What game has the most satisfying gameplay loop?
Artificial Academy 2
Unironically Tom Clancy’s The Division
SMT games. Specifically 3 and Devil Survivor. Increasing level allows you to fuse higher level demons and become better at putting on abilities and fusing out weaknesses. Unlocking new skills.
At the beginning of the game, you feel very weak and get bullied by everything. By the end, this incremental improving of demonic fusion, skill selection and maximizing options flip the script and you bully the enemies instead.
Monster Hunter has a pretty great loop.
>Encounter monster
>Beat it
>Equipment needs more of its stuff
>Get better at beating it as you train yourself to suss out its tells
>Make that equipment. That monster is now your bitch
>Repeat with next monster
This or Diablo 2
