Streets of Rage 4 review

In the same way Sonic Mania was a new classic-style Sonic game fans had been craving for years, Streets of Rage 4 delivers a KO of an old-school arcade brawler that’s easy to pick up but with plenty of challenge and reward to keep you coming back. The new story, overhauled visuals and a few modern tweaks ensures it’s a sequel but nonetheless one that’s firmly rooted in and celebratory of its history.

Beautiful vibrant hand-drawn art style and animations; A few modern touches enhance classic combat; Banging soundtrack; Very replayable with lots to unlock;

Four-player multiplayer not available online;

Streets of Rage 4 Review

Streets of Rage 4 is an enchanting retro surprise, bursting onto the scene and overcoming many of the justified grievances fans might have with reviving such an esteemed property. The combat is fierce, the music is banging and its sense of style is simply marvellous.

Combat is fast, fluid and satisfying ; A wide selection of excellent characters to choose from; Ample reason to replay the campaign for unlockables ; Honours and builds upon the classic series' legacy ;

The campaign can be finished very quickly ; Lack of voice acting removes the charm of some moments ;
