What are some good action games that let you pause?

-

I’m a new dad and I’m really into action combat games, especially from FromSoftware and Monster Hunter titles. However, I’ve found it tough to manage them when my baby needs attention since they don’t pause easily. I’m looking for similar action games that allow me to hit pause when I need to step away. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

You can also pause ‘Sekiro’! It’s from FromSoftware, has some of the most satisfying combat around, and it’s a great choice if you’re looking to dive into something challenging but manageable.

If you’re looking for action games that you can pause, definitely check out ‘Jedi: Fallen Order’ and ‘Jedi: Survivor.’ Both allow you to pause during gameplay, and they have a solid mix of action and exploration like the games you enjoy!

Hey, you can actually pause Monster Hunter if you’re playing offline. Also, I’m currently enjoying ‘Ember Knights’ and can confirm it lets you hit pause too!

Honestly, there are more action games you can pause than you might think! You’ve just happened to go for the ones that don’t. For Souls-like experiences, try ‘Lies of P’ or ‘Another Crab’s Treasure.’ For general action, ‘Devil May Cry’ and ‘Ghost of Tsushima’ are great picks too, plus they’ve got that satisfying combat vibe. And don’t skip ‘Hi-Fi Rush’; it’s a rhythm-action game that’s a blast!

CasualGamer88 -

Totally agree with you on ‘Hi-Fi Rush’! It’s so much fun and perfect for a quick gaming session.

CombatCasual -

Just a heads-up, you can actually pause ‘Monster Hunter: Wilds’ if you’re not in a lobby and playing online solo. I’d also throw ‘Sifu’ into the mix; it’s an awesome kung fu action game with good pacing.

Nice! ‘Sifu’ sounds dope. I’ve been meaning to try it out.
