Whenever a fast paced action game like Devil May Cry, Prodeus, HiFi Rush or Doom have a grading system then I would feel like not continuing them as if some one is judging my performance, instead of a bar to get better.

It's weird that this feeling never happens in a game like Hitman or Overcooked. I view them as challenges, but not grading like in DMC.

Yes, and I have no problem with it at all. I guess, because instead of presenting grades in ABC, it uses ranking that's less judgemental instead, which is also different based on play style also.

Games that I keep retrying to achieve a better grade or even add an extra challenge myself are Splinter Cells and Metal gear solid.
