Gorn is beautiful in its ability to be fluid and engrossing. It's a VR game, so all the combat is reliant on you. It can be the most fun, or the most boring, hand-to-hand combat simulator you've ever played.

Out of VR, the new Spiderman game feels amazing to play with. Beating the crap out of mooks is sooooooo good.

i should also throw in the yakuza series; the combat in that is just over the top fun. and theres alot of side stuff to do but nothings quite as fun as smashing a gangsters head into a parked car.

Ah yes, the insatiable lust of corn and rice, clearly two of the most erotic foods.

I would surprisingly also put Dynasty Warriors 3+Extreme Legends up here.

Certainly not for the "best", but it was a very satisfying game. Archers were lethal as F*ck, draw distance was 20' ahead of you, you basically infinite juggled commanders into having a vague chance of popping out a random weapon drop that was better than the 5* weapon, you destroyed every mook with the press of a musou button, but somehow it was fun. It felt fast and fluid.

It was horrible in so many ways, but it was good as a co-op split-screen game. Also incidentally where I got my internet handle from, playing it way too much with a mate while getting drunk. Sambojin! Raaaarrrrggghhh!

(I don't know how drunk we were, but crank up the difficulty to max, and damn those archers could slaughter you on the hardest missions. It was just a "kill them first" thing, but you really did have to do that quickly. Or off-screen, outside of draw distance pew-pew would stun-lock juggle-damage the hell out of you)

Hammerfight!
Seconded! Except it's not 3D. :(

Aka "The history of Hammerfight", previously known as "Hammerfall", in my opinion it's got more satisfying melee combat than any games featuring actual melee combat. Either dual-wielding locked swords against a horde of exploding wasps and horrors, or swinging a rock on a chain and smacking the other guy across the arena and halfway into a brick wall, that game's combat is tremendously enjoyable. :)

But, as mentioned, not 3D, unfortunately. I don't know if a game like that would ever work in 3D at all...

Guild Wars 2, personally fave. Dragon Nest, Black Desert and Blade&Soul are good too.
