    Street Fighter 6 honestly feels like the best game of the series in every facet possible. The long term will prove or disprove this though as these games tend to morph and change over their lifetime. But for this game to take that title, it’s done everything right from the outset to cement its legacy as the best of the best. This game is a recommendation for people interested in fighting games at any level, go check it out now.

    Capcom’s latest takes everything you’d expect from the father of the fighting genre and turns it up to 10. There’s something for everyone here, with no fat or filler to ruin the experience. Street Fighter 6 is the best fighting game experience in a long time, and in the years to come, its impact and legacy could be every bit as massive as Street Fighter 2.

    Street Fighter 6 is accessible for players of any skill level. It's open enough to new players but offers what fighter vets need to stay invested in a new title. Good net code, interesting characters, and new features that make it stick out from previous iterations are the things that ensure longevity in the community.

    Street Fighter 6 simply lives up to the hype. From its smooth graphics and fresh presentation to its approachable controls and intricate fighting system, pretty much everything is on point. Not only is the Battle Hub a fantastic multiplayer venue for online play, but World Tour is a revelation. It’s clear Capcom has learned many lessons from Street Fighter 5 and has poured everything it could into this sequel. And in today’s age of modern, live-service gaming, it’s rare to see a game like this come out of the gate swinging with tons of content. In what marks a triumphant comeback for the series, Street Fighter 6 sets a new standard for all future fighting games to come.

    This is not only a kinetic, exciting and gloriously refined interpretation of the most storied fighting game series, but also the most generous and expansive offering yet. Here is a game that pays tearful tribute to its past, while determinedly seeking out a new and young audience - mindful, no doubt, that its future resides in their hands, be they practised or otherwise.

    This is how all big brands should come back. Street Fighter 6 has content to spare, is accessible to newcomers without betraying veterans, and most of all, plays damn well.

    Street Fighter 6 in it's simplest form remains a fantastic, fun experience, retaining the same gameplay that has been tweaked and improved throughout the years to ensure it remains top of the pile. Jarring attempts to meet the needs of young players alongside a World Tour mode that fails to meet the hype placed upon it however, stop this from being an essential purchase. Stick to Arcade Mode and enjoy what made this franchise so great in the first place. A fantastic fighter is there, just buried under the fluff.

    In general, the game is great, but in fact, compared to the previous part, it has become more focused on the hardcore audience. In my opinion,In general, the game is great, but in fact, compared to the previous part, it has become more focused on the hardcore audience. In my opinion, this is a positive change. Combat mechanics have become very strategic and enjoyable. The character balance is still not very good, but I don't see anything critical here, I think the developer will adapt it for the existing meta very soon. I also see that there has been a lot of discussions regarding graphics and animations in the game, some like it, some don't. As for me the graphics in the game looks beautiful and feels modern. I'm still a little annoyed by the slightly "overblown" characters - but this is a street fighter, they have such a style.

    The biggest flaw I see so far - is "modern" preset for controls. It is very convenient but has some missed of functionality in compared to classical one. This makes disbalance in fights between players who use different presets.    … Expand

    The good.

    Plenty of game modes and well fleshed out for a fighter. Some of the mechanics make for great counter play. The easy to unlock    The good.

    Plenty of game modes and well fleshed out for a fighter.

    Some of the mechanics make for great counter play.

    The easy to unlock artwork is great, as are costumes. I'm not usually that bothered about cosmetics but it is a nice touch.

    The bad The same ridiculous character designs like in SF 4&5. Everyone looks juiced up to **** The women look hot, so if anime tiddies are up your alley then you're in luck. The cutscenes are total junk. I'd prefer them to not be there rather than have to keep skipping them. Music is totally forgettable but the music outside of the actual fights is outright terrible. It sounds dated and much of it sounds like bad gameshow jingles. Have Capcom never heard their competition. Come on guys, Killer Instinct destroys this on sound.

    Gameplay. I went over the great mechanics but for me it is ruined by yet another slow game. SF2 had turbo options, SF3 was fast. Although the game is responsive, it still manages to feel slow and boring.

    SF5 can barely hold my attention for 3, or 4 fights. SF6 does for maybe 5, or 6. The difference being that I like SF6 enough to play again another day and the fact I'll play it again is the reason for the 4 score. I play a lot of fighters and it just doesn't reach that level of enjoyability for me. Coming from KoF, Fatal Fury etc, this feels a bit sluggish.

    The terrible. Now I haven't included this in my score but £25 for trickle fed DLC which should have just been part of the release is shocking. Awful business practice and truly put me off. Just give me the full damn game.

    I feel like I am playing a £12-£15 game but it actually cost £45. I feel value for money is bad.

    This is my newest fighter that I have owned nearly a week and I am sat here contemplating what I want to play today. Killer Instinct, KoF 15, any Blazblue, MK11, Injustice 2, Garou, 3rd Strike. SF6 isn't even on the cards and after less than a week, it should be my no1 choice.

    Another downer isn't to do with the game itself but I feel Play Station controllers just feel horrible for fighters. If it had not been for me trading in other games for this and I was just buying it, then I would have preferred it on Steam with my old Xbox controller. In all it's not a bad game but I find so many of its competitors more fun to play. It is good having to guess your opponents next move, for defence, counters and throw resists and this is where the game does shine.

    I think addition of a speed boost may improve my score. It's worth having in your collection but it wouldn't be in my top 10 fighters. Tbh I think I actually enjoyed Jump Force more than this and I generally only go for 2D fighters.

    I think I would have preferred a modern equivalent of SF 2s, 3s and Alphas but this feels more like a modernised SF 4&5. Both of which are pretty dull and wank.

    If the genre had fewer options then this might have got a 6/10 but competition outshines it.    … Expand
