Action role-playing game

Looking for a sort of hack and slash third person game where I can just turn my brain off.

Not really been playing games for story lately and just wanting some fun combat / movement to enjoy while I listen to podcasts in the background.

Thanks!

The gameplay evolves around fast-paced melee combat in third-person, with a strong focus on having both music and combat intertwined. Players can choose from four different weapons that all have different and unique playstyles (single swords, dual swords, etc.). It’s understood that the game features a massive catalog of the Wu-Tang Clan’s music, most of which has been re-imagined by producer and DJ Just Blaze for the game.

Gathered loot and items all fit into the game’s central social hub, named the ‘Neighborhood’. Here, players will be able to sell their loot, listen to music, and show off their unique fashion choices with one another.

Sources outlined that the game will be a “welcome space for all players” and will center around characters from BIPOC and historically marginalized communities.

Not a TGA reveal :

Here is the reality, for me at least. I have always wanted to dive into games like these, with good lore, nice combat and stunning graphics and characters that are just 👌. However I only was able to actually do this after genshin was released. I spent years downloading and uninstalling games because of the over- sexualized female characters and lack of any male counterparts. I realize that this is due to the "male demographic" however I feel like genshin has proved that there are a good number of people out there who want more male characters. Not just girls, but some of my gay friends absolutely simp over the guys just as a straight guy would their waifu I hoped that genshin would inspire other devs to try to include more male characters, but the only one I have seen so far is tower of fantasy. ToF doesn't have many male gacha characters, but enough to make it feel like they acknowledge there is some demand for it. As a straight female gamer, I feel like I am being restricted from the same enjoyment that others get from these types of games. Anyone else want to see more games that actually have some appeal to those attracted to guys?

To clarify, I am not talking about otome or turn based games. I am talking about specifically games that use open world elements.

(Update, changed stupid autocorrect typos.)

I just picked this up after watching video on it and holy cow- it delivers.

The action is like Thrill of the Fight mixed with Echo VR, but it goes so much beyond that. The narrative delivery and theme is awesome- the comic book / parallax effect on cutscenes is probably the best storytelling I've seen in VR. It's short and sweet and their audio track makes you feel like you're in this post-apocalyptic world they've crafted. Not to mention the way they tie your mech upgrades to the player story is just fantastic, and the upgrades feel impactful- every choice feels like it has a purpose.

Yeah, 10/10 so glad I bought it. Easily just became my #1 VR game.

edit: Grammar is hard. Too hyped to edit before posting.

Hi so I’m fairly new to the switch, I’ve been looking around the store and trying to find a good open world game with loads of combat. I prefer games in 3rd or first person combat as opposed to turn based/ strategy style games. I love a leveling system and a loot drops that you can grind for. I enjoy hunting for collectibles and something that can keep me busy for hundreds of hours(just looking for something to keep my attention for awhile and not get bored of). Thank you anyone in advance for recommendations I will list off games that I have played that are similar to what I’m looking for.

Skyrim Witcher 3 Outer worlds Borderlands 1,2,3, and presequal Assassins creed Immortals Fenix rising Sao fatal bullet/alicazation lycoris God eater 3 Zelda BOTW and TOTK Payday 2 is not open world but I enjoy the gameplay and earning $ system

"A new Dungeons & Dragons game set in the Forgotten Realms universe is coming from the creators of Disney Dreamlight Valley, publisher Gameloft has announced.
The title will be developed by Dreamlight Valley developer Gameloft Montreal, and is said to feature "unique, cooperative gameplay" that will combine elements of survival games, life-simulation titles like Dreamlight Valley, and action-RPG."

What do you guys think?

Came from Versus expecting a pretty standard JRPG experience and pacing...

...received Fast and the Furious Fantasy with set pieces that rival FF16 Eikon battles and even better.

On the last chapter and looking back on all the crazy action sequences I can believe how much of it was packed in so far. Chapter 8 alone was absolutely bonkers from start to finish. This game was 1000% more fun than I thought. I hope the pacing and level of insanity continues in expansions to the game.

The thing with FF16 is that between the incredible action there were so many slogging scenes and areas that just disjointed the pace of the game. On relink its crazy from the first big airship battle to finish, which actually feels much better. It just embraces it and says "yeah, let's be Bayonetta with final fantasy characters." It just works really well.

The Grandcypher is the real bro though, that ship gets trashed twice as hard as the Razorcrest from the Mandalorian and still keeps going. That's hard record to beat.

The genre is a favorite for me on PC but I haven't played many on the Switch. I'm going to be traveling a bit more so I figured now would be a good time to pick one up.

I enjoy character customization, flexible combat (being creative with different combos), difficult fights, and loot if it makes significant changes to play styles.

I've considered:

Monster hunter Rise/Sunbreak

Dragons Dogma

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning

But I would be open to any suggestions as I'm not sure what other food games I should be looking at.
