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.

      Glad I could help. :)

      The PoP metroidvania is a Ubisoft game so I had low expectations going in, but it turned out to be a really solid, fun MV. But apparently it didn’t perform as they expected it to sales-wise so the dev team for it was disbanded and the sequel canceled.

      But yeah, imo all 6 of the games I listed are quality games well worth checking out. I hope you enjoy them too if you end up getting them.
