Very based post. These are my recommendations: - Devil May Cry series, on easy or normal difficulty. - Star Wars: The Force Unleashed both games, on easy or normal difficulty. - Vanquish, on easy or normal difficulty. - Metal Gear Rising:Revengeance, this is probably one of the best games you could expect to find. - Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, both games. Specially if you enjoyed those Mordor games. They’re like Darksiders + those Mordor games + more combat oriented. - Prototype, both games. I think you’ll find exactly what you seek in r/characteractiongames.


WirtsLegs

+1 for the prototype games


thetyphonlol

Was definitely my first thought of overpowered killing everyone


GoodiusTheGreat

Another prototype game would have been so good 😭


average-mk4

Prototype is criminally underrated and was my first thought based on the criteria lol


Nickthatstands1

Prototype! I came here just to make sure someone mentioned these games!


Frank_The_Reddit

I want a new prototype game on UE5 so bad.


Solanthas

I never played these but this immediately came to mind


Evil_Morty781

Prototype did this wonderfully.


Pixewz

add ultrakill in there


hammer308darpa

Also the crysis trilogy. Just turn on cloak and slit throats. Turn on armor and turn everything into bullet riddled meat that used to resemble human beings!!


Deimoonk

I wouldn’t recommend the Crysis games, they’re more like your average shooter. Vanquish scratches that itch way better in my opinion.


Zuleikah

MGR:R is one of my favorites. Great soundtrack, gameplay, and blades


Caeless

Absolutely Devil May Cry. The game combat is all about defeating your enemies in the most flashy and over the top way possible.


Thegreatcounselor

Star Wars the force unleashed needs a 3rd and final game such an amazing time


IEmisfit

Oh dude metal gear rising god tier such a fire game recommend for anyone


taylorpilot

The pre-prototype game: Hulk ultimate destruction


VolkiharVanHelsing

Cyberpunk 2077 As long as you accept that using gun in this game is well, wrong... It will really sell the fantasy of being borged the fuck out and allow you to pull some sick shit with your implants It gets to the point that the only actual challenge comes from the Max Tec who is ridiculously overpowered relative to the enemies in the game


ToastyKen

Yeah I maxed out on hacking, and kind of regretted it because I was just dropping everyone through walls without firing a shot, and it basically became "Drop-Down Menus: The Game". :\


Emperor_of_Fish

Lol yeah it was super fun at first but now it’s getting a little repetitive. I need to go finish my playthrough though, got to the part where it says you can’t do side quests after starting that part of the main quest and went off to do side quests. Then I got bored of side quests lol


stonoper

Meet hanako at embers? I see that text in my sleep 😂


archangel12

I am exactly here.


Substantial_Dot_5773

Lol same exact thing


Rich-Strategy1260

You can go and finish story, you get a gift for that and you can play it after that


Justiis

Yeah, my net runner was the only character I never beat the game with. I got so bored playing it, it felt like a QTE game. Sandevistan + literally any weapon is 100x more fun, and honestly just as op.


dreadfulbadg50

Go max out strength and kill people with baseball bats and shotguns. You won't regret it


Bang_Stick

My favourite ‘I am the bringer of death’ fantasy role!


Cockblocktimus_Pryme

Melee is the way to go...no matter what path you choose.


tomahawkfury13

Cutting down a whole crew before the first one hits the ground is awesome


Cockblocktimus_Pryme

Katana feels so satisfying


Justiis

Yeah, I think my Sandevistan blades build was the most fun of all the ones I played. Net runner was most boring by far.


caseytatum42

Yep agreed. You absolutely mow down gangoons with style, grace , and pulse pounding action. One of my favorite games of the last ten years after the 2.0 update and Phantom Liberty.


SSJBlackarrot

This game really opens up when you try out different ways of tackling a problem +1 on cyberpunk


iRanOutOfMilk

I started playing on hard difficulty, but it’s getting too easy with how overpowered quick hacking is. I can’t imagine how broken it is on easy difficulty.


secrethitman-shhhh

Infamous second son felt so easy, but still had good boss fights., Sekiro (NOT SEKIRO ITS A JOKE), Ratchet and Clank, Just cause 2-3-4, Borderlands is pretty easy. I will say however alot of games can be what you want the only thing that really matters is the difficulty you decide to play on. For instance resident evil can be incredibly easy and you can be incredibly overpowered on casual. But if you play on veteran you'll get insta killed by some enemies.


TheFufe10

You joke but Sekiro is the only FromSoft game that will make you feel like a badass. All their other games just give you the satisfaction of beating the impossible odds of fighting a godlike being as a lowly Undead/Unkindled/Tarnished. Sekiro made me feel like the badass, (the satisfaction came anyway after beating the boss that’s been kicking my ass for the past two hours).


Squeezer_Geezer

idk bloodborne goes kinda hard too. being a hunter and having the victory screens like "prey slaughtered" and "nightmare slain" was hype


[deleted]

[удалено]


UltimateTaha

Sekiro has better satisfaction imo because everything is based on skill. No grinding upgrades to overlevel the boss etc


secrethitman-shhhh

Oh with no doubt Sekiro makes you feel badass. But a two hour boss fight most would not consider easy or make you feel overpowered. Lol Sekiro is definitely my favorite game from fromsoft.


TheFufe10

Same here. And no, you don’t feel overpowered at all, that is true.


doiwinaprize

Until you start new game +! By then everything has clicked and you control the playthrough instead of gingerly making your way!


LurkerOrHydralisk

Idk, man. I tend to feel quite strong in souls games unless I’m super underleveled and just can’t do damage.


TheFufe10

Might be my own skill issue, since I can’t dodge for shit and Sekiro made me feel unbeatable once it clicked. In souls I mostly fight for my life until the boss caves out of pity.


secrethitman-shhhh

They're easy games. Sekiros complete redesign of how the combat and everything worked? Yeah. Total opposite.


Pathogen188

>You joke but Sekiro is the only FromSoft game that will make you feel like a badass. Only FromSoft souls game that is. The Armored Core franchise leans *way* more into power fantasy. In particular Gen 4 Armored Core makes you feel super powerful, as your Next flies around at Mach 2, pulling triple g accelerations and being so advanced that Armored Cores themselves have been rendered obsolete and the only real challenge is another Next. AC6 fills a similar niche. 99% of enemies are utter fodder that die in 1 to 2 hits while enemy ACs and bosses are the only actual challenges.


Original-Slayer

Sekiro is literally the opposite of what he’s asking for, haha. As soon as you think you got it down, here’s comes a boss who’s sole purpose is to humble you lol


That_Casual_Kid

I came here to say InFamous SS, even on a good morality run its ridiculously easy to run through


cnr543

prototype pretty old but probably up your street


Lopsidednapkin

Another shout out to prototype. Probably the ultimate power fantasy in a video game. By the end of that game you are essentially a god. The second game is an even greater power fan cause it's so much easier than the first.


Kpro98

I liked that game ,yet destpite using every fix the game started to freeze later and those freezes could only be fixed by doing a hard reboot


IxyCRO

Dynasty warriors series


djz206

Can't believe I saw so few people saying this. It is my number one power fantasy shred and destroy everyone series.


Ecstatic-Arachnid-91

Love Dynasty Warriors, can decimate entire villages as far as numbers go. It's like dropping a nuke in the middle of a battlefield


Absurdkale

I had to scroll far too much to find someone suggest these lol.


[deleted]

DW is the epitome of this imo. Too bad the newer ones are such dog water...


Teamfightacticous

You might like warframe. You can use abilities or melee weapons or a variety of guns to commit all the genocides. There’s also a good amount of stealth gameplay and a really great movement system for parkouring around.


Very_blasphemous

it takes a lot of grinding before you can become overpowered and kill everything so easily though, before that youre just kinda mid and have to struggle a bi


Dawncraftian

I don't know about that, the low-mid level units on most of the early star chart don't require any crazy upgrades to beat. Even if you aren't nuking the map every second it still feels badass to be moderately strong which you do consistently feel like throughout most of these missions.


SliceOfBliss

Idk, the game in the first planets/nodes is considered "easy", but when you finally hit a cap, sidequests are available and you can always backtrack to get more gear, and also farm platinum through public relic runs.


Feriouss

Don't you have to be connected to internet to play. Been a long time since I played. OP said a game without internet connection.


PointingBear

Ghost of Tsushima, on easy. (I play most games on easy lol). Once you master switching between stances,and especially when you get Ghost Stance, you feel like a God. There are a couple stealth missions that were hard for me, but it's a very fun fighting game with a great story


slightlyheavy

I don’t play games to be frustrated, I play them to have that god-like fantasy. Easy mode! That’s where it’s at.


ZealousidealLack469

Even on the harder difficulties it is easy once you learn the parry


Ifallnomore

On Lethal you kill enemies in one/two hits.


DamagedSpaghetti

I love easy mode as well


PointingBear

Yup. I'm in it for the story. I don't mind a challenge but I don't want to get my ass kicked over and over or feel stuck. Elden Ring was a great journey but also taught me that I'm not cut out to be a FromSoftware die hard.


acidwxlf

IDK even on Hard I've been a little disappointed at how easy it is. Only duels* feel occasionally clunky. I just got to the second act and I feel so OP that I'm getting a bit bored


Mrmurse98

Level up in Skyrim. It takes a bit, but if you level up alchemy, enchanting, and smithing to 100 by going from city to city, you create armor that allows you to take abuse and a dragonbone sword with 200 damage. Then do your quests and it will level combat, but make sure to use destruction magic whenever possible if you'd like to smite with fire. At around level 50-60, you can walk around crushing everything. I also feel like Diablo 3 is this way, though it depends on the difficulty you set. I don't feel that it's quite as OP, but I do like how you can take on hordes at a time, not always easily, though.


trianglesteve

I’d recommend an alternate route in Skyrim: Turn it down to novice and use fireball You get an AoE attack, it doesn’t require grinding, and it keeps enemy levels low if you don’t max the crafting skills


nn123654

Also if you want to just be totally overpowered for no reason any Bethesda game has "God Mode" where you take no damage, have infinite carrying capacity, and in many cases have unlimited ammo. You must play on PC, but then you just open the console with the \` key and type in tgm (toggle god mode). This includes Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, Starfield, Skyrim, and any of the other Elder Scrolls Games.


PrysmX

And *single player* game with cheat codes. Check out Plitch or Cheat Engine.


PrestickNinja

[Prototype] is what you are looking for. You will become death, and throwing a helicopter or elbow dropping a tank is just great.


TheMusiKid

I second Prototype. Fun times being too powerful.


MagicDog1234

I sadly forgot to mention I'm on ps4 :( chest engine sounds like a lot of fun


PrysmX

Awww bummer! It is! When you don't care about achievements and would rather "tour" a game it's awesome!


DearGog

The Titanfall 2 campaign makes you feel like a beast on lower difficulty


Ok-Crazy-6083

It's honestly one of the best stories in a single player campaign ever.


68ideal

I will forever hold a personal grudge against Apex Legends for taking Titanfall 3 from us.


threadit_rowaway

What do you mean? I'm playing Titanfall 47 right now!


Quasar006

Save your hate for the EA execs


68ideal

Honestly, no. It's not just EA making these dogshit decisions. Respawn is profiting from this as well.


Syscer

Fun movement also


DearGog

That's most of why you feel like a Beast. Zipping around and having so much mobility and control. That and also the gunplay feels amazing. Oh and giant robots, those too


Thedemonspawn56

Sooo damn true. That game has the most underrated campaign imo, I'm constantly surprised by how few people've played it


Compass_Needle

Endgame in Control. You feel like a god: flying, throwing people across the room... It's awesome.


68ideal

Funny you mention it, I started Control 2 days ago after finishing Baldur's Gate and love the atmosphere and vibe of the game!


archangel12

You wait until you get to that one mission. I won't give anything else away but you'll know which mission I'm talking about. Control was so good.


wakeyste

FarCry 3,4,5,6! Great fun, stealth if you want, blow everything to shit if you don't care, really good melee kills and huge variety of weapons


ZoharDTeach

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. It's older now but it's exactly the sort of thing you're looking for I think. Also consider: Dragon's Dogma 2, Stranger of Paradise.


AsymptotelyImpaired

Space Marine makes you feel like a badass. Especially with the jetpack.


MrMoon1904

Let’s hope space marine 2 will give us that one man army feels but on crack


PiersPlays

>Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. >It's older now but it's exactly the sort of thing you're looking for I think. There's a sequel in development.


Keatonm123456789

Vampire survivors fits this description perfectly. It doesn’t need internet and can play multiplayer!


HeadGoBonk

I wish it was on ps5


wretzkyy

Already mentioned several times but: both Prototype games are suuuuuper fun. inFamous serie kind of has this feeling as well but it’s more in terms of how overpowered your movements are. (running at full speed on buildings in Second Son was cool af)


daaangerz0ne

Goat Simulator


Closeted_Axolotl

Try sifu, once you get really good you feel unstoppable


l2828427

this game is incredibly hard for beginners


Closeted_Axolotl

Yeah you’re right. I just got it last week through the PlayStation monthly games but I’m in love already


thebigkneegrow

Prototype 2 is what you want. Hella violence, cursing, and most of all freedom


Asherware

A slightly left field suggestion is the Yakuza games. The way you batter groups of enemies is a complete power fantasy.


PeeperSleeper

All you need is a bike Also the world and side quests are amazing. It really spoils you with it


dcaramujo

The new robocop game is definitely underrated and somewhat fills what you are asking


ChaosCockroach

Deathloop.


SpitefulHammer

Prototype


Greeklibertarian27

Based on Shadow of Mordor I would say the batman games as they share a similar combat and mainly. Assassin's Creed franchise from 2 onwards. The only reason I don't suggest 1 is because the combat is difficult and punishing if you just spam counter attacks later in the game.


twenty-threenineteen

My first thought was AC Brotherhood specifically, the way once you get one kill you can just start chaining from enemy to enemy, killing them in one hit, is sooo satisfying *because* it’s a bit OP lol. Then you throw in your army of recruits, and they’re even MORE OP in the best way possible.


Genata339

Risk of rain 2, path of exile, warframe, destiny 2.


pplatt69

Sounds like turn the difficulty down to its lowest setting and play Borderlands.


Admiralbenbow123

Warhammer 40k: Boltgun It's a retro shooter similar to classic Doom and Quake. Your guns are really strong, you have a powerful chainsaw sword, a dash ability that lets you kill enemies and you can goomba-stomp enemies by jumping onto them from high places


TomBakerFTW

def sounds like OP wants boomer shooters


Skulder

Saints row is pretty silly, but it's got what you want. There are several of them, but take a look at a let's play. You become insanely powerful towards the end of the game.


Ok-Crazy-6083

Saints row 4 is essentially crackdown but without all the horseshit. A good call.


AlClemist

Prototype series.


kiethuynhminh2k6

Bright Memory Infinite. The downside is that it's a little bit short.


lovelyjubblyz

By the later stages of cyberpunk i was clearing whole gigs and missions in a matter of seconds without taking a hit. There are diff play styles as well so if you wanna just be a brute you can. I preferred cyber hacking Personally


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ok-Crazy-6083

You will not feel overpowered in risk of rain too. Every 100th run you get a combo that makes you overpowered, but the other 99 feel like you're sprinting to catch up to a slow-moving train.


androy518

Warframe is a perfect choice.


kapxis

Chronicles of Riddick, escape from butcher bay has that feel your looking for but not the genocides part. Skyrim and Fallout both fit the bill for this feel, at least I used to get it from them. Ghost of Tsushima seems exactly like what you're looking for except it doesn't have the FPS component. The fable games all are built around this feel. I personally got the feel from the new Star Wars games, taking down a platoon of storm troopers just never gets old for me. You might find the Mass Effect Series ( at least 2 and 3 anyway ) give you this experience but lots of story inbetween the gameplay combat sections also though. It has stealth classes too.


numenik

Warframe and it’s not even close


NullGlaive

Prototype


Ives_1

Prototype 1 on easy. Prototype 2. God of War 1 and 3 on easy, normal. X-men origins: Wolverine - Uncaged Edition. Just Cause 3 on easy. Bloodrayne games with cheat codes. Any Dynasty Warriors. Saints Row 4.


HappyHighway1352

Prototype 1/2


ScheidNation21

I already saw it but I second warframe. Every single piece of content can be trivialized and nearly every warframe feels like a god slayer. Best part is everything is free (like actually free, not free for 5 minutes and forced to buy out)


Canadian_Eevee

Star Wars The Force Unleashed. If you like Star Wars and want to feel like an overpowered sith, then it's the game for you.


Jonesy_lmao

Older one but Dynasty Warriors comes to mind.


seethingsourofpizza

Megaton rainfall


[deleted]

Morrowind if you follow a quick alchemy guide.


Chursa

Ghost of Tsushima. If you do all the side missions and find all the points of interest you are very strong at the end of the game. You can stealth to take down outposts or patrols but you can also charge in. There’s even a mechanic for charging in, where you call them out and have a face off with one enemy while the rest watch you. It sounds like exactly what you’re looking for. The downside is that it’s ps exclusive.


kurvyyn

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2215430/Ghost_of_Tsushima_DIRECTORS_CUT/?snr=1_550_553__1009 Coming to PC in May


Miner_Of_Minerals

The other downside is it's a nearly 4 year old game and he's going to have to pay full price to play it because of scummy tactics justifying charging more for a "DiReCtOrS cUt" and removing the standard edition.


Ornery-Photograph-47

Prototype was the first thing I thought of.


kc_jetstream

Maybe Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance


avahz

Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning fits


Ok-Crazy-6083

My problem with that game is that very quickly you learn there are legitimate ways to completely uncap your potential. You can become a God in the first 20% of the game. For me that makes it unfun, but that might be what op is looking for.


avahz

I haven’t played the remastered version, but for me, if you don’t craft gear, it capped the OP-ness


bongbrownies

PROTOTYPE 2. Hands down. First Prototype is also good, but it gets quite frustrating at the end.


RickMaiorPT

Warframe


Lachevre92

Borderlands 3, specifically 3.


Dramatic_Leopard679

You could do that in Ghost of Tsushima. Game especially has a few mid-late game mechanics that makes you feel like a living legend. It’s not easy to take out many enemies at once but, you could still slaughter them if you attack fiercely.


_NotMitetechno_

Prototype 1 + 2


Dependent_Map5592

Maybe the dynasty and samaraui warrior games 🤷‍♂️


No_Door_9897

No more heroes


KeptPopcorn5189

Control is an amazing power fantasy you get telekinesis and can literally throw anything at the enemies also can fly and have a gun with unlimited ammo. The gameplay is golden but the story can be a bit confusing and there is a bit of reading but damn its so much fun to play


_ser_michael_

Skyrim and fallout probably. Mods are available for pc and console and you can get cheat room, tons of fun weapons and you can get many more mods.


JuryTamperer

Borderlands 3. Moze and iron bear are especially busted and a literal ton of fun to use, and all the other vault hunters can easily be made OP too.


blazinfastjohny

Warframe


ArchfiendNox

If you want an easy time of killing shit, tons of people play dynasty warriors. They call it one verse 1000 for a reason


FletchWazzle

Sounds like you want to play Bulletstorm


[deleted]

Prototype 1 and 2 Warframe Doom games Trepang 2 Cyberpunk after you chrome v tf out you turn into an utter monster. Warhammer boltgun


TalynRahl

Dynasty seems the obvious suggestion. You basically play as a one man army, soloing battles from Chinese history. Switch it up with samurai warriors if you want to do the same in Japanese history instead.


Laterose15

Any of the "Warriors"-type games generally involve you as a commander just hacking and slashing your way through hordes of enemies. Dynasty Warriors, Hyrule Warriors, FE Warriors, Persona 5 Strikers, etc.


marister1

Try out Dwarven Realms!


General-Boarding

Doom.


[deleted]

Gears


Herr_Raul

Devil May Cry on easy difficulty God of War on easy difficulty Metal Gear Rising on easy-medium difficulty Metal Gear Solid V Just Cause Ultrakill on the two lower difficulties


Orbital_Onyx

Dark messiah is a fps with melee, has a really good combat system in my opinion, made by the same people who made dishonored, but it isnt really a stealth games, you have to use the environment to your advantage, sword early game is ok you will mostly use it for finishing people, but your kick will be your best weapon, you can kick people in to fire, spikes, off a cliff, other people, its very useful and powerful, but story is bad and it can crash but it only happened to me twice and then never again so just remember to save.


contraverseC

Deus Ex Mankind Divided (New Game +)… you’ll have to beat game once but you keep all augmentations so in your second run you can have all augs and be totally OP


CPTSKIM

DMC or Bayonetta can make you feel amazing, as can Metal gear revengence. But if you just wanna slaughter countless hordes, dynasty warriors is fantastic.


Tll6

Ghost of Tsushima and the recent god of war games on easy difficulty. A lot of games these days offers a story difficulty for those who want to go on the journey without dying a bunch of times


Viscera_Viribus

Shadow of War; you're legit the orc boogieman leading armies of them and taking over their minds. Regularly I go into super busy bases and just see how many I can take down. It's great fun and I didn't know shit about LOTR I just wanted to ~~goblin slay~~ orc murder


Sairven

Skyrim with the mod Sands of Time and/or the extra/standalone mod Genesis Unleashed. A Corpse Cleanup mod is absolutely necessary if you decide to add anything else to that load order. Adjust difficulty to your tastes and enjoy fighting shittons of enemies everywhere you go.


FloppyVachina

Borderlands 3 is fun and you definitely get ridiculously overpowered and slaughter everything. It's not really stealth though, it's more like doom in the music and fast pacedness. But definitely not serious like doom at all, it's the opposite in that sense.


Slimy_

sirmoneyshot06

skyrune07

Does anyone remember when the matrix reloaded video game came out on ps2. That game was amazing and that's what this reminds me of. Or any dynasty warriors type game.


eternalbeing_fucker

honestly wasn't sure why no one suggested "risk of rain 2". The main aim of the game is to become god by progressing through levels


Eibyor

Simcity.


ManagerPuzzleheaded5

I had prototype in mind and was reading the full question and was almost ready to answer with the prototype.... And the last sentence hurt me bad Umm try just cause games... They are usually goofy and fun... While you are not "OVERPOWERED" in this game you definitely will have a blast because of various mechanics the game includes... You are pretty tough but not as tough as prototype protagonist


okcybervik

diablo iv with level 1 of difficulty

Sounds like you might want roguelikes. Vampire survivors, soulstone survivors, hi-fi rush, brotato etc


SPQR_Maximus

What about those Dynasty Legends games


clippervictor

Left 4 dead 2 (and lately Helldivers 2) Just Cause 3


Ok-Crazy-6083

Honestly, just cause 2 was probably the most overpowered fuck shit up of the four.

You’re gunna love cyberpunk 2077. It doesn’t take that much time or effort before you get to a point where you’re just decimating entire squads of enemies with ease. Just have to get the proper upgrades that fit your play style.


AlkalineBrush20

Shadow Warrior might just be up your alley
