A near perfect fighting game that makes the future of the genre look bright — Street Fighter 6 review
It's been quite a wait, but fans all around the world will finally be able to play the complete version of Street Fighter 6 when it launches on June 2 for the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Steam. Capcom has provided me with an early review copy of the game, and I've already logged in many hours exploring just about all there is in Street Fighter 6.
Those that were around during Street Fighter 5's launch might remember just how barren that game initially felt of features back in early 2016.
