I'm excited for this one specifically because I remember playing the 2007 TMNT game on my ps3 and having a blast while playing it with my cousin + plus the game came out the same time as the movie for it and it was absolute kino especially Leo vs Raph fight. Ever since then there hasn't been a good TMNT game to come out of the woodworks


Legit I was scared that the new game might never release and be stuck in development hell ever since they released the reveal trailer in 2023 and they have been radio silent about it

plus the comic for the last ronin is absolute cinema highly recommend it

The newish 2d beat-em-up was good.

I’m also excited for the Last Ronin. The comic is so good.
 
As is Splintered Fate, the roguelike ARPG.

Back on the topic of Character Action, has anyone else here played the surprisingly good The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie’s Revenge?
I haven't played it but I heard a lot of people praise it I might try it someday but man I miss when game companies used to make good licensed games especially that one ghost rider game

It’s seriously excellent, and the PS2 version looks insane on PCSX2 when you increase the internal resolution. I have heard the Xbox version’s controller timings are fucked-up, but the PS2 release is as tight as Devil May Cry.
 
DMC 1&3 are both amazing, but I haven't played 4 and 5 yet. Darksiders 1 is also really good, but I haven't played anything past that one yet.
I feel like 1 hasn’t really aged as well as 3. I get that it’s the first of its kind, but a lot of stuff feels awkward compared to what came after. You really see how the thing began as a RE4 prototype imo.
 
The camera in 1 sucks and it doesn't have air combos yet but in many ways 1 is still my favorite because every aspect of its design is so thoroughly well thought out. Kamiya's games are just next level.

I like 3 and 4 but really Bayonetta is my preferred action game of choice.
