Review: Street Fighter 6 packs a mean punch

Street Fighter 6 has all the fighting game nuance needed to make tournaments exciting – and plenty of broader content for gamers who just want a little fun and enjoyment. — Capcom/TNS

Street Fighter V, which was released a whopping seven years ago (how time flies!) was a terrific fighting game experience. Street Fighter 6, however, is something even better: A terrific video game experience that you’ll lose yourself in for weeks upon weeks on end.

This is how a franchise can grow, learn, and evolve. For years, the Street Fighter series has delivered topnotch fighting game mechanics, and a perfect competitive environment. But it’s gradually been passed by other franchises (Mortal Kombat!) when it comes to storytelling and breadth of content. Street Fighter V delivered the guts of a good fighting game, but not enough else.
