Help suggesting a new game

smogsy · 1 Sep 2023 at 22:00

Im looking for a game that has

god of war like combat, Super slick & smooth & feels meaty
Bit like oydessy in the sense its open world & (dont have to follow strict quests)
prefer medievil, old style era swords/spears vs lasers (none space)
not a fromsoftware game, as i find their combat just super janky

thoughts?

did play HZD, on/off side stuff i loved but the main quests & the voices in cutscenes put me off never finished it..

new creed looks like old style creed so doubt it, only creeds i liked were black flag,oydessy. hate when it jumps to modern day & valaha was terrible!

Elden ring lol, fits perfectly and is one of the best games of recent times.

apart from combat is super janky, not fluid & feels like your missing frames 24/7 like an old flash video

This or even Sekiro.

I assume you've played the older AC titles such as Origins?

played a bit of origins but found it not very fun with 400 miles of sand
put like 480 hours into oydessy

Diablo 3. I enjoyed the fighting aspect.

Arkham Knight
Days Gone

Actually, I haven't read your post closely enough but I stand by these 2 as potential wild cards

Lies of P when it is out? which I think is this month

Parky · 5 Sep 2023 at 20:09

What about something like Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor / Shadow of War?

Edit: Just seen them both in your list

spengos · 5 Sep 2023 at 20:10

Assassin's Creed Valhalla
Kingdoms of Amalur
Dragon's Dogma
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor / Shadow of War
Darksiders 1, 2, 3

Also lots of MMOs with decent combat and open world:
New World
Guild Wars 2
Black Desert

That sounds like Dragons Dogma to me.

You might also want to try Nier: Automata or Monster Hunter World which are both excellent but not what you asked for

One of the Monster Hunter games? I've been told World with the DLC and Rise are both pretty good.

If you discount the open world requirement then I'd say Nioh 2 and Bayonetta are worth a look for their combat.

Offtopic: MH games alternate between console and handheld iterations; they have seperate teams dedicated for each. Rise was good but very much the handheld team, CAPCOM will be announcing a new mainline entry soon.
