As usual, we're keeping our definition of 'action' fairly broad, but there are a few hard and fast rules we're sticking to here. We're not including any FPS games in this list, but third-person shooters are fair game, as are action RPGs. You won't find any platformers in here, though, or any Metroidvanias, as we already have dedicated lists for bot...
You might think that Max Payne's superpower is being able to slip into slow-motion, but really it's his ability to repeatedly leap onto his sides without bruising his shoulders or jabbing the house keys in his pocket into his thigh. In any case, it's these moves combined that make Max Payne a great action game. You'll leap around corners, shift int...
Assassin's Creed had got a bit samey over the years, so when the series got a bit of a reboot with Assassin's Creed: Oranges, everyone felt invigorated. Ubisoft took the new template and improved upon it for Assassin's Creed Odyssey, the story of a lone but preternaturally badass mercenary having jollies around Ancient Greece. The ongoing AC lore a...
There are some amongst you who will dispute that Ape Out is an action game, and to those I say, "Try saying that to a gorilla punching armed guards to death!" You couldn't of course, because you'd only have time to open your mouth before it knuckled over and exploded you with its fists, too. Even if you could speak, gorillas famously do not underst...
Sega's open-world brawler RPG series about the Tokyo underworld finally branched out onto PC in 2018, and its prequel Yakuza 0 remains both the best entry in the series, and the best starting-point for wannabe crime dads. Its two protagonists Kiryu and Majima are quite different in tone and style, but they're both absolutely delightful. What good b...
On paper, this doesn't sound great. It's called Binary Domain, for starters, features a hero whose design brief was "draw a man with muscles" and attempts a misjudged voice system that sees you bellowing ignored orders at belligerent companions like an angry dog-owner in the park. But! Binary Domain might be the greatest 7/10 of all time. A 7/10 so...
We’ve written a fair bit about The Cowboy Game by now - and yet, it never gets any easier to resist the urge to open with some kind of deadpan variant on “yee haw” or the likes. In fact, we’ve only avoided succumbing to the temptation now by confessing to it instead. The reason it’s so hard not to yee or haw, of course, is that RDR2 really is as go...
Following on from the 2013 reboot, Rise Of The Tomb Raider felt like the new series of Lara Croft's ruff, tuff survival adventures really found its footing. While 2018's Shadow Of The Tomb Raider had some good puzzle-and-platforming tombs, Rise combines the traditional Croftian theft of ancient artefacts with some really splendid survival and actio...
Look, we know we said no Metroidvanias on this list, but hear us out. Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow is not what you think it is. While its name may have become entangled with Nintendo's twisty-turny space blaster series over the years, Lords of Shadow is as linear as they come. And by golly what a corker it is, too. Once again, it's a classic clash ...
Nuclear Throne is crunchier than a box of cornflakes. Nothing dies in its wasteland without going splat, no gun fires without a reverberating thud. Of all the things to praise about Vlambeer’s roguelike, the noises come out on top. There’s the twang of the crossbow, the thwump of the wrench. The deep wailing of the big robotic dog, moments before i...

- Banishers: Ghosts of the New Eden. While the main appeal of Banishers Ghosts of the New Eden is its emotional story, it’s also a highly competent action game with a combat system that’s easy to get to grips with.
- Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Slightly different than the rest of the list, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a 2.5D platforming, Metroidvania-type game that sees you, the eponymous Prince of Persia overcoming friend and foe, some friends that used to be foes, and some foes that used to be friends.
- Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. Once a legendary member of the Yakuza gang, Kazuma Kiryu abandoned everything he knew and adopted a new persona entirely to protect his family.
- Tomb Raider (2013) A gritty Lara Croft origin story that takes huge inspiration from Uncharted should have been a terrible idea, especially after the well-received (but poorly selling) Underworld, but developer Crystal Dynamics made it work.
