Street Fighter 6 is the best game of the year. Yes, 2023 is indeed an incredible year for game releases (though certainly not for the industry as a whole, which has endured round after round of brutal layoffs), but even with such fierce competition , “Street Fighter 6” is still standing.
Or, at least that’s what I say. I know Dom agrees with me because I’m a mind reader, but also because they pre-recorded some thoughts on how awesome it is. As such, the opinions presented here may differ from some of the other iGamesNews GOTYs selected by other staff members – but Street Fighter 6 is the only one to have the Editor-in-Chief’s backing. Not even Baldur’s Gate has such an advantage. So — turn it off.
Street Fighter 6 does it all. It has it all. This is a tour de force for a beloved series that respects the past but focuses on the future. It’s well-polished, well-positioned, and a great platform to host a generation of expansion and competition. It’s quite possibly the best fighting game ever made.
If you want to know the full reason why Street Fighter is so popular, we’ve prepared a short video for you to watch that waxes lyrical about its awesomeness.
After reading this, you should consider visiting iGamesNews’s Street Fighter 6 archive. These include our five-star review of the game upon launch, thoughts on the effectiveness of modern controls, and praise for the game’s story mode. For the sake of balance, here’s some worryingly negative news about the state of the game’s paid DLC – a sin that Capcom needs to ponder in 2024.
