Hello, it’s me.catgirl-salute

I come to you today because I’ve realized out of every possible game mechanic out there, nothing beats a nice parry. When there’s a flash of light, I hit the parry maneuver, and there’s a satisfying clang it’s the tingliest feeling. I live for it. The enemy gets staggered, I do a cool combo, and the dork-ass enemy tries to attack again. Nope, get parried. It’s great.

So what are some good examples maybe I’m unfamiliar with? Games that I mean:

  • Sekiro
  • Metal Gear Rising
  • Sifu
  • Ninja Gaiden 4
  • Granblue Fantasy Relink

I also have tried Ultrakill but it’s just too overstimulating for my puny pea brain. It’s a neat game though.

    Dead as Disco has some parrying in it, it’s like a mix of Sifu and Hi Fi Rush, parry on time with the beat to do a 1 hit KO on the enemy while bosses require parrying, blocking, and dodging all while sticking to the beat of the song. It’s early access but solid.
