Bayonetta 1 & 2 pushed the genre to its true zenith.

Lateness awaits!

Metal Gear Rising and Sengoku Basara 3: Utage

I wanted to like Bayo 1, but the instant death QTEs, the boss battles outside the fights with Jeanne that devolved into shytty platforming affairs, and the genre changes that overstayed their welcome ruined it for me.

 

[be back in a bit]

Bayonetta is the best, and I ain't sayin no mo.

Bayonetta for me. Honorable mentions from back in the day.

Dreamcast version

PS2 version

Ninja Gaiden 2 and MGR from what I've played.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 was the censored version of the OG game. Removed the blood and gore and replaced it with majestic color fumes and mist

I'm shocked a lot of people voted Gow3. That game was fukking crazy as a "game" overall but pure hack and slash wise?? It's pretty meh compared to Bayonetta imo.

Bloodborne

Was going to mention this too, albeit it's not exactly one in the same. Closest we got tho.

None of these games other than MGR truly redefines what it really means to 'hack' and 'slash'.

Ninja Gaiden 2 is where MGR got the dismemberment gameplay from breh

I feel like it's an action game at it's core after digging into it heavy. You just level stuff up like you would in an RPG. All of these games mentioned in this thread have some kind of leveling up system tho, it's just Bloodborne's more like an RPG while the other games aren't.

Main difference I see tho is the stamina gauge, which limits you from endless attacks n combos and that it's play mechanics such as that and in general, are a bit more based in realism, as far as what your character can do that is.
