Pretty good, I’ll keep an eye on it

Currently slowly going through Everspace 2. The first title was a roguelite arcade space game, which is not a terrible combination, but not really what I wanted from the devs. With this sequel, they ditch the rogue grippings and expand into open-world arcade space, much like Freelancer or Darkstar, and that makes a world of difference. Story so far is nothing to write about, the dialogue and plot beats range from tedious to annoying, but it feels really damn good to fly around shooting down pilots.
Not your typical recommendation but Unnamed Space Idle has also been consuming my free time. As an avid idle game collector, I genuinely believe this might be the current top of the genre - at least in the current year. Every aspect, prestige layer and mechanic builds on top of each other, always pushing your momentum and never having a “Now you’re going to stop having fun for hours” period of upgrading.

glad I could help, if I remember anything else I might chime in once more
Aces Wild is an exhausting game. I actually need to take a break after playing for 15min or so due to how high octane it is. But its a damn good game.
Brigador, as I mentioned, is no unga bunga action game. You might think at first you’re a big warrior riding on their mech, but a few sudden defeats will humble you and set your mindset into what the game actually is about - strategic war crimes.

Aces Wilds is a 2D beat’em up, fast paced, straightforward arcade game
Brigador is a top down mecha shooter game; I wouldn’t usually recommend it in regards to action since it can be a little difficult, but since you mentioned God Hand then I can assume you understand that some games can be action but still require thinking. Just like you wouldn’t rush every single mook in God Hand, you wouldn’t do the same in Brigador. Look for weakpoints, burst through walls, make use of explosives and don’t think about the civilians.
Zeno Clash is a first-person brawler game set in a weird world, and it all somehow comes together. The fighting is fluid and the punches, kicks and throws all feel solid while not risking motion sickness.
STRIDER has a little bit of Vania in it, but its far more linear than its counterparts. You’ll do some basic exploring, but most of the time it’ll be following an objective and slashing foes in your way.
Zero Ranger is a delightful shmup with some tough - and sometimes unfair - challenges.
One Finger Death Punch is a simple game: You can click your left or right mouse button to attack. Now defeat wave after wave of incoming foes that require precise or different amount of clicks to be taken down. Its essentially Xiao Xiao: The Game
Nex Machina is one of the last great arcade games from Housemarque before they couldn’t break even and went into a different market. A gem, still.
Volgar The Viking takes inspirations from classics like Ghouls & Ghosts to make you regret feeling nostalgic.
You mentioned Bayo, so I’ll assume you’re aware of Vanquish, as they’re often sold in bundles, but I’ll still leave the rec here. Fast paced third person shooter where you can take cover, but its far better to just slide across the battlefield shooting at whichever is around you.
FURI is a straightforward boss battle game. Escape from a galactic prison by fighting each of the wardens in your way, powerful and merciless opponents.
