This is my gaming tastes in a nutshell. I like games that, whether in story, gameplay, or both, let you POP THE FUCK OFF. The kind of games where Super Saiyan rage is laughable compared to the shit you can do. These games capture the visceral feeling of losing your fucking mind and have fun doing it.
Without a doubt, the BEST example of this, despite sadly not getting a PC port, is Asura's Wrath.
The combat system was basic, the game had tons of QTE, but in terms of pure, undiluted RAGE, no other game could match it. Still hasn't, in my opinion.
Asura makes Vegeta seem chill and makes Kratos look like he's sleepy off lean.
So, ERA, I wanna GO APESHIT in some games, ones with PC versions. Here are games I've played that, while not on AW's level of pure fucking rageahol, allowed me to suitably feel like I was playing the berserker I wanted to play. The idea is about momentum, overwhelming impact, brutality, and often melee but not required:
Pillars of Eternity II
Tyranny (Obsidian are surprisingly good at letting you fist people into gore clouds...phrasing)
Metal Gear Rising (Especially the second half of the game)
Vanquish (GUN-BERSERKING)
Mass Effect 2/3/Andromeda [Biotic Charge is a perfect example of what I like]
Borderlands and Borderlands II [but not the Pre-Sequel, no one really matched Brick and Krieg in that game. Ironically, the Gun-Zerker also was mad lame]
Doom 2016 [Definitely the best apeshit shooter]
Serious Sam 3 [Close runner-up]
Ruiner [Kind of like Hotline Miami except without the one-hit mechanic]
Please no DBZ games. You might think they fit for this, but frankly, every DBZ game I've played has re-told the same two goddamn stories and I'm tired of it.
I can probably think of others and I'll update the list if so, but please gimme your suggestions!
