There are twelve symmetrical maps, each with its unique way of splashing buckets of paint. What might seem simple and fun soon becomes a complex painting of a warzone. You can choose turf war painting or rainmaker in a 4vs4 player combat.

Bayonetta 2

Bayonetta 2 is a fast-paced, free-flowing action-packed game to experience. Take the role of a sassy woman and defeat enemies with style and grace. Her actions are sometimes sexually appealing but not too much to stray from character. The game is much more of an adrenaline rush with its 60 fps animations.
The game is full of glazing fights and over-the-top combat that will keep you on edge. Regardless, the game is not overdone besides its quirky dialogues. Every punch, kick, and weapon swing just feels satisfying when it’s done right.
You will be kicking enemies from left to right with smashing combos and summoning demons to attack. It’s just the right game for hardcore players but also welcomes newcomers.
I was blowing my steam throughout ten hours of combat, and it felt amazing to mix and match combos. Before I knew it, enemies were dancing to the moves of my weapons.
Super Smash Bros.

It’s a completely chaotic game with beautifully crafted and finely balanced action. Each character has their personality tracking fighter moves and actions down to history. You can play iconic Nintendo characters such as Mario, sonic, link, pacman, and many more.
Battling against eight players in a match is ridiculous but also very intense. You can also plate 2vs2 with friends online. Its fighting mechanic is easy to pick up but hard to master.

The Legend of Zelda Breath Of The Wild

The first time Legend of Zelda made a real open-world game and it sure is breathtaking. You can reach as far as your eyes can see. A truly open-world game with no invisible wall blocking your path or any level cap.
Once we finish with The Great Plateau, we can explore the vast wilderness or run straight to the boss, although I would not recommend the second.
Breath of the wild had me hundreds of hours playing my way to unravel secret locations, scratching my curiosity to the end, and this game has never failed to amaze me.
From the Grassy lands of Hyrule planes to the volcanic locations of Goron city, there’s always something around the corner to explore, and that’s what I love the most about Breath of the wild.
You also have various creative ways to encounter enemies. You can run straight into their camp and start battling, or you can sneak attack at night while they are sleeping, or you can throw bombs from far.
There are so many ways, and the Zelda community still uncovers many hidden tips and tricks; it’s astounding. I never knew that could happen, or you could have elemental damage. So many subtle game designs that make Zelda a really fun experience.
