Action games are about pressure. Something is chasing you, a timer is running down, or an enemy is winding up an attack, and you have to decide what to do in the next half second. Good action games keep that pressure fair: you always lose because of a decision you can identify, not because the game cheated.
Our action catalogue covers melee combat, wave survival, boss fights, stealth and physics brawlers. Controls range from a single button to full WASD-and-mouse setups, and the game page for each title lists exactly what you need before you start.
