Great action combat system, aka without any major flaws....none of them.
Vast majority of them fall into 4-8, solid-very good range, but not really close to quality of straight forward action games like Bayonetta or top tier fighting games.
Best:
Gore: Severance/Witcher III
Badass brutality: Severance
Enemy variety and design: Souls games
Bosses: most of them are at best decent, Souls have best ( but only a few out of bunch), Dogma second place, HoS&Blood and Wine third place
Visual abilities Design: Dogma, easily
Parry: Souls games( excluding horribly long I-framed clumsy animation sequence), probably Kingdom Come Deliverance will top this
Environment Interaction: Dark Messiah abilities/ Jedi movement
Abilities interaction: Dogma
Sound design: Witcher III, Dogma(magic), or anything Blizzard
Hit precision: Jedi Outcast/Academy
Evasive mechanics(dodge/roll/side step): Witcher III
Block mechanics: Mount and Blade
Archery: Mount and Blade first person, Dogma third person
"Organic" enemy scaling: Gothic II
Camera, UI: none of them
