What are the best (and worst) "mob encounters" you've ever played?

Hi, it’s been a while.

I’m an aspiring combat designer, and lately, I’ve been deeply reflecting on what defines a truly "great" field encounter.

Could you tell me about the best and worst combat encounters you've experienced with regular enemies, along with a brief reason why? Any recommendations for games or materials I could study for reference would also be a huge help!

To clarify, I’m not talking about boss fights. I mean the combat that happens in the field with "trash mobs" or groups of regular enemies. (Sorry if my terminology is a bit off—I hope you get the gist!)

My dream is to one day develop a game with combat so intense and immersive that it makes players truly feel alive. I’d love to hear your thoughts and learn from your experiences!
