    Streets of Rage 4 continues to be everything you would want from a modern beat ‘em up. With excellent controls, smooth gameplay, beautiful animation, and a stunning soundtrack, it is well worth your time. For existing fans, nothing in the Mr. X Nightmare DLC is going to blow your mind. This isn’t a huge addition. It’s a bonus, some new content to push you back into the game. It won’t change anyone’s opinion about the game as a whole, but if you already enjoy raging through these streets, these new characters and survival mode are great additions.

    This DLC makes a great game even better.

    * Three new characters with multiple movesets
    * New moves for all the old characters to allow them also to be customized
    * A 4th hidden character to go along with the three new characters
    * A very fun and highly replayable Survival mode
    * New songs
    * New weapons and enemies (enemies from previous games)

    All for just $8, which is kinda silly considering the amount of work just needed for the additional animations for the old and new characters.

    And then the free update adds in even more stuff:

    * Excellent training mode, which also has tips and training on how to play the characters that can show people that the combat system is deeper than just mashing the punch button
    * Palette swaps so multiple of the same character can be used in multiplayer
    * Mania+ difficulty for people that are into that
    * Balance changes and other updates/fixes

    It's a fantastic DLC that just adds to what I already considered the best SoR game. Opinion obviously, but I just enjoy SoR4 more than I remember enjoying the old SoR games I played as a kid on my Sega. Part of it is I'm not really nostalgic for the old school graphics and animations (which I thought were fine back then), I much prefer the smooth hand drawn style of SoR4.

    It would have been nice if they'd added native support for online 4 player, but that can still be done with Steam Remote Play or Parsec. Before the DLC the game probably wasn't at 10/10 level, but after the DLC, I think it's closer to a 10 than it is to a 9.    … Full Review »
