Most underrated melee combat EVER. This game NEEDS a PC release badly. Bungie should go back to it at some point - the retrofuturistic Ghost in the Shell-esque cyberpunk aesthetic is more alive than ever, so I honestly believe this would make WAVES nowdays.

I first encountered this game years ago when it was bundled as a demo with a gaming magazine. I remember being immediately hooked by its engaging mechanics and surprisingly immersive world. Not sure if this would be playable today, but would love to add it ti my collection.
It is hard to express how deeply I love the game. It is best of a class story-driven 3rd person beat 'em up game with shooting and stealth elements of its time! I'm huge fan of its music, visual style, cyberpunk setting and THE story. Not to mention that Oni together with Shogo definitely helped to raise anime popularity, which was not that mainstream back then. I would love to have it in my collection.
I already wrote a message long ago but I'll write another one! I still have my old PC CD-ROM copy and I still play it 24 years later! It's such a unique and fun game that I wish more people could have the opportunity to play! Believe it or not, there's still an Oni community out there keeping the game and the dream, alive!

This game made my childhood. My father initially told me about Oni. I remember playing it a lot, so much so that I finished it over 50 times, without exaggeration. I first started playing Oni on the PS2, and I was very used to the controls. After years of hiatus, I bought my second PC, a weak one, with a GPU-GT710 and an old-fashioned Intel Pentium. After that, I started playing again, hundreds of other memories on that PC. Then I tried the modes provided in AE (Anniversary Edition), being designed by the Oni community, which I respect enormously. This PC died out in 2022, when I took advantage of the situation and started saving money for a powerful PC. I found the necessary components (an I5 12400F and RTX 3060 with 12VRAM) for me it was more than enough, and on January 31, 2023, I built my first mid-range PC. 2023-2024 were the years in which I played Oni the most. I had finished the game over 20 times with or without mods, trying to post on my YouTube channel. This thing motivated me to continue with a Speedrun, but I got stuck every time at Level 5, at the skip with the Screaming Cannon. So, Oni will remain in my soul, and that of many veteran players, I'm sure it revolutionized the vision of gaming in the 2000s in some way.

It is hard to think that this game came out from the same Halo studio. I remember tryharding this game trying to do new combos... the combat system was really great, something new in these years. The music was nice and the anime touch was something refreshing back there.

This game is such a product of it's time, doing its absolute best to mimic anime trends of the late 90s with Ghost in the Shell being the obvious primary source of inspiration. I also remember that the combat system was incredibly satisfying, especially grabs and the like, lots of intricate animations that made use of the simple 3D models well. It's a real shame that this series never went anywhere, it's got that amazing early 2000s vibe.

Drakengard 3
Drakengard 3Drakengard 3 transports players to a medieval world where six goddess-like sisters known as "Intoners" have brought peace to the earth with their power to manipulate magic through song. Harmony is disrupted, however, when the eldest sister, Zero, attempts to murder her younger sisters with the help of her dragon companion, Mikhail. As the story progresses, players find themselves in a battle to unravel the mystery of Zero and learn her true intentions. A prequel to the original Drakengard, Drakengard 3 features the series’ signature brand of action, pitting players against hordes of fiends and foes in remorseless hack-and-slash ground combat, and then sending them soaring for pitched aerial battles on the back of the dragon Mikhail.

Drakengard
DrakengardDrakengard follows the story of a kingdomless prince named Caim who fights for the Union against the Empire. Under the Union's protection are the Hierarchs and the Goddess, currently Caim's sister Furiae, who is a human manifestation of one of the four seals that protect the world from being broken. As the game begins, Cain is fatally wounded in a battle with the Empire. Encountering a captured Red Dragon who is also near death, Caim makes a fateful choice. In exchange for both their lives, the Red Dragon and Caim will enter a pact. This pact will forever chain their lives to one another and link their souls, at the cost of something irreplaceable. Recharged with the fires of a Dragon, Caim's vengeance burns over the enemy... The player controls Caim on his quest. The game is separated into three distinct modes: Aerial combat, Ground combat and Event Combat. In Aerial Combat, Caim rides dragonback against a variety of airborne foes breathing fireballs (strong single shots and weaker multiple lock-on shots). The Dragon is agile and is able to evade incoming threats, turning around completely in a moment. In Ground combat, the game is shown in 3rd person though usually large, open areas. Controlling Caim, his primary ability is the use of a variety of weapons found on the battlefield. These are leveled up through continued usage, and specifically through the killing of individual enemies. Though magic (determined by weapon choice), timed attacks and evasion, Caim breaks through enemy armies. Characters recruited as allies by Caim can also be summoned during battles, steadily losing health until control is returned to Caim. In ground combat, Caim may also call forth his Dragon to ride and strafe enemies from the air. The Dragon's movements are generally the same as in aerial combat but more limited and less agile. Event combat is similar to Ground combat, but shown isometrically, restricted to a single weapon and without the aid of a dragon. It is used mainly to tell story sequences. Levels that have been visited before might become "Expedition Missions" which are optional and contain new objectives, enemies and weapons. Additionally, any level previously played in the storyline may be revisited at any time. Depending on Caim's choices (and prerequisites for those choices), there are five different endings to Drakengard.
