All of your favorite fighters, as well as a few new ones, are about to hit your television screen tomorrow along with the release of Capcom's Street Fighter V.
The PlayStation 4 version of the game currently has an 83 out of 100 Metascore based on 25 critical reviews. The highest review, a 95 out of 100 comes from COGconnected, while the lowest, a 50 out of 100, comes from We Got This Covered. Here's what the critics are saying:
COGconnected - 95 out of 100
"If you are a Street Fighter fan, and are looking forward to seriously competing in this console generation’s great fighting game franchise, then your time has arrived."
GamesRadar+ - 90 out of 100
"Street Fighter 5 is deep, endlessly fun, and immensely inviting, but local competitive play is currently the primary way to enjoy it."
GamesBeat - 90 out of 100
"People who got into the fighting game community with Street Fighter IV may not want to hear this, but from a base design, Street Fighter V is by far the superior game. Capcom has paved over and smoothed out a lot of the things I didn’t like about Street Fighter IV’s design."
GameWatcher - 85 out of 100
"Street Fighter V is mechanically one of the best titles in the genre and possibly the best in this storied series, but it’s also lacking in single-player content to the extent that in places it feels unfinished."
XGN - 85 out of 100
"Capcom redefines the fighting game genre once again with Street Fighter V. The game looks awesome and the characters are great. The battles are dynamic and far more balanced than before. Despite minor flaws, this is a must buy."
IGN - 80 out of 100
"It’s hard to criticize something that seems like it was tailor-made for a wannabe competitive player like me, but I just can’t ignore how little Street Fighter 5 does for the average fighting game player."
We Got This Covered - 50 out of 100
"Instead of getting a feature complete, content filled package, we’re instead left with a bare bones offering that doesn’t even have the basics of the genre. The gameplay is phenomenal, with the enhancements being a natural progression of the series, but you have so few ways to experience it."
Street Fighter V will be available on both PC & PlayStation 4.
