Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Feature-wise quality of life Guilty Gear is a gold standard that should be put on a pedestral.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Not only they're fun to play but they're also really well designed, both aesthetically and story/character-wise.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The roster is expansive, featuring a mix of returning fan favorites and new characters, each with their own unique abilities, strengths, and weaknesses.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics just as in -SIGN- are 3D sprites giving perfect 2D illusion, as everything works in 1080p and even 4K the overall art style is preety enjoyable.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer is pretty well made with its simulated arcade rooms, and the frame-delay netcode used for compensating lag quite good
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I can only speculate it began when someone watched too much shonen anime while playing wildly mistuned guitar in a garage and decided to put them both in a blender and I dare to say some folk may have encountered the name purely due to its pretty rocking soundtrack.
