In this unique Zelda-lite game, explore and fight your way through surreal and creepy, nature, urban and abstract themed areas in the human Young's subconscious, evoked by a 16-bit-era visual style and a moody, dream-like soundtrack. Created by Sean Han Tani and Joni Kittaka.

Movement-first shooting where healing comes from standing close to what you are killing, so the loop pushes you into danger constantly. Style ranking rewards variety over efficiency. Its ceiling is very high and very demanding — the systems assume you will learn cancels and parries, and it is still in early access with the final chapters unfinished.

✓ If you enjoyed Severed, expect deep RPG systems, action RPG combat and adventure storytelling

≠ Its own twist: puzzle design, fighting mechanics and dark, oppressive atmosphere, while skipping exploration and discovery

Ninja Theory's reboot, with a reimagined Dante switching between angel and demon weapons in a Limbo that reshapes itself around him. As a standalone action game the combat is fluid and the levels are the most visually inventive in the series. It is also mechanically simpler than DMC3 or 5, the writing tries hard to be edgy, and the constant camera shake genuinely causes motion sickness for some.

≠ Where it differs: brings visual third person, while skipping exploration and discovery

The game that created character action: a combo system with style ranking, weapon switching and a gothic castle designed like a Resident Evil map, which is exactly where it came from. Fixed cameras cause real problems in combat, the underwater sections are widely disliked, and the difficulty spikes hard from the third boss onward.

✓ If you enjoyed Severed, expect deep RPG systems, action RPG combat and adventure storytelling

≠ Where it differs: brings visual third person, while skipping exploration and discovery

A Yoko Taro game, which means the systems are secondary to the structure: repeated playthroughs reveal different perspectives on the same events, and the tone is deliberately unpleasant. The combat is basic hack-and-slash and the technical performance is poor, with heavy frame drops. The final branch is notoriously difficult in a way that has little to do with skill.
