Can't get enough of Sekiro's boss fights. All of them were fantastic. You feel like a real badass when you defeat them. Especially the final boss. Culmination of everything you've learned.
Loved elden ring, hated sekiro, I usually love hard games and play everything on highest difficulty by default, but fuck Sekiro. I just couldnt get into it.
Sword Saint Isshin from Sekiro is one of the most incredibly well designed bosses in gaming. Literally everything the game had taught you until then needs to be deployed, from lightning reversal to the mikiri counter, and it's such an incredible experience, and yes i spent a week at him the first time and for anyone that hasnt yet played Sekiro, please do, you are missing out on an amazingly rewarding experience. GG in advance!
Yeah buddy, this is the most well designed boss. Everything he throws at you through all the phases is just incredible. I think Ishin took me at least 30 hours to beat in my first playthrough. But the great feeling you get, when you defeat him. It undescribable. Sto everyone, who wants a geeat game with challenging gameplay, go for it. Its worth the hard work and frustration.
Hardest game I ever played, I highly do NOT recommend it. I even tried going back to it after I Platinumed Elden Ring, but could not stand the one way only mechanic parrying system.
@@raider_reaper_4194 i don't judge you dude, it took me 2 rage quits to finally learn how to play the game, you cant dark souls your way through Sekiro which is what literally everyone tries to do, just because it's a fromsoft game. once the combat clicks, you will know what we mean. give it another try but this time instead of trying to roll out of the way, stand there and deflect. it will click soon.
That moment in Hollow Knight where you see in big red letters over a black screen - "NIGHTMARE KING GRIMM" proceeded by not surviving 20 seconds is absolute perfection. Best fight in the game.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake should be on here, Sephiroth, Airbuster, Hell House are all pretty insane, not to mention the incredible soundtracks for each fight
Some good meme about game bosses: 1: You start a really fun boss fight 2: It's surprisingly easy 3: It has a second stage that's a lot harder 4: The Boss music har lyrics now 5: THE LYRICS ARE IN LATIN
for me, the first time i ever experienced a boss fight that blew my mind away, it was in Kingdom Hearts II. fighting Xemnas as a kid just gave me all the chills. even more so with sephiroth. ahh.... good times
ya sephiroth fight on hard was so brutal. if he knocked you into the air you were done cause it was unblockable and only gave you a split second to heal with a mega exlixer and if you missed it you died instantaly epecially on hard caude that has been the hardest boss fight i ever experienced. it took me well over 20 times to beat him. I hope falcon does a part 2
In kh2 theres a cutscene of the lazer dome attack. In kh3 he actually does it and you have to survive inside it. Scared the absolute hell out of me but fulfilled a childhood dream
Even though it's not in here, I feel like you could also add Returnal as an honorary pick. The main bosses of the biomes are some of the coolest boss fights I've ever been a part of in any video game, especially the Hyperion fight. The buildup to the Hyperion fight is one of the very few times I've ever really truly gotten goosebumps in a game because of how cool it was. Visually, the fights are incredible, too. Extremely vibrant, colorful orbs being shot at you, the fact that each boss fight has 3 phases and how punishing the nature of the game is, so you can't get caught zigging when you should've zagged or you're back to square one. Very cool game. Worthy of a shoutout on this list.
Love Hollowknight. I really would have never played it, due to the type of game it is, but I’m so glad I was able to catch one of my favorite streamers playing (Barbarous King).
I remember the Sephiroth battle in the original FF7 blew me away back in the day. all the moves he was doing, attacking my party with comets and fighting in space and for the first time in the series at the end of the game they switched from midi to full uncompressed audio for the final boss music adding that gospel choir that sings his name, it was so epic way back on the PS1.
I just started Elden Ring, enjoying it so far, but I played Demon's Souls just a couple of weeks ago and, combined, some of the most ridiculous boss fights I've ever come across. It is awesome. I'd also add, I think it Nemesis from Returnal. That game drove me crazy, but I have to give them credit for that thing.
I think Elden Ring has the wildest FromSoftware boss battles yet with the likes of Maliketh, Godfrey/Horah Loux, Rykard, Malenia, Fortissax, Placidussax, Radagon/Elden Beast etc.
@@WarriorofSunlight I definitely agree with you. I've played Bloodborne, DS3 & DS1 since then, DS3 & BB are awesome, but Elden Ring remains my favorite.
Glad to see Monster Hunter do so well here. World is an immense game. Plus, in the series, literally everything you do revolves around and focuses on taking out the “bosses” / monsters. You need a set of armour and a new weapon to beat the next monster? Well you best make sure you have the right armour and weapons to grind the monster required to make the desired set lol. It’s a constant feeling of progression and such a rewarding game. Highly recommend it to those who haven’t got into the MH games yet.
3U, 4U, Gen U, World: Iceborne and Rise all have incredible combat and boss battles. Even the older ones like 3U still have combat better than most games, even though it’s dated compared to later entries in the series.
I still up to this date played so many games but the bossess what makes it more memorable that there are actually countless that i always came back over an over again which we have to thank the Dev's for it to make them.
Any person who is looking to challenge themselves , from software is where it’s at. I haven’t finished sekiro or Elden ring yet I play them like every few days, but man’s it’s so satisfying to beat bosses
A honerable mention for the 2D games must be Cuphead. I wouldn't say they are completely insane but the ability to make every boss feel hard when you fight them the first time is crazy. And the game is just bosses so.
Fantastic video. It made me want to go back to things I had abandoned (FS games) and to try franchises I've never felt that were for me (DMC). And we can feel how Falcon loves this subject just by the way he narrates it
Ya can't know until you try, I've never once thought that rogue-likes were for me, then I played Hades and loved/finished it. The next genre I've never played but will give a try with Sons of the Forest is survival
An underrated boss fight in my opinion is when u fight essej in Control. At that point, Jesse has all of her powers and of course, so does essej so it's bad ass and it's a tough fight, especially on harder difficulties.
Most of the optional boss fights in this game are fantastic (and yes, that includes the DLC fights). The only exception is the anchor, which is pretty pathetic.
Loved this video, and it includes some of my favorite games. I would like to give a special thumbs up to almost all of MGS bosses, its been quite consistent from the start till the end. Also most of the end bosses in MGS are amazing and make for such a unique, memorable, mind blowing experience. Even after all these years, I can remember these boss battles: MGS1: Solid Snake vs Liquid Snake- especially the Hand to Hand Combat MGS2: Raiden vs Solidus Snake [Quite a different take] MGS3: Naked Snake vs the Boss [one of the most emotional Boss battles of all times, I literally cried after this battle] MGS4: Solid Snake vs Liquid Ocelot [again some Hand to Hand, and some of the best fight sequences] MGS5: Venom Snake vs Sahelanthropus [Perhaps bit underwhelming as compared to the others in this list but still good] MG Revengeance: Raiden vs Senator Armstrong [Best Music in my opinion] I haven't played the original Metal Gear games but have seen the gameplay videos on UA-cam. Always a ride down the memory lane for me. Thank you again for the high quality of your videos.
The thing I love most about FromSoft games is they can be brutally difficult but they are the fairest boss encounters ever. With out fail, if you die it's because you made a mistake or two during the fight.
Sword Saint Isshin from Sekiro is the best boss fight in a videogame, period. The victory cry I gave when I beat him is something that has never happened to me playing a video game. You have to use every bit of knowledge the game has given you to beat him and it's very satisfying when you manage to do it.
I'm surprised Furi didn't get a mention. It's basically a game that's nothing but a boss rush and each boss is balls-to-the-wall difficult in so many different ways. If you can play that game without losing your mind and absolutely raging you've officially achieved the highest level of zen possible because the game WILL break you
God of War 3 to this day still is the best game at making you feel like a badass. No other game makes you feel as strong or as brutal as God of War 3 does. Every single boss fight is so cool and breathtaking, yet Kratos brutually puts an end to them without mercy. Absolutely timeless game.
Great list, but I think that Arkham City and origins had mostly great bosses. Could have been an honourable mention. The Freeze fight is one of the best fights in gaming for its creativity and the clayface fight is great for spectacle as well as the deathstroke fight.
My top 10: 10. Batman: Arkham City 9. God of War (2018) 8. Batman: Arkham Origins 7. Sekiro: Shadows Due Twice 6. God of War Ragnarok 5. Devil May Cry 5 4. Bloodborne 3. God of War III 2. Dark Souls 3 1. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
So glad hollow knight made the list, the bosses are honestly some of my favorites. Nightmare King Grimm, Pure Vessel, and the Mantis Lords are among the best fights in the game!!
If one day there's a part 2 for this list, I wish they added Ocarina of Time's boss battles. I know that for nowadays standards they don't seem much, but back then these battles were AWESOME, specially with the boss name and description as a presentation and the classical boss theme.
Twilight Princess has even better boss battles, both mechanically and artistically. It has the likes of Argorok, Stallord, Darknut and the insane final battle with Ganondorf just to make a few. It’s one of the most massively slept on games that I know of.
Honestly going through my third playthrough of Resident Evil 4 Remake, the boss fights are just *chefs kiss* perfect. Highlight is Krauser both his first fight and second fight. Always on my edge and ready but man it was so amazing.
is it harder than re2 you think the hardest mode what is it survival,Done clair path first blind never played re apart from 5,re2 was hard as shit on somebits lel,the sewers is the best bit
Despite the hundreds of other great games I've played over the past decades, Ludwig is still one of the most badass, epic bosses I ever fought, not the mention so many others. From Software are the undisputed masters.
I haven't played a whole lot of games , but Ludwig is imo the best boss i ever fought...loved every second of that fight and the second phase is truly breathtaking!
I mean.. assuming it's just the 3 of them I would imagine they split the UA-cam dollars evenly between them. With the number of views their videos get I would say they probably don't need a raise.. just saying
Fecto Elfilis from Kirby and the Forgotten Land was so dang crazy. You just have an awesome fight topped by the amazing visuals and music. Then in the final QTE against it, you literally become a truck and proceed to run over it.
I know it's too old for most people to be interested nowadays, but the Super NES''s Yoshi's Island final boss was a site to behold back in the day. And that music...amazing.
Hell House in Final Fantasy 7 Remake. While the core part of the battle will need to be handled the same by each player (it shifts elements, so you need to have magic on hand that will counter each of its elements), there's a lot of other ways you can go about the fight, especially on hard mode where the boss itself wasn't just stronger, but it brought out some (sometimes unfair) extra help. The hard mode fight took me over 50 tries because I was being extremely stubborn and absolutely refused to just redo thr chapter and play it better to have more MP by the time I reached the boss, but I'm a little proud of my stubborness for pulling it off 😅
Look, DMC 2 wasn't great, it was quite bad, but mate if I didn't rent and play the shit out of it multiple times as a kid. It was one of the first incredibly hard games I ever played to completion. That game's atmosphere and weird, gothic-horror atmosphere with Suave emo Dante still brings back great memories.
Great list, all the games here are fully deserving but i would personally include Nier Automata and Final Fantasy VII Remake as well. especially FFR, i think Square Enix did a fantastic job re-imagining all those encounters from the classic, and the amazing orchestrated music elevates the battles even more, goosebumps fest for me.
I’m surprised ghost of Tsushima wasn’t on that list. Every single duel is basically a boss fight and they’re so ridiculously intense and fun, especially when you duel the eagle at the end of the iki island expansion
We all knew Shadow of Colossus was going to be up here. Although it always gets its praise and props. Still always nice to see it gets its props a decade later. How much impact and hours of fun and experiences its given alot of us.
There’s also Control, which may not have much of a boss implementation in the main game, but most of the optional boss fights and the DLC boss fights are epic, albeit pretty taxing. (I said most, because the anchor was pretty pathetic)
The endgame bosses in the more recent Monster Hunter games also has dynamic soundtrack, especially the ones where, when the monster is in panic mode, the Proof of a Hero plays in the style of the game and mixes with the monster’s own theme. It’s not just taking one piece of music and flat out replacing another piece, the two pieces intermingle, struggle for supremacy, and if you’re owning the fight then eventually Proof of a Hero starts playing using the instruments of the monster’s own theme, or you cart your final time before you get there.
Amazing video as always! I want to make a request though... Could you guys tune down the brightness on the number count? Watching this at night even at my lowest setting is a small flashbang for me! Good job y'all :)
Sekiro to me represents From Software at their peak in boss design, so many memorable and fun bosses that are infinitely replayable (Genichiro, Isshin, Owl just to name a few). Dark Souls 3's bosses are also equally amazing, and despite the fact it has less bosses than Elden Ring, it makes up for it by keeping the quality a lot more consistent, whereas in ER's case so many of the bosses are nothing more than a cool spectacle and aren't that much fun to actually fight.
I’m just going to say it. Sword Saint Isshin. Every other boss out there. In all of video game universe. Pales. I took his life. But he took my heart. Same could be said about Miyazaki. You genius bastard.
Wasn’t insane environment wise, but in Ghost of Tsushima, on the DLC Island I fought the Mongol boss Khunbush for two whole in-game days. It was outrageous.
A "reworking" of Tenchu would be dream game - If they nailed the execution. It was one of the 1st games I fell in love with (perfecting every level) and I'd LOVE to see it come back. Tenchu remake / remaster PLEASE!
I recommend Ghost of Tsushima if you haven't played yet, it's not quite Tenchu, but until we get Codname Red from Ubisoft, it's the closest we'll get. Tenchu Z had some great ideas but it did not come together as a whole, sadly. Wrath of Heaven remains the best that series got in my opinion.
@@takoshihitsamaru4675 Have it and completed it -Absolutely fantastic game! And I may have seen a bit of Wrath of Heaven (very, VERY Kurosawa? Looks like a puppet show almost?) but haven't dipped in. May do if I get an itch that cannot be scratched. Thanks!
@@sywrexile Wrath of Heaven is kinda like the midway point of old Tenchu and more modern games, a nice balance and it rewards timing and stealth above all (3 playable character campaigns too). Ghost was honestly my game of the decade, so incredibly good and even more so because I'm an Xbox owner, never owned a PS since PS2.
Can't get enough of Sekiro's boss fights. All of them were fantastic. You feel like a real badass when you defeat them. Especially the final boss. Culmination of everything you've learned.
Couldnt agree more, sekiro definitely has best bosses overall of all time
Yep Sekiro should've been number one on its own. What a game
You guys finished Sekiro. Didnt know that was possible 😅
Loved elden ring, hated sekiro, I usually love hard games and play everything on highest difficulty by default, but fuck Sekiro. I just couldnt get into it.
@@fantikawerner8029 it takes me 3 tries to like it, man. we have to forget the things that we learn from any other Dark Souls games
Crazy how time flies. God of War 3 is still a looker, falcon. It’s old, but not exactly ancient. The devs did wonders on the graphics.
👆🏻
Got the remaster on ps4 and holy shit, if that's how good it looked when I was a kid I seriously under appreciated how beautiful the game is
Except for Hermes. He was pathetic.
All the rest, though, are fantastic. Especially Zeus. He’s shockingly resilient.
the proper GoW franchise
@@Ori_Kohav - Hermes may have been pathetic, but he was also such an obnoxious prat, killing him was rewarding, just to shut him up.
Sword Saint Isshin from Sekiro is one of the most incredibly well designed bosses in gaming. Literally everything the game had taught you until then needs to be deployed, from lightning reversal to the mikiri counter, and it's such an incredible experience, and yes i spent a week at him the first time and for anyone that hasnt yet played Sekiro, please do, you are missing out on an amazingly rewarding experience.

@@wisima9910 Isshin only took you 30 tries? lmao i spent weeks at that boss!! gg
First FromSoftware game I ever played was Bloodborne.
Father Gascoigne to me is the definition of a "you gon' learn today" moment in video games.
All of the Boss fights in Cuphead are completely insane.
Agreed
The art style, character design, and yeah difficulty are all insane.
Your distracted half the time by just how beautiful the game looks
I can't believe he didn't mention this!
@@shaungrant6501 I mean in just the beginning of this video he mentioned GOW 3(#10) as being a shear spectacle alone so Cuphead should qualify.
lets hope for a part two - commenters edition then.
Metal Gear Rising is probably THE game according to boss fights. The combat style, the music, the atmosphere, the enemies, everything is perfect.
👆🏻
It also has the memes - DNA of the soul
It's also the only thing I know for being the best
That moment in Hollow Knight where you see in big red letters over a black screen - "NIGHTMARE KING GRIMM" proceeded by not surviving 20 seconds is absolute perfection. Best fight in the game.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake should be on here, Sephiroth, Airbuster, Hell House are all pretty insane, not to mention the incredible soundtracks for each fight
I was coming here to say the same thing, especially if you include some of the sims as well. My gosh, the summon fights are fantastic.
Some good meme about game bosses:
1: You start a really fun boss fight
2: It's surprisingly easy
3: It has a second stage that's a lot harder
4: The Boss music har lyrics now
5: THE LYRICS ARE IN LATIN
😂
for me, the first time i ever experienced a boss fight that blew my mind away, it was in Kingdom Hearts II. fighting Xemnas as a kid just gave me all the chills. even more so with sephiroth. ahh.... good times
It was really unbelievable awesome!!
Have you played the Remind data fights?

In kh2 theres a cutscene of the lazer dome attack. In kh3 he actually does it and you have to survive inside it. Scared the absolute hell out of me but fulfilled a childhood dream
Yeah, the final battle versus Xemnas in KH2 is still my favourite boss fight of all time. 👍

Especially Nemesis
Bloodborne raised the bar on quality boss fights in terms of mechanics, atmosphere, OST. Just the best.
The GOW 3 Cronos fight is epic, same with the DMC 5 flights.
Love Hollowknight. I really would have never played it, due to the type of game it is, but I’m so glad I was able to catch one of my favorite streamers playing (Barbarous King).

Isshin sword saint and isshin ashina AND genichiro…Basically the whole of sekiro
I knew it.
I know it's too old for most people to be interested nowadays, but the Super NES''s Yoshi's Island final boss was a site to behold back in the day. And that music...amazing.
Sekiro will always have some of my favorite boss fights. One of my absolutely favorite games.
The headless ape👌
Going back and replaying the game, I find Genichiro way too easy, but there's still just something so satisfying about that fight.
@@gameranxTV lmao
The entirety of sekiro bosses, bloodborne, elden ring, darksouls. Thats it.
Lmao you showed V on the cover to talk about dm5's craziest boss battle 😂
Hell House in Final Fantasy 7 Remake. While the core part of the battle will need to be handled the same by each player (it shifts elements, so you need to have magic on hand that will counter each of its elements), there's a lot of other ways you can go about the fight, especially on hard mode where the boss itself wasn't just stronger, but it brought out some (sometimes unfair) extra help. The hard mode fight took me over 50 tries because I was being extremely stubborn and absolutely refused to just redo thr chapter and play it better to have more MP by the time I reached the boss, but I'm a little proud of my stubborness for pulling it off 😅
Plz do a 10 fromsoft bosses
Thanks for your suggestion
Gameranx: ALL the games in the dmc series have an amazing battles
Dmc2: " I'm with company "
Look, DMC 2 wasn't great, it was quite bad, but mate if I didn't rent and play the shit out of it multiple times as a kid. It was one of the first incredibly hard games I ever played to completion. That game's atmosphere and weird, gothic-horror atmosphere with Suave emo Dante still brings back great memories.
@@takoshihitsamaru4675 + majin devil trigger was cool
Sekiro fights are pure dopamine
😅
By the time we got to number 2 and I hadn't seen Asura's Wraith or a From Software game, I knew we had missed one 😢
Great list, all the games here are fully deserving but i would personally include Nier Automata and Final Fantasy VII Remake as well. especially FFR, i think Square Enix did a fantastic job re-imagining all those encounters from the classic, and the amazing orchestrated music elevates the battles even more, goosebumps fest for me.
👍🏼 Part 2
@@gameranxTV Hell yes, probably my most anticipated game this year.
Hi Falcon, it's Folks lol.
Amazing video by the way. Thanks to the team too for their hard work to entertain us.
Thanks for all your support
The Heimdall boss battle in GOW is really freaking awesome. Nero Vs Vergil was fun as well!
Gow3 has the best fights in the series
of course nero vs vergil was fun who hasn't thought of using devil buster on vergil back in dmc4
Definitely Returnal also, love those fights especially Hyperion!
I’m surprised ghost of Tsushima wasn’t on that list. Every single duel is basically a boss fight and they’re so ridiculously intense and fun, especially when you duel the eagle at the end of the iki island expansion
This is a list of GODS, FromSoft is the Ace
Love you Falcon
I really love your videos their so entertaining and fun 😊.
Thanks
Gameranx is my go to channel for long drives!
Maliketh the Black Blade is number one for me.
👌
We all knew Shadow of Colossus was going to be up here. Although it always gets its praise and props. Still always nice to see it gets its props a decade later. How much impact and hours of fun and experiences its given alot of us.
Cant argue with the FromSoftware Bosses i loved most of them from Darksouls to EldenRing ,from Bloodborne to Sekiro they where all awesome.
🤝👍🏼
Recently got into the souls genre and God it's awesome.....all the other games fail miserably compared to them
Personally, the cinematography of the Ghost of Tsushima fights and duels are unprecedented
Especially against The Eagle in the Iki Island DLC
There’s also Control, which may not have much of a boss implementation in the main game, but most of the optional boss fights and the DLC boss fights are epic, albeit pretty taxing.
(I said most, because the anchor was pretty pathetic)
From software bosses = let me test your insanity and your skills, Tarnished.
😂
Who is the Mastermind behind all of your game list ideas? Do you do a brainstorm? This is pure LSS knowledge in life, great job, really
We all contribute
Dark Souls 3 is probably as close as it gets with having a near perfect lineup of bosses. Only about 2 clunkers in the entire game.
The endgame bosses in the more recent Monster Hunter games also has dynamic soundtrack, especially the ones where, when the monster is in panic mode, the Proof of a Hero plays in the style of the game and mixes with the monster’s own theme. It’s not just taking one piece of music and flat out replacing another piece, the two pieces intermingle, struggle for supremacy, and if you’re owning the fight then eventually Proof of a Hero starts playing using the instruments of the monster’s own theme, or you cart your final time before you get there.
How is the god of war ragnarok first Thor fight not on here. It’s by far the best boss in any game ever
I would love to see Furi in one of such lists. It is kinda underappreciated.
Great pick 👍
Honestly, I think Ori and the Will of the Wisps should've taken Hollow Knights spot. The bossfights in Ori are the best.
Agreed
Sekiro bossess is just so cool to play against. Literally dancing with them and at fast pace too, so satisfying!
Great list, but where is Cuphead?
Knight Gael and Isshin Sword Saint are the peak of boss level design and the best bosses I have ever faced
No surprise. List full of mostly Japanese games. Western devs for the most part cant compete with japanese devs when it comes to gameplay
Surprised not to see any of the Arkham games in here. I thought most of the bosses in Arkham City were freaking awesome.
Bloodborne is the best
Really any souls game imo
I really dont understand the hype on this game
Sekiro is better
There is nothing that can top it.
@@ryandasilva175 it’s harder than Elden ring but easier than DS2 and 3, so the fans that wanna feel hardcore but not really, love it.
Amazing video as always! I want to make a request though... Could you guys tune down the brightness on the number count? Watching this at night even at my lowest setting is a small flashbang for me! Good job y'all :)
Do a list of arcade like games that even story mode players can enjoy
Thanks for your suggestion
I will like a video like that
Id watch that
Amazing work once again gentleman. Could you make a top 10 list of games that should be remade, or remastered, or both
Sekiro to me represents From Software at their peak in boss design, so many memorable and fun bosses that are infinitely replayable (Genichiro, Isshin, Owl just to name a few). Dark Souls 3's bosses are also equally amazing, and despite the fact it has less bosses than Elden Ring, it makes up for it by keeping the quality a lot more consistent, whereas in ER's case so many of the bosses are nothing more than a cool spectacle and aren't that much fun to actually fight.
I’m just going to say it. Sword Saint Isshin. Every other boss out there. In all of video game universe. Pales. I took his life. But he took my heart.
Same could be said about Miyazaki. You genius bastard.
Elden ring fire giant. Need I say more?
nah that boss fight is dog shit.
Wasn’t insane environment wise, but in Ghost of Tsushima, on the DLC Island I fought the Mongol boss Khunbush for two whole in-game days. It was outrageous.
Fromsoft is king
A "reworking" of Tenchu would be dream game - If they nailed the execution. It was one of the 1st games I fell in love with (perfecting every level) and I'd LOVE to see it come back. Tenchu remake / remaster PLEASE!
I recommend Ghost of Tsushima if you haven't played yet, it's not quite Tenchu, but until we get Codname Red from Ubisoft, it's the closest we'll get. Tenchu Z had some great ideas but it did not come together as a whole, sadly. Wrath of Heaven remains the best that series got in my opinion.
@@takoshihitsamaru4675 Have it and completed it -Absolutely fantastic game! And I may have seen a bit of Wrath of Heaven (very, VERY Kurosawa? Looks like a puppet show almost?) but haven't dipped in. May do if I get an itch that cannot be scratched. Thanks!
@@sywrexile Wrath of Heaven is kinda like the midway point of old Tenchu and more modern games, a nice balance and it rewards timing and stealth above all (3 playable character campaigns too).
Ghost was honestly my game of the decade, so incredibly good and even more so because I'm an Xbox owner, never owned a PS since PS2.
Genshin Impact has some pretty good bosses especially in Chapter 3
👍🏼
Definitely would have included returnal bosses, just phenomenal works of art
fromsoftware on top
I like how Falcon could barely find words to describe Hollow Knight, which just feels epic intuitively
