15 Overlooked PS4 & Xbox Games You Need To Stop Ignoring

9. Nidhogg 1 & 2

If Gang Beasts is the best group multiplayer of them all, Nidhogg is all you need when going one on one.

Its deceptively deep "fencing sim" setup is most primitive in the original, where two clumps of pixels tore each other a new one with one blade and a series of kicks and neck-snaps each.

For the sequel, that repertoire is expanded. You now have long and short swords, a bow n' arrow, and a small dagger. Reach and positioning is everything as you attempt to fell your opponent and make a sprint for the finish line, located many screens over.

Your adversary will respawn and the fight will go back and forth, but every time you start getting better - start leading with a flying kick, thrown weapon, ground roll or tactical dodge. It's outpacing your opponent in the most direct way, and developers Messhof have nailed this idea two times in a row.
