What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
But for me, the lack of any meaningful changes to the game's core system mechanics has effectively diminished my interest in continuing to play the game consistently (ranked grind etc.) despite Season 3's interesting roster choices with unique gameplay, such as Sagat and C.
The game's netcode is definitely best in class, bordering on wizardry, and I have usually never been more annoyed by lag than by my opponent's shenanigans.
But if u r not into graphics try guilty gear strive or avatar legends instead, i feel like its more responsive, it is easier to hit circle/ult moves there with same input, felt more clear to me idk.
There is a good amount of singleplayer content, and the multiplayer content has some amount of variety as well.
The game is also incredibly optimized and the open worlds runs from 38-50/53 degrees Celsius on the CPU , and around 38-48 on the GPU,This can also depend on the mode you play, I think arcade runs around 38-41 / battlehub is more or less the same as open world, probably to ensure competitive edge is always there.

Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
