Sonic Unleashed

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Sonic Unleashed alternates between blazing-fast daytime stages built around boosting and slower night stages where Sonic becomes the Werehog and brawls enemies. The mix of speed platforming and beat-'em-up combat is divisive but distinctive in the series.

Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection

The classic returns: knight Arthur fights through graveyards and demon castles in punishing platforming stages, now with a storybook look. Perfect for players who enjoy merciless but fair challenge and losing armor with every hit.

DmC: Devil May Cry

Bayonetta

Distinctive, stylised art style
