Action games (ACT) are one of the most popular genres of games, thanks to their smooth combat experience, rich moves selection and gorgeous skill effects. While pure ACT games are not very common these days, there are still many excellent titles that offer rich action systems. In this blog, I will recommend ten action games on Steam that are worth playing. If you have any other favorites that I missed, feel free to share them in the comments section.
Devil May Cry 5
Steam rating: 95%
The Devil May Cry series is a signature of Capcom, the god of action games, and also one of the four ancient ACT games that have been highly praised by players for a long time. You can see how popular this game is by looking at the daily activities in the big sick area. Devil May Cry 5 features four playable characters, each with a unique combat logic and combo system, ensuring that players need to adapt for a long time after switching characters. It is quite challenging to pull off gorgeous combos, but once you get the hang of it, you will feel a sense of accomplishment that is unmatched by other games of the same type. The four different combat styles of the characters will refresh your understanding of action games. The dazzling air combat combos and the constantly rising ratings on the screen will keep you pumped up with adrenaline. If you are looking for a difficult and rewarding game, you can’t miss this masterpiece.
NieR: Automata
Steam rating: 86%
Please deduct one point if you play this game with automatic combat mode. Platinum Studio’s signature ACT game is Bayonetta, but Steam players can only play the first generation with slightly outdated graphics, so I have to recommend another one: NieR: Automata. This game attracted countless players with its dynamic combat process and story created by Venus before Miss 2B became a pillar on a certain site. You can switch between near and far attacks freely, face hordes of enemies and extremely challenging bosses, and enjoy the protagonist’s smooth actions and gorgeous appearance. You will also be immersed in the story created by Yoko Taro, as the entanglement between human-shaped robots, armies and mechanical life forms unfolds before your eyes. As the story progresses, a more shocking truth gradually emerges. If you like action games with exhilarating fights and also love deep stories, this game is perfect for you.
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
New Product Festival First Launch 10% Off
This is an action game with a dark Three Kingdoms theme created by Ninja Team after the success of the highly acclaimed NIOH series. This game has a refreshing action gameplay and also a not losing depth system that is very friendly to new players who enter the pit of action games. The five-star plus points system not only changes specific attributes for each line, but also increases health value and improves fault tolerance rate. The boss’s red light flashing prompt also greatly increases the player’s success rate of resolving attacks. The upgradeable weapons and equipment system, the setting that can increase morale by inserting flags, and the moderately difficult level design all greatly reduce the difficulty of operation for players during the game process. It is very suitable for novice players who want to try hardcore action games but are worried about the difficulty being too high. But players who want to increase the difficulty can also challenge more hardcore battles in two-week ranches. The optimization problem of this game’s PC version was finally fixed on March 8th. The experience of keyboard and mouse operation perspective has been greatly improved. Flashing white screens and game crashes that frequently occur on PC platforms have also been basically resolved. Players can consider whether to start after updating everyone’s evaluation.
God of War
Steam rating: 97%
Most players think of God of War as the PS platform’s old God of War trilogy, but the new God of War that came to PC in the next generation still has a very powerful action system. The dual weapon system of Leviathan Axe and THE BLADES OF CHAOS will bring you a new gaming experience. You will explore a new world from Olympus’ magnificent marble carvings and stone pillars to Nordic pre-Viking era forests, mountains and cave creatures, monsters and even gods. Our God of War also changed his former arrogance and unrulyness and embarked on the task of educating his son. If you can accept the new God of War with shoulder perspective, you will have a lot of fun playing this game.
Hi-Fi Rush
Steam rating: 98%
This is a very surprising action game in 2023. You may be exhausted by the sound waves and crowded crowds at music festivals, but in Hi-Fi Rush, the worst thing that can happen is that you are still dancing in your dreams even if you are a music game idiot. But in this game, you can still rely on your own understanding of action games to enjoy a smooth and rhythmic battle. In addition to the unique combat system, the super-kill original dubbing will also awaken the beast in your heart. Go wild with the super-strong golden song. Try to challenge the coveted S-level evaluation after you can follow the rhythm and hit the gorgeous beat, hit and display powerful special abilities. This game is still participating in the Three Kingdoms New Product Festival. You can enjoy a 10% discount with coupons. If you want to start, you may want to take this opportunity.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
Steam rating: 94%
The winner of the 2019 TGA Game of the Year Award, Sekiro, deserves this honor. It does not stick to the Dark Souls, which has been recognized by players, but actively breaks the tradition and creates a new combat system around forging iron, so that the sound of ding-dong in your brain is endless for a while. In addition to the fast-paced combat style, Sekiro also added a ninja hand system to help you better challenge those tricky bosses. The integration of seeing through and blocking will become a sharp blade in your hands. I don’t think this game needs much introduction. This game is definitely a masterpiece for players who like action games.
Darksiders III
Steam rating: 76%
After three generations of changes, it has changed from the original combat puzzle game to a malicious soul-like style. Although the former unparalleled style is gone forever, Darksiders III still captures many players’ hearts with its rich map design and simplified collection elements and combat system. As the most unpredictable Fury among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, you will return to the human world of disaster and make efforts to rebalance the forces of all parties. It is a pity that this generation of knights does not have their own love horses, but turning into Tarzan in the human world that has been ravaged and exploring freely is also a kind of fun. It was previously rumored that Darksiders IV is under development. I wonder if it can satisfy most players this time?
Monster Hunter Rise
Steam rating: 86%
Although there is a more high-definition Monster Hunter World on PC, Rise’s new flying insect system is really too easy to use, so that after trying out the extremely convenient ending, looking back at World is somewhat simple. But if you are a graphics party, World’s priority is still very high. After all, it can be said to be the best-looking work in the Monster Hunter series. Relying on the flying insect system, it extends out extremely powerful flying insect skills, which makes every weapon can be used crazy GP come greatly enhance effective output time. And you can freely switch insect skills style will also increase your bottom card when countermeasures. It is said that the next Monster Hunter will continue World’s high-definition and add more interesting systems based on this. It belongs to expectation value max.
Batman: Arkham Knight
Steam rating: 89%
As a representative of European and American action games, it currently sells at a very low price and relies on its excellent graphics performance and smooth combo system to make many high-production-cost games that sell for two or three hundred yuan look inferior. As the finale of the Batman trilogy, this game is also a perfect work that stimulates Unreal Engine 3’s potential. The newly added Batmobile system and combined with Arkham series’ widely acclaimed gameplay will allow you to enjoy punishing evil and promoting good in Gotham City. But I have to say that Riddler, you really deserve to die.
Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection
Steam rating: 81%
The Ninja Gaiden series can probably be regarded as an indispensable classic in the history of action games. Producer Tomonobu Itagaki restarted Ninja Gaiden, making countless players addicted to bloody violence in beautiful aesthetic scenes. At the same time, Ninja Gaiden II’s limb-breaking power storage soul-sucking system was added, which also made this series’ refreshing degree rise by one level. However, as an existence like a giant in action games, Ninja Gaiden GTC port version performance can only be said to be barely satisfactory. Many systems now look a bit outdated, but its solid feel is indeed worth trying for players.
These are ten action games on Steam that are worth playing. Due to limited time, I can’t introduce you to other excellent action games such as NIOH series, For Honor, Hades, etc. Of course, according to European and American manufacturers’ standards, many excellent FPS games are classified as action games. If you have any recommended works, please feel free to recommend them to other players in the comments section.
