A lot of horror game monsters just try to grab you when they attack. And it's made me wonder whether there's a better way for players to struggle against that sort of thing, aside from button mashing.
So I wanted to get some opinions here. Which games out there have the best wrestling mechanics?
I'm not talking about fake WWE stuff. I'm thinking more of those semi-realistic MMA titles, where players 1 & 2 usually wind up rolling around on the floor.
I don't think many horror games would be improved by a full-on multiplayer-level wrestling system. But it could still be an interesting place to start from. Any research suggestions would be welcome.

Sorry fellas. /v/ is just an awful place to talk about video games.
Best conversations I've ever had about vidya on this site were on /k/ and /lit/. Any thread you start on /v/ wil immediately get accused of being a shill thread, regardless of the subject. I once started a thread to ask about which game engines have the best destruction physics, and they immediately accused me of shilling for "Teardown" of all things, because I'd put a picture from that in my thumbnail.
I've already tried asking this on /v/, but it devolved into meaningless bullshit as usual. Idk where else to find people who might have interesting opinions on grappling.
If there's another non-/v/ board where people might be able to answer this question, I'll go there. But not /v/, anything but /v/. It's just not worth it anymore.

This isn't a normie board. There's no such thing. It's the containment board for autistic combat sports and niche athletic hobbies. This is the most appropriate board to come to for this question.
