      Other good ones:
      -Hades from Hades
      His character is really well fleshed out, his gameplay is punishing and mostly unique to him, he looks really cool and intimidating, his soundtrack is fantastic (and I don’t even like metal that much), and he has a hidden second phase, and even a third hidden phase thanks to Extreme Measures.
      -The Queen from Dead Cells
      What makes her so cool is that she’s the main character but better. This subverts expectations because previously, the mc was thought to be a unique anomaly. She taunts you throughout the fight, her design is elegant and intimidating, and her relationship with the main character is surprisingly complicated. Gameplay-wise, she can do things only the player can do, like reflect, parry, and grapple. She’s not just tougher than the other final boss, she’s more interesting.

      Gary Oak is such a simple but effective final Boss for Red/Blue/Yellow. You're constantly outplaying him, beating him despite him being slightly ahead, and then *he* becomes the champion! It's such a "no shit" move nowadays, but for a gameboy game, I really think that was pretty neat.
      Him constantly belittling you helped a lot, too. Make me hate, sympathize or feel SOME emotion toward a boss at all, otherwise he's just a tough guy with a banger OST and cool presentation.

      Then what about games where your entire mission is made out of killing said bosses, like the OG Shadow of The Colossus, or the Monster Hunter series in general? Especially now that Monster Hunter World is out; putting down beasts Like Nergigante or Deviljho (and dont get me ranting about the Arch - Tempered ones) the first time does feels like an achievement for life if you ask me.

      @@piemaniac9410 FINALLY someone mentions Furi. Awesome fucking game! I loved every boss except the Burst with her final Phase and the Star who I still haven't beat...

    In my honest opinion I feel that Sekiro provides the best boss fights in every single way. Im a sucker for human vs human fights. I remember the second time I faced Genichiro It felt like I was actually battling an equal, the setting, the music, the badassery, everything fit perfectly into the settings and the characters.
