Fist Of Fury

Puzzling, platforming and punching in HOB.

- Andy Kelly

The oversized left arm of Hob’s silent protagonist is mechanical, gifted to them by a friendly robot early in the game. This magnificent appendage has multiple uses, from charged punches that make enemies explode and walls crumble, to activating arcane machinery and changing the layout of levels.

You also have a sword, letting you cut foes down in a stylish flurry, but it’s that great metal fist and its upgrades which really stand out. When you charge and unleash it you can almost feel its immense, crushing power rippling through your controller – which, incidentally, Istrongly recommend you play with.
