I haven’t played it in a while (due to performance issues,) but I remember parrying in Deadlock being really satisfying. The timing was so generous, and led to mind games, fakeouts, mixups and all kinds of shenanigans about when you parry, bait parry, hold parry so the enemy doesn’t know if you’ll parry, training the enemy to expect when you’ll parry before changing when you parry. And because melee isn’t the only focus in combat, it made it a nice skill expression without being a win button.
