    Agreed. Dishonored came close, but also punished you for fighting lethally (which was 90% of your kit) so your melee options were limited to stealth finishers if you wanted the best ending. Mount & Blade was another decent try but I never loved its melee mechanics.

    Dark Messiah also had the best spiders ever. It’s been nearly twenty years and nobody’s managed to top its implementation of one of humanity’s primal fears.

      Dishonored was fun but not as visceral, also felt way too overpowered. I think I only replayed it once or twice. Mount & Blade is a real challenge but it’s clunky and has no real feedback when landing hits, you just sort of go through them or bounce off. Still, another one of my favourite games though.
