Ranking Summer 2016's Video Games From Worst To Best

4. Furi

Do you like brutally hard video games? I'm talking the sorts of things like Dark Souls, Super Meat Boy and the delightfully hard-edged Nioh? Good, because Furi will test your patience and hand-eye coordination more than all three combined.

Being a glorious blend of Devil May Cry hack n' slashery, screens-worth of projectiles to dodge every few minutes and the frequent switch into a side-on, fighting game-style camera for the close of each battle, Furi is the story of one warrior battling his way through ten bosses, with only a slick synthwave soundtrack and bouts of walking in between to break them up.

Each boss has patterns to learn, attacks to dodge and weak spots to identify. They're all memorable as hell, but the real meat of Furi is learning to bust out your anonymous character's set of abilities as if they were your own.

Once you've become symbiotically linked to that blade in the above image, then the really intense battles begin, and I've never had a game route me to the spot for hours of eye-straining concentration in quite some time.
