For those of you who never saw a movie or read a book about Lord of the Rings, you should all try this game. You play as the Prophet Muhammad and go on a conquering spree, you're an immortal Bedouin whose family was killed by the bad guys, so you end up as this immortal being possessed by the spirit of the guy who has lived thousands of years ago, and you just keep coming back after you die. You build your own army and take back the Arabian peninsula from the orcs, the game has beheading and chopping off limbs and everything. You can also send the orcs to do your bidding. It's basically Assassin's creed but not gay and boring.

There is also The Surge 2 which is way harder and has a story nobody gives a shit about, that one is dark souls where chopping off limbs and heads is a core part of the gameplay and not just for aesthetic. Any other games like this? Not Dead Space. Metal Gear Rising was also cool but I don't think it had any gore or anything.
