There are some solid games this year, on top of my list of expectation is Dead as Disco.

If you’re a Batman: Arkham combat sicko like me, and you’ve been waiting for an imitator to come along and do it right again, Dead as Disco might be the real deal in a way that the likes of Spider-Man are not.
Just watched the trailer albeit without sound and had the impression it was a rhythm brawler, hope is not the case as I’m very bad at rhythm.
They have a demo available. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3404260/Dead_as_Disco/
From what I played, the attack matches the music automatically, and you do not need to worry about pressing buttons on the beat.
You can attack with no concern about timing (mashing, for example), and the animation will always hit to complement the music. Like, if the music has a quick ta-ta-ta, pressing the attack will show your character quickly punching 3 times matching it.
I don’t know whether it is nostalgia or my memory failing, but Batman: Arkham combat is in a sweet spot that is hard to match. I remember enjoying Sleeping Dogs and Shadow of Mordor, but Mad Max was a bit repetitive. People also suggests Sifu and Ghost of Tsushima, but I haven’t tried those yet.
