Your top 5 character action games.

[LegitHyperbole]

Simple thread, Lets share. If you want to add them in that fine or say where they would be in a seperate list, please do but Soulslike games (I think some team ninja games might count) and recent genre changes like GOW series to open world RPG likes are off the table for my particular list anyway.

Here's mine. 

1. Sekiro

2. Neir Automata

3. Stellar Blade

4. God of war 3

5. DmC: Devil May Cry

That last ones is going to get me in trouble but hey, that games systems and metroid like level design is excellent. 

If adding in Soulsborne games and open world RPGs..

1. Sekiro

2. Bloodborne

3. Elden Ring

4. God of War '18

5. Neir Automata 

It is one hell of a game to pin down but at the very least I don't think Neir Automata counts as a JRPG, sorry to folks who do count it. It's action narrative at it's core. I don't see what makes it a JRPG aside from having side quests and Stellar ablaze has those. GOW '18 on the other hand is definetly RPG even though it is also narrative driven cause of the progression systems in the game. And how it is structured. I'd be willing to hear people out on Ragnorok counting as a mainly narrative/character action though.
