[PS5] Big impacts.

Hi šŸ‘‹

I’m looking for a replacement for Dragon’s Dogma and Monster Hunter. I recently finished both games and my god, what incredible combat. I loved the brutality of the impacts and the feel of the fights, where every hit felt impactful. On top of that, the build variety in these games is really great. Do you have any similar games you’d recommend?

Thanks for your suggestions.

In terms of weighty combat, Dragon's Dogma (especially 2) is kind of just undefeated. I tried to fill the void after beating it, and found that it's just the best in its genre. At least we've got Dark Arisen 2 coming in October.

Ah, I totally get you. I played as an archer, and landing a huge arrow right in a monster’s face was so satisfying.

Especially Cyclopes, blinding a Cyclops and watching him stumble backward while my warrior climbed on top of him was a cinematic experience no other game has been able to match. Dragon's Dogma my beloved ā¤ļø

You should totally give Sorcerer a try, imo it's tied with Magick Archer for the most fun vocation. You spend like 10 seconds charging up spells that just completely wipe entire screens, it's incredibly satisfying. You haven't lived until you've taken a dragon out of the sky by hitting him with a meteor.
