    I am not a big fighting game player and would say the only FG's I ever played heavily were SF2 and Tekken 3 back in the day. I had the itch for a good fighter and had been trying to decide between Tekken 7 and Injustice 2 but I stumbled upon this little gem and decided to give it a shot since I loved the art style and it was $20 cheaper than the others.

    I'm glad I did and I have become super into this fighter. The characters are all pretty unique with great designs and the art and animation is phenomenal. It has incredible depth and tons of mechanics for hardcore fighters but there is nothing to daunting and you can still have tons of fun and not be semi competent even with out mastering/understanding them all. The lobbies and rooms one of the coolest setups for online play I have seen in any game. The player base is not huge but it's enough that I have never had too much trouble finding people of my lowly skill level to spar with no matter the time of day.

    If you have even the slightest interest at all in this game give it a shot and you will not regret it.    … Expand

    Guilty Gear Xrd: Rev 2 is yet another expansion of an already vast and diverse fighter. Though there are a lot of mechanical difficulties to overcome, the game itself does a wonderful job of teaching new players the complexities of the game. However, due to these complexities, it does make for what I would consider to be an often overcomplicated fighter.

    Late to the scene on this one but one of the best fighters round for casuals and extreme. Audio/visual is top of the class. Good mix of characters and gameplay choices and solid fighting action. Don't let the anime design put you off... Its a bloody good game.

    Baiken is a fantastic addition to the cast and gave a lot more incentive to play. Otherwise, like the prior iterations great visuals and fighting mechanics.

    Best fighting game ever. Awesome characters, awesome music, awesome gameplay. Maybe it lacks some game mode, like Survival... but is fine for me.

    Guilty Gear Rev 2 is a fine update to Revelator that takes an already superb base game, adds some great characters into the mix and refines the fighting engine even further. It still has certain accessibility issues that any game this complex is bound to have , but there’s still nothing quite like Guilty Gear on the market when it comes to delivering high speed battles mixed with awesome visuals and great music.

    Well worth a purchase for diehard fight fans. [Aug 2017, p.96]

    A tough, technical fighter with a lot of resources to help you conquer it. Shame about the story mode, though.
