To avoid derailing some threads, I figure I'd make this so we can talk about Diana in a video game setting. This is a general video game thread so like we can talk about Diana both in video games and what a solo game would look like.

We were discussing the lasso and I mentioned that Diana should use it in ways that restrains a group of enemies, turning them into a unit that she can push and smack around the battlefield.
I mentioned Jackie Chan as a reference. The simplest example I can think of is in this scene. This isn't his best fight scene, but it's the best to ilustrate what I mean. Jump to the 2:25 timestamp. He restrains the group and uses them against each other. Diana could do a lot of cool combinations with her lasso in group fight scenes.
Please don't ban me for putting a clip from Karate Kid here.
I've said that I would enjoy an open multi-world game using the graphics of "Breath of the Wild" and the wild abilities of "Immortal: phenix rising" and "final fantasy". With Diana as the main character and adding Nubia later on as DLC with a different move set.
Diana utilized a combo of Hand 2 Hand/Wrestling, Lasso, Sword and Shield fighting techniques and players will be able to switch between them mid gameplay. She can also use her tiara ala Batman's baterang.
(Nubia would also use H2H and wrestling with the addition of a twohanded longsword.)
Diana has access to unique super moves involving her bracelet slam, Zeus's lightning, Hestia's fire, and Hecate's magic.
Worlds: Themyscira, Sphere of the Gods (mainly the Greek Myth lands), Gateway City, Atlantis, and Underworld/Dooms doorway : with a Sangtee Empire controlled "galaxy", 4th World, and a Dark Souls style vampire castle for future DLC
Gameplay is a combo of open world combat and puzzle solving.
Story uses both Perez and Rucka's origins as a frame. From Diana's start of her mission leaving Themyscira and ending with the Death of Max and what would have happened had DC not ruined Rucka's plan.

I'm not saying your wrong but again your limiting a move set for a game because it doesn't fit that narrow box you have for Diana. She can swing the lasso as a whip/chains from God of War and have the ability to restrain and grapple. The lasso offers range attacks along with the tiara/boomerang and lightning.

Diana also needs to be able to fly, Mainly as the games primary mobility vs a horse as an example. Flight can have a limited combat usage, like dive bombing and creating an AOE slam or lassoing an enemy on the ground and bringing them up for a H2H combo.

Another Villain: Aegeus
As the rebirth revamp, advanced weapons based off Greek myth arms dealer.
He'd be a side quest villain. Him, Dr. Cyber/Cale, and Shang Tsu are the reasons minor criminals/canon fodder enemies are getting access to advanced tech capable of hurting Diana.

I'll come back with a story later, but I hope the game takes inspiration from WW84 regarding the lasso. I would love to use the lasso for platforming traversal the way it is used in the movie. Probably with a later "gliding on wind" component to make platforming more challenging in later chapters of the game.
I also would have the main story be Maxwell Lord kidnapping Dr. Barbara Minerva to help him find the Eclipso Diamond - inspiration from Justice League vs. Suicide Squad. He'll assemble a team of rogues - Dr. Cyber, Warmaster, Giganta, Major Disaster, Silver Swan, Dr. Psycho, and Aegeus.
Side quests will be: Dr. Poison and the Echidna Project, The Mask who is a serial killer of married men, Zara a cult leader with pyrokinesis, and Bushmaster and his army of zombies.
Diana's homebase is D.C. and her supporting cast would be Steve Trevor, Etta Candy, and the leader of Argus - Darnell, Sasha, whomever.
Mine would basically be God of War with fancy lasso tricks. I'm talking gameplay only btw, I don't want Diana going around decapitating Zeus and beating Apollos teeth in.

Ok I'm not gonna go into detail with this but the example you gave of the lasso cutting someone is very different from what Kratos does. In general I would say that the lasso should be a cross between Ghost Rider and Spider-man.
