The action genre is usually one of the largest in terms of AAA titles. These tend to be multi-year six-figure games with 100+ developers working on them. These also tend to be big milestones and events in the calendar. Action games often grow and evolve with time and tend to have some of the most revolutionary changes that can re-map the landscape of the gaming industry.

Stellar Blade

Having large open maps, a lot of extra quests, fun costumes, fantastic acrobatic combat, and some great music is a great recipe for an action title. What Stellar Blade lacks in a good story it makes up for in character, attitude, and overall gameplay. The combat can be easy to learn, but difficult to master with Dark Souls like extra bosses and some incredibly precise timing needed to take down the toughest foes.
