About the game
An entry in Arc System Works' Guilty Gear series, known for graphics that make 3D models look like 2D animation. Every move hits hard, and Wall Breaks, where you pin an opponent to the wall and smash through it, shift the flow of battle. Series-specific systems like Roman Cancels let you build all kinds of combos. Its rollback netcode makes online matches relatively smooth.
Why we recommend it
A 2D fighting game that's as great to watch as it is to play, with graphics that look lifted straight from an anime and a rock soundtrack.
Good for — Great for: anyone who loves flashy presentation and speedy 2D fights
