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.

Valor Mortis

Lavish presentation

A first-person soulslike from the Ghostrunner team that casts you as a resurrected soldier of Napoleon's army. You fight horrifying monsters with blades, firearms and supernatural powers, in tense parry-driven combat set in a grim, twisted version of the Napoleonic era.

Beast of Reincarnation

Challenging difficulty

Game Freak's dark action RPG sends Emma and her dog Koo across a ruined, post-apocalyptic Japan. Its core is demanding, technical combat built around the two fighting as a duo.

Soulstice

Fantasy setting

A dark fantasy hack-and-slash in the vein of classic stylish action games, where you control two very different sisters at once: a swordswoman and her ghostly companion. The fast combat built on switching powers and chaining combos carries an emotional story about sisterly bonds.

No Rest for the Wicked

Lavish presentation

An isometric soulslike action RPG with weighty, deliberate melee combat, stamina management and loot-driven builds, wrapped in a gorgeous painterly dark fantasy style. Town building and co-op round out the grim adventure on the Isle of Sacra.

Skydance's Behemoth

A VR action adventure where you play the hunter Wren and take down colossal Behemoths in a cursed, fallen kingdom. It centers on weighty melee fights against giant beasts and a bleak atmosphere.

Blades of Fire

Fantasy setting

A dark fantasy action adventure where you play Aran de Lira, forging your own weapons and tailoring them to enemy weaknesses. Weapon crafting and weighty, tactical melee combat are the heart of the experience.
