Not really… only if you play indie genres. We get like one or two good indie action games a year.
And to avoid any confusion: I mean action a la Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden II, God Hand… etc. Not roguelikes, zeldalikes, or soulslikes.
What about fighting games? I can probably name like 3 indies in the past decade that made it big: Skullgirls, Them Fightin’ Herds, and Melty Blood/Under Night In-Birth (And I’m being generous here by ignoring ASW’s involvement)
Plenty of weirdness in the genres you play, maybe, but that doesn’t cover every genre.
2024 Hades 2 and Nine Sols immediately come to mind. I’m sure there are plenty more, but that’s 2 off the dome 🤷♂️ I’ll dig further if you really want
No need for the hostility. Hope you have a great rest of your weekend.
Edit: No rest for the wicked, dungeons of hinterberg
I’m sure you’ll dispute quality or whatever but you get my point.

No hostility here. Just an appropriate response to your dolling out patronizing, unsolicited advice all while you’re misreading my comment and missing my point.
And to avoid any confusion: I mean action a la Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden II, God Hand… etc. Not roguelikes, zeldalikes, or soulslikes.
Yet you proceeded to name a roguelike, two soulslike, and a zeldalike—all the games you listed play nothing like the games I listed (categorically different genres), but I don’t assume nuance is of factor to you if you’re going around being condescending to strangers online. Hope you have a great rest of your weekend.
Plenty of people do: they may call it “character action” or “spectacle fighter” or whatever meaningless name is hot nowadays, but technically speaking they’re just action games with no extra tags.
Every game you mentioned has extra tags that fundamentally change how they play: roguelike, RPG, metroidvania… etc.
You also do not even need to know any of this: I literally mentioned exactly what I meant in my comment, and if you don’t subscribe to the same definition, you could’ve just moved on. Not really sure why you had to stop and doll out unsolicited wisdom if you had nothing of substance to offer.
You are incredibly invested in this. Play what you want to play, I really don’t care anymore. You took this way too far and your tone has been needlessly hostile. You have swung at everybody who has responded to you so far. Just calm down and move on. Please stop responding to me
You can never be happy. You always have to be pedantic and condescending to people who actually answer your questions normally. You always have to move the goalposts and play semantics.
“No, you didn’t give me games that are labeled exactly as I want them to be labeled, so you’re wrong and I’m still right.”

This is from my original comment. What moving goal posts? More like the person who replied to my comment ignored my original goalposts because they didn’t fit their narrative.

One or two good indie action games a year? Gotta broaden your horizons my dude
Fighting games however, yeah you right. Same with quality racing games.
How about you drop the BS and name games if you’re that confident?

No one prescribes to your very narrow definition of an action game so yeah Idk man, did what I could. Even agreed on fighting games. Have a good one.

Then stop responding to me and move on. You’re not gonna talk down to me and say “you need to broaden your horizons” then play victim when called out.
Fucking G*mers, man…

“No, you didn’t give me games that are labeled exactly as I want them to be labeled, so you’re wrong and I’m still right.”
You’re just as bad as Republicans nowadays.
And telling me to “broaden my horizons” is not a normal answer, it’s a condescending one.
If you think the difference between Hades and Bayonetta is semantics, like, holy shit. I don’t even know what to tell you.
Godspeed.

You need to find a reviewer who focuses on indie you jive with. They’re funnel points for these sorts of things.
I like boomershooters, so Civvie11 and MandaloreGaming are my gotos.
