twelve Zodiac bosses. Quick combat, plenty of spells and allies keep each run varied.

Ninja Gaiden 4

Challenging difficulty

Ninja Gaiden 4 revives the legendary hack-and-slash series with lightning-fast, brutal combat, co-developed by Team Ninja and PlatinumGames. As newcomer Yakumo you carve through a rain-soaked, demon-infested Tokyo where reflexes and combo mastery decide everything.

Devil May Cry

Challenging difficulty

The game that founded the stylish action genre: as demon hunter Dante you chain sword slashes and gunfire into flashy combos while a style meter grades every fight. A gothic castle setting, tough bosses and punishing difficulty define the experience.

The First Berserker: Khazan

Challenging difficulty

A punishing soulslike set in the Dungeon & Fighter universe, where the betrayed general Khazan seeks revenge through weighty, precise melee combat and brutal boss duels. Its striking cel-shaded look and aggressive parry-and-stamina system set it apart.

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.
