Most satisfying melee combat

[curl-6]

One of my absolute favourites is Red Steel 2. It's motion-plus-powered swordplay felt incredible, using my own movements to hack, slash, block, and parry my way through hordes of enemies had a level of tactile satisfaction virtually no other game can rival.

Platinum's games like Bayonetta 1-3, Nier Automata, and Astral Chain are also fantastic thanks to how smooth and free flowing they are and the punchy audio-visual feedback of each hit.
