Street Fighter 5 Review

This game gets a lot of flak, but at the end of the day, it’s a solid Street Fighter game and does many things right despite it hitching on to the “loot box bandwagon.” The first thing you need to know is that the days of “Super Ultra Turbo Arcade Edition” are over. Buying the core game gives you access to the core fighters and all future balance patches. This means you won’t need to buy “Super SF5.” I really can’t stress this enough; if all you want to play is Ryu, congratulations! You’ve bought him (and all the other core fighters) forever!

Each season, Capcom releases additional characters, and while you can buy them with in-game currency, the costs are pretty exorbitant. However, the entire character pack per season is priced similarly to expansion packs of olden days. The difference now is that they are optional. The game has a ton of cosmetic DLC, as well, though don’t let that intimidate you as it’s not really necessary to play and you can pick and choose the specific items you want if you care to purchase. I know some people feel wronged by this, but the game is continuously supported through balance patches and, honestly, devs gotta eat.

If you’re looking for a single player experience, the game has arcade and story modes, as well as tutorials, lessons, and combo trials- in case you want to learn the finer points of fighting games. I wish I could say more on that, but it’s single-player offerings don’t really grab me in the way Netherrealm Studios or Arc Systems games do.

The game isn’t without flaws. Color palettes are locked behind in-game currency and the prices are ridiculous. Then, there’s the whole boondoggle with Ad Costumes, which Capcom seems to have quietly rolled back (no official word on if we’ll see them again, but none saying they’re gone for good either).

Overall, if you’re a Street Fighter fan and have a couple of friends to regularly play with, you’re going to have a good time with this one.
