Current Events > games where the combat felt unnecessary

(+) Yeah! (+)

or at least, they had more combat than "felt right"

I mean, like, the only real reason why the game had combat sections was because it was a game.

IMO, Deadly Premonition and Death Stranding.

for each game, I felt there were combat sections that were justified, but they ended up feeling overdone.

battle chess?

Stardew Valley

bump

Idk, Okami?

There was a crap segment in Escape From Monkey Island involving monkey combat

Edit: Ico is a good one. That game was about puzzle solving. Every time those shadow monsters popped up it just kinda felt like padding.

Deus Ex Human Revolution

Stealth is the way to play that game imo, actual combat sucks ass

Final Fantasy XV

---

Ori and the Blind Forest

---

Bioshock Infinite

---

When turn-based strategies have an auto-battle option it's like why bother wasting time doing it yourself?

---

Most 3D platformers

---

The combat in Mirror's Edge was a detriment to the game
---

ICO is the correct answer.

---

LA Noire honestly would have been fine without

Yea the only game that came to mind was deathstranding.

The controls were made for a hiking sim, trying to do gun battles while holding L2 and R2 to regain balance from tripping while accidentally shooting your gun from pressing R2 when your trying to be stealthy was cumbersome and stupid.

That whole game in retrospect was awful and the boss battles annoying due solely to the slapped on gun gameplay.

Okami minus special fights.
ICO was 25/75. Fights where you had to keep the girl away were fine, though frustrating.
SM64 and almost every similar collectathon also had q lot of pointless filler enemies, especially DK64.
