Not that old, but Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (2004).
I have not played that many games, but I have yet to find such an amazing action adventure combat mechanics.
There is a trailer on Youtube that does the system justice - everything can be done in-game, at your will, and it’s not even that hard. Context matters, and it’s so rewarding chaining different combos to plow through them like butter.
Those basic enemies are meant to be fucked up in every possible way, the environments often provide ample varieties of opportunities.
Then there are stronger enemies and bosses, which don’t let you mop them around, so you have to fight them face to face.
The game itself is decent, there are some bad platforming parts, but thanks to time rewind they can be beaten.
The biggest issue is very low native resolution, and the game kept crashing on my Steam Deck. I will try it again, because I want to relive that combat again.
All three Prince of Persia games in this trilogy: The Sands of Time, Warrior Within, and The Two Thrones are some of my fondest memories with my original Xbox. Amazing games and I finished all three, but I’ve never been able to get into another PoP title since.
120 hours in and I’m still playing Kingdom Come Deliverance. I think I like it much better than Skyrim. The only thing I don’t like about it is the missing crosshair for bows, but a simple console command fixes that for me. I’ve not yet completed the main quest lol and there are still plenty of side quests to finish. It’s crazy how the studio pushed CryEngine of all things into this interesting RPG. Puts Bethesda to shame honestly.
Yes it is. It even has schedules for NPCs, activities to do, people reacting to your clothes or cleanliness, your hunger level or sleepiness, day night cycle, an interesting fast travel mechanism.
Just keep in mind that it is supposed to be difficult in the first few hours. But as you skill it starts getting easier to the point that you’re walking killing machine that can unlock any lock, speech check almost anything and buy the best gear.
