I’m really into games like Ultrakill, Ghostrunner, and Severed Steel, but I’m craving something with a heavier focus on melee combat rather than gunplay, similar to Sifu or Mirror’s Edge. Does anyone have good recommendations that fit this description?

Honestly, that’s basically the whole character action genre! If you’re after something with tons of movement and wall-running, go for Ninja Gaiden. For more complex moves and animation, Devil May Cry has you covered—remember, DMC inspired Ultrakill! Bayonetta is sort of in between those styles.
You might enjoy traditional character action games like Devil May Cry or Bayonetta. They have that great blend of fast-paced action and melee combat you’re looking for!
Check out Voin, it’s an upcoming FPS roguelite that seems like a perfect match for what you want. Also, Mortal Sin looks great on paper, although it has a different vibe. It’s an awesome game though, definitely recommend! And there’s Elderborn, which fits your criteria, but it’s a bit janky.
Just grabbed the Sinful Vengeance Duo Bundle for Mortal Sin and Voin after your recommendation! Super excited to dive in; I hadn’t even known about them!
