You're cut to that boss from FF13 in the intro gave me flashbacks.. I put so much effort and time into that game just to quit at that point..

I listen to some streamers give this game a bad review and give dragon age veilguard a good review......... insanity!!!!

i had to rely on chicken little for this in critical mode 😭

I liked the game, but brah, the level design and quests were terrible. The game has strong Unity Asset Flip vibes

I really liked the combat in Dragon Age Veilguard as well. Great list!

Another crab's adventure is a game with great parry mechanics. It's also a nice change of scenery from dark and gritty copy-paste souls-likes. Additionally there is Nine Sols - great metroidvania type game with parry-focused combat

Honestly, kid, how old are you? Do you actually have a job besides this 😂.

The ironic thing is that IMO Sekiro kinda overdid the parry mechanic. As someone who grew up with Onimusha and then Demon's and Dark Souls, to me parry is all about risk and reward and usually the reward is to insta-kill enemies or take out huge chunks of bosses HP. In Sekiro, parry is just the standard way to play the game. Don't get me wrong, it feels great to play Sekiro but it's a lot less rewarding to parry multiple times and build up a stagger gauge to get half the "reward" than it is to skillfully execute your enemies in 1 move. Sadly From even kept the "stagger" bar in Elden Ring and completely ruined parry for that game, even though it still works against some bosses but it's a lot more tedious than just attacking normally.

Kh2 is the best

Weird because I had a level 99 Kevin in NG+1 and then started NG+2 and he spawned in again at level 1. They must of patched it as of December 2024

Anyone know the song used at the end of the video?

Hello

I finish elden ring and dlc and ds3 now im playbg bloodborne for the first time, but later idk if i have to choose sekiro or ds1 im not cinsidering difficulty because thats what im looking fot but i just need a unique esperience soul like elden ring

The easiest souls game that I’ve ever played was Code Vein!

For SE I can't really throw 'best combat system' ranking with all their games together...I have to differentiate between best Turn based combat system and best action combat system. Which if I do imo the best Action combat system imo is probably FFXVI and then Star Ocean 6 (some people may argue 2 over 6 but imo that ones a bit too dated with some things even with the HD2D remake). After that probably Trials and then FFVIIR part 2 (or just full trilogy I guess...you could always view part 2 as essentially the same game and the mid story point young et some additional mechanics added)...I imagine FFVII Crisis Core remake could hit at about the same or better than Rebirth too but haven't played that version yet (played OG Crisis Core on PSP and will say all actions being locked behind Kingdom Hearts style command menu slowed combat down too much for me imo, swapping to specific button inputs definitely likely speeds up combat considerably. As for turn based my pick would probably be Octopath Traveler 2 (and 1 tbh...2 is mostly the same with maybe some slight changes here and there with night/day actions, encounter rate not being BS, etc) with Dragon Quest 8 right behind it (as for why 8 and not 11 it's mainly due to the MC having far more weapon options available to him as well as the Tension gauge being something you actively affect rather than it activating mostly on its own in 11. Being able to move around on the field at will is cool though (doesn't let you dodge attacks though which means it's just there for cosmetic reasons...if you could actually dodge attacks due to that then I think 11 would've taken the spot but it more or less acts like an MMO where the attack will hit or miss based off rng). Personally though only DQ or Octopah's combat system is even in my top 10 battle systems of all time...for the most part I prefer other rpgs systems over SE's with my favorite action combat system being Tales followed by Tokyo Xanadu and then Ys while my favorite TB system would be Trails followed by Valkyria Chronicles, and then Project X Zone.

Them re-releasing tendencies are the reason why there are devs which I never the first iteration from. Capcom is always re-releasing. Sf, DMC, MH and so on. Hate to see it.

Nioh and wo long is easily the best souls like not the cheap copy of blood borne "lies of p"

I wish more people said this because Zenless is one of the first gacha games i truly have grown to care about and yet every step of the way im pissed off because its a shame to see such a great world, concept, and characters go to waste in another disposable gacha game. This game does so many things i want in actual games and yet it ultimately means nothing along the characters as well as the world mean nothing because they dont exist to make a great game, they exist to drag ppl in to open their wallets. Every single new character I get mad when i have to gamble just to get them because regardless of the loving words you get from them in their story content, at the end of the day it doesnt mean shit if you arent smiled down upon by hoyo to have them. Its truly a shame that so many "gamers" justify and defend gacha practices because thats the only reason games like this are made the way they are.

Difference between Atlus and Falcom: Ys 10 Proud Nordic is coming out in Japan only next year, and they got Ys 10 last year, so it's been two years between Ys 10 games for Japan. This won't come west until 2026, so we're also going to be on a two year gap between the release of Ys 10 and this expansion. The problem with Atlus is not that they release expansions, it's that they release expansions right after the original game. I skipped Operation Aegis because I'd had enough Persona 3 Reload for the moment, two years from now, I might feel different and want more.

ZZZ but no WuWa when WuWa's combat has everything that the former has and more? That's a choice.

Wonder how come Gungho is publishing for Falcom instead of the publishers they've been with for years.

If for the ys X they do that in form of dlc I buy but of they do like the persona series do I will not buy again it's stupid to spend full price again at least for me

I'll finally be able to play the legendary hero games.

Praying about Ar Tornelico Remake

Trails in the Sky, I've heard a rumor that this game wasn't originally planned to be split into two parts, but it was done due to insufficient funding. The second part, with not much story to tell, was filled with a lot of fetch quests to pad the game length. I wonder if they'll remove the filler this time and just finish telling the story. That would make the pacing much tighter.

Well this is why I give games time to breathe and don't play them immediately, so much stuff can happens. I'll wait for the Proud version of Ys X lol. Lost soul looks incredible too!

Wasnt yuan xuan sword 7 the first AAA chinese game?

From left to right the women get girlier and girlier but man they all have great "character"

We need cross ownership for all PlayStation-PC games. I wanna play my PlayStation library on SteamDeck 🌌💟

🥶

lol that was quick 😂

Thanks man, was currently stuck in not knowing what to play next. This helped a lot!

Its awesome. They should have colorized the areas more is my only criticism. Combat is really good

ty algorithm , great list, just in time for steam sale to pick one of these up!

Zenless got a spot but nothing for Wuthering Waves? Really?! Hurt my feelings.

i would love to play some more grand blue fantasy, but if i have to farm this stupid ass behemoth one more time... i know you can AFK farm him, and i am strong enough to do so.... but thats not the point of a console game in my opinion, i wanna play a game, not watch it play itself, or not watch it at all

I loved the pace of this video, I feel some other people would've taken like 20 minutes to say basically the same.

Ys is pronounced EES. it's not Yees... Jesus Christ....

Bro actually put a Mihoyo Gacha game on Best Action RPG list lol. To be fair, Mihoyo has always put in work into their games. I won't lie, they have an amazing presentation. Music, character designs, story, and yes, the combat are all amazing. But they are gacha games! Your progress is hampered by gacha mechanics, and your characters will NEVER be as strong as they can possibly be unless you fork out a lot of money. I would never recommend such a game to anyone. I would say if you're going to play a Mihoyo game, play for the story, don't play for the RPG elements. You'll want to tear off your skin because of how grindy they make it, and being blocked off by pay walls, or weekly grinds making it near impossible to fully max out all of your characters without forking out extra cash.

What was the first game in the video?

Can't wait for the 2025 vid with MONSTER HUNTER WILDS lol

Stellar blades combat is in a league of its own this year

nice, what happend to your discord.

Good video man!! Just a side thing, did I get kicked from the discord or something?

Sweis hates Gacha confirmed! Play Nikke and Girls Frontline 2!

Yea sleeping on the flinch animations is a sad oversight. Isn't that also a problem in FF16?

A nice variety of Action RPG's here! Alot of variety too from what each game has that the others don't, making each game unique and different to try out. Love what you do, so keep it up, Sweis!

Excellent on including Visions of Mana and Granblue Fantasy Relink
