Every time gameranx makes a video about genius mechanics, I am legally obligated to complain about Warner Bros. patenting the Nemesis System and letting it rot.<br>Imagine how incredible RPGs would be today if developers were actually allowed to use a modernized Nemesis System

The standoff mechanic in Ghost Of Tsushima. And bonus points for terrifying enemies in your vicinity that haven't been cut to ribbons. Oh! The mikiri counter in Sekiro. One of the best combat mechanics in gaming history as far as I'm concerned

A missed opportunity to give Split Fiction a shout. That game has many dozens of cool mechanics

Well, you just got Gothic a purchase! Like, literally, as someone who hasn't played the OG Gothic, and as someone that LOVES Flame Mage in Skyrim, that's RIGHT up my alley, and I'm going ALL in for magic in Gothic.

Magic in Outward was truly well done. Its not something you just put points into, but a journey and really lore-friendly way to obtain it.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWAI-LcfsuA&t=800">13:20</a> Absolutely solid reference! Calling out House for the unprecedented about of B&E, that nobody talks about for some reason.
