GUILTY GEAR Xrd REV 2

“This game has the most beautiful 3D modelling in fighting games and games in general; a touching, sophisticated and fully voiced story with all lovable casts; a gallery that has music from old games, accompanied by behind-the-scenes insights from the voice actors; refined system mechanics, almost balanced, and wide variety of character designs; well-executed missions and combo section to help new players and veterans from other games learn the ropes; rollback netcode with an active enough community to be able to play at any time in the day, and big discount when it goes on sale.”

“Highly diversified characters, satisfying combos with good feedback, a great tutorial + combo introduction for each character, a godly art style and soundtrack, buttery smoothness, 1f input lag, blitz loading screens, a+ voice acting, lovable cast, significant story mode with lore encyclopedia.”

“Rather than it being a visual novel-esque/fight based story mode, it is much more like an anime in which players simply watch the story to its end. While that doesn't seem engaging, the game does provide incentive for finishing the story mode.”

“The soundtrack deserves special mention, featuring a high-energy mix of rock, metal, and electronic music that perfectly complements the game’s fast-paced action and anime-inspired aesthetic.”

“In the matter of soundtrack, the title carries high quality metal songs from both Xrd and previous Guilty Gear games, improving on the action of the already blazing fast game, and with references to existing music from real bands, like "Keep Yourself Alive", Sol's theme, which references the Queen song of the same name, and adds to the fact that the character's favorite band is Queen, and with "Magnolia Éclair", Ky's theme which contains a nod to Judas Priest's "Electric Eye"; those things make the game's director and composer, Daisuke Ishiwatari, love for this culture shine.”

“The soundtrack is absolutely astonishing with upbeat electric guitar and drums pumping adrenaline through every match, and the graphical style of Revelator is simply a sight to behold.”

“The anime visuals, character animations, and stage designs feel alive in a way most modern fighters still struggle to match.”

“Utilizing a unique combination of 3d models and cel-shading techniques, the game achieves an art style that looks like hand-drawn anime brought to life in full 3d.”

“The graphics of this game are insanely good; I've never seen another game that so successfully captures the effect of 2d sprites using 3d models.”

“Xrd Rev 2 isn't afraid to be silly and funny at times, and I love it for that.”

“I can't help but burst out laughing when these types of things happen.”

“I literally fell in love with all the characters because of how diverse they can be—from Johnny being the coolest dude, to Raven being the psycho yet weird one, to Faust being a funny doctor.”

“Every character design, their movements, and their character writing ooze personality like no other fighter does.”

“Character designs are amazing and meld anime tropes with a unique metal aesthetic.”

“This game has the most beautiful 3D modelling in fighting games and games in general; a touching, sophisticated and fully voiced story with all lovable casts; a gallery that has music from old games, accompanied by behind-the-scenes insights from the VAs; refined system mechanics, almost balance, and wide variety of character designs; well-executed missions and combo section to help new players and veterans from other games learn the ropes; rollback netcode with an active enough community to be able to play at any time in the day, and big discount when it goes on sale.”

“Excellent optimization.”

“The performance boost this game got from the beta also helps it massively, to the point where even my potato PC runs it flawlessly.”

“Incredible optimization, I can play at 2560x1440 with everything at max settings at around 55/70 fps with a GTS 250 of 10 years ago.”

“Learning the intricacies of each fighter, from their basic moves to advanced techniques, is a rewarding challenge that enhances replayability.”

“Other modes such as missions, survival, and online multiplayer add to the game’s longevity and replay value, catering to both casual and competitive audiences.”

“Stable and beautifully presented with a good amount of content and complex gameplay that allows for a huge amount of replayability.”

“No real money microtransactions.”

“So remember, in purchasing this game you're not just receiving a masterfully crafted fighting game and supporting triple A development that doesn't nickel and dime you to death with meaningless microtransactions, you're also supporting one of the finest waifu production houses on the planet.”

“The narrative is deep and full of memorable characters, providing context and emotional stakes that elevate the fighting experience.”

“The after stories are wholesome and hilarious.”

“You guys just know how to keep your game great, the story still so emotional and the improvement in the gameplay system is so cool, you made Guilty Gear great again with the Xrd games. Great job and keep it up, I give it 200/10, it's just great.”

“I use this mostly for development work in Linux, and decided to try this game on Linux with the open source drivers, and it runs great.”

“This game runs great and looks spectacular!”

“The game runs great, netcode is even better than sign, and now I'm able to play against guys who I previously couldn't play against due to my ISP blocking some ports. This is a very great improvement from sign.”

“The atmosphere and character designs in this game are all amazing.”

“Composed by Daisuke Ishiwatari, the music perfectly captures the intense and energetic atmosphere of the game.”

“The thumping, guitar-heavy soundtrack adds atmosphere and tension to fights.”
