10 Most Satisfying Video Game Enemies To Kill

For most of the Gears of War franchise, the primary antagonists have been the Locust Horde and their successors the Swarm, who while presenting a considerable threat to the player throughout the series can also be taken down a number of gratifyingly savage ways.

Across the series there are a frankly absurd number of executions allowing players to stylishly take their alien adversaries down: curb-stomping their face into the floor, splitting them down the middle with the Lancer's chainsaw bayonet, decapitating them with a Torque Bow, beating them to death with their own arm, punching their face into a bloody mist, shooting fire into their body, and so on. You get the idea.

What differentiates Gears from a lot of other games is that the enemies aren't mere inconvenient mooks - they're actually tough, capable combatants on even lower difficulties and can easily overwhelm you if you let them.

And so, getting the opportunity to emerge from cover and so thoroughly destroy an enemy like this sure is satisfying.
