Heath Hindman writes "Yakuza 0 delivers the best story the series has seen. While still guilty of using the same tropes as previous games, the instances of outright abusing said tropes to the point they go from being funny to being stupid is noticeably cut down. Yes, guys still bro it out before becoming allies; you’ll still hear gunshots from people who just arrived in the nick of time, and there’s of course the token time when the bad guy tries to kill himself but the hero won’t allow it. They exist, but they’re at least used in moderation. I can tolerate and even welcome that."
Yagmur Sevinc from NoobFeed writes - Combat is incredibly important in a game where the majority of the time is spent kicking and screaming. When the type of combat mechanics a game employs speaks to us, it instantly elevates the mood and makes the game an unforgettable experience. Let us look at some of the games where combat is so addictive that it leaves you with a smile on your face every time you look back at it.
the combat in Control is deeply satisfying imo. you really feel powerful and its slick too.
Oh…how God of War left me in awe of its combat mechanics🤯 And throwing that 🪓 again and again, NEVER gets old😊 Never have I felt more like a complete an utter badass lol. Pardon my language. Well, come to think of it, maybe when I played as Joel in Last of Us, but idk, that’s up for debate haha!
Nod to Control, that has fun combat mechanics.
Could have gone a bit further and checked older games. God Hand had an incredibly addictive combat style imo.
Let's not forget Devil May Cry 5 too!
It takes a while for you to learn to execute stylish combos. With Devil May Cry 3/4, it took me years of practice
I would add:
-Doom Eternal
-DMC5
-Spider-Man (I think they managed to differentiate from the Arkham formula, since they don’t have a “counter” button. And the zip-punch is perfect to keep momentum going)
My personal fav combat:
1. Destiny 2
2. Skyforge
3. Control
4. DMC 3
5. BF3
6. Titanfall 2
7. Arkham Series
8. Tekken
9. HL2 series
10. Homeworld series
All for different reasons

I'm about to start this series. In order of release. Even though the recommendation is to start w/ 0
This week on Digital Fiasco: Why is Lindsay Lohan still news, Bethesda crushes my Elder Scrolls dreams, Final Fantasy VII may not be an action game after all, Digital Homicide vs Jim Sterling (Part 2). We’ll also talk about Gamestop’s slightly less scummy Circle of Life program, but first we have the ultimate (and hopefully final) Switch disappointment roundup.
