Guilty Gear has always been massively underappreciated as a fighting game series. The franchise, which first threw punches on the original PlayStation all the way back in 1998, has steadily accumulated an incredibly loyal fanbase over the last couple of decades, but it's never been able to crack a more mainstream crowd. And that's a real shame, because Guilty Gear, at least in its more recent forms, should be revered for its artistic achievements and engrossing gameplay.

However, if you give it chance you will undoubtedly come to love Strive for what it is and not for what it should be. The heart of the Guilty Gear franchise beats strongly in Strive, showing in it’s insanely fun gameplay, and lavishing visuals that puts this as one of the most well crafted fighters to date.

If I was looking for an on-ramp to understanding Guilty Gear or even one-on-one anime fighters, this is the game to do it with; and what’s here looks ready to act as a platform for more to come, as there will no doubt be balance changes and new characters to come. I can lament what it might be missing, but Guilty Gear Strive is also what I needed right now: a good, solid, very online-capable fighting game with plenty of big swords, charging dolphins, and doctors with questionable credentials to go around.

Guilty Gear -Strive- sets a new gold standard for fighting games. Everything from the netcode to the presentation has been polished to a shiny sheen, and its incredibly high skill ceiling will keep players coming back for years to come.

Due to an incredible lineage of games, Arc System Works is renowned for being one the greatest developers in the fighting genre. Recently gaining mainstream success with Dragon Ball FighterZ and BlazBlue, the company has decided to revisit a fan favorite: Guilty Gear. Although it has a strong cult following, the franchise has never managed to replicate the success of its peers and due to this, has maintained a niche title. Looking to obliterate that is Guilty Gear Strive, the most accessible release in the series but will it be able to appeal to both veterans and newcomers?

A series known for its stylized characters and flashy combos is back for another round of fights, but this time a few smart changes make it a lot easier to take in and appreciate what makes it so good in the first place.

Guilty Gear Strive is a beautiful, technically complex fighter that sports a great soundtrack, incredibly varied roster, fantastic teaching tools, and some of the best netcode in the genre all while making Guilty Gear more accessible without sacrificing too much of its technical depth. While its online lobbies need work, it's easily one of the best fighters on the market today. Go buy it and start rockin'.

Perhaps Arc System Works' most famous franchise, Guilty Gear has been through many iterations since the first title released on PlayStation 1. As one of the premier Japanese 2D fighters that brought a great number of mechanics in vogue, from air dashing to the series' exclusive Roman Cancels, Guilty Gear was immensely inspirational to the Japanese realm of 2D fighters. Since the series' debut, Guilty Gear has made an appearance on each and every PlayStation console and with the launch of the PlayStation 5 comes the first entry on PlayStation 5 (though it's also available on PlayStation 4), Guilty Gear...

I consider myself a bit of a tourist when it comes to fighting games. I have dabbled across many different fighting franchises and achieved a fair level of competency in each one, without ever really putting in the hard yards to master any particular game. Guilty Gear -Strive-, from Arc System Works (Dragon Ball FighterZ), might just be the game to ensnare me into trying to reach a competitive level in a fighting game, because this game bloody slaps. From the striking visuals, robust and dive...

Guilty Gear -Strive- isn’t the most generous fighting game available when it comes to content, but its wonderfully energetic combat makes up for it. Its characters are larger than life, each bringing something new to the table that’s worth exploring before settling on perhaps one or two to truly master. And while it’s the easiest Guilty Gear game to simply pick up and play, there’s a hell of a lot of depth to be discovered by those who wish to compete at a high level. Thanks to brilliant netcode, it’s likely that a lot of fighting game fans will, too....

One of the hands-down coolest fighting games on the scene, Guilty Gear Strive continues the Guilty Gear series’ philosophical question of “what if fighting games were injected with rock n roll?” and continues to answer said question with a resounding “yes”.

Guilty Gear is one of the oldest fighting game franchises around, but it has always lacked behind the more popular titles in the genre, like your Street Fighters or Mortal Kombats. However, Guilty Gear has a devoted following of those who did take the time to sit down and learn its wild mechanics and crazy fast pace. Combined with its very metal and hard rock aesthetic, Guilty Gear was able to carve a niche of its own in the fighting game space. With a brand new entry in the series Guilty Gea...

Guilty Gear Strive is another solid addition to the long-running series, but certain concessions make the overall package feel lacking.

It’s been such an incredibly long road for Guilty Gear. I actually cried in joy when Guilty Gear Xrd was first announced, bringing proper 2D fighting back under the reins Arc System Works. With Strive, my heart still fluttered, but for more than just getting a new fighting game in this franchise I so love. I marvel at what it means for fighting games as a whole. Guilty Gear Strive is a whole new level of beast. It represents the most visually gorgeous, the most full-featured, and the most technically sound that modern 2D fighting games have to offer, and...
