it’s very much borrowed from one of the reddit subs i frequent(ed) often, but the idea is to share what we’re playing weekly and hopefully create discussions around those games (or simply have a sort of “check-in”).

i’ll start, i’m playing Devil May Cry 5, i wanted to see what all the fuss was about action/gameplay-wise before starting FF XVI in a few weeks time (which I’m extremely hyped for!).
i’m having a pretty great time with the game so far!
What would you compare DmC5 with? I’ve always been curious!
DMC5 is a character action game. It’s hard to compare to other stuff that isn’t Character Action, but other examples would be Bayonetta, God Hand, Metal Gear Rising: Revengence, and Nier Automata. That last one is the least character action IMO because part of what makes CA CA is that you get ranked during combat, which Nier Automata doesn’t do - but that also makes it a good start into the genre. I’d also recommend MGR:R for that, it’s pretty chill as far as ranking you.
also I’m using “Character Action” as it’s the most popular naming convention, but I prefer “Stylish Action.” I feel like it captures the vibe more. it’s about absolutely styling on your enemies in the coolest ways possible via an open sandbox of tools.
