Any suggestions for some Beat 'em Up CAGs?

I played some Beat 'em Up CAGs in my lifetime including God Hand (on PS2), Spider-Man: Web of Shadows (on Xbox 360) and Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions (also on Xbox 360). And they were enjoyable in my experience.

And no, I don't own an Xbox console. lol Because after Xbox 360, I went for PS4. And now, I currently own PS5. Although, I may end up switching to PC for some reason.

Anyway, is there any other Beat 'em Up game that's purely a CAG (or at least it's a CAG at some point)? I would love to know if there's any. I know there's a lot of 2D Beat 'em Up games. But are there any 3D Beat 'em Up CAGs that I can enjoy?

By the way, I'm not asking for Hack & Slash CAGs like DMC, GOW, NG, Bayo, MGR:R and so on. Because I already played so many of them (or at least I think I did lol).

About Gwendolyn's face in TOA, it looks like a graphical lighting issue that caused her face to look worse in live ver. of Gamescom trailer. Otherwise, YouTube ver. looks clean.

In Tides of Annihilation, the new face of Gwendolyn (main character) looks generic. Although, producer Fu Kun says the changes to the main character's face are just lighting.

Producer Fu Kun said this:

"Actually, the previous PV also used real-time rendering. The female lead's face shape is consistent in the latest PV and the current demo. It's just that we wanted it to be smoother in terms of lighting optimization, so there are some differences and imperfections in the facial rendering.

Of course, this version may have been a bit rushed, and we will further optimize the facial rendering under lighting later"

Any ideas how is Ninja Gaiden's popularity not on the level of Devil May Cry's popularity especially nowadays?

DMC franchise's latest entry DMC5 sold 3.5 million copies worldwide within 1 year.

And recently, DMC5 just sold over 14 million copies worldwide.

On the other hand, I heard NG4 (NG franchise's latest entry) didn't even sell a million copies worldwide within 1 year so far.

And if that's true, why? How is NG franchise not so popular nowadays compared to DMC franchise?

I gained a Platinum Trophy twice for DMC5. Once for its vanilla version on PS4 and once for its Special Edition on PS5.

As for NG4, I just finished playing the game. And its combat gameplay looks much more menacing than DMC5's combat gameplay imo. And I thought about gaining a Platinum Trophy for it too.

So I wanna ask, any ideas how is NG franchise not so popular compared to DMC franchise especially nowadays? Is there any reason for that? If so, I wanna know.
