First Reviews of Street Fighter 6 - Franchise Reaching New Heights

The first reviews of the fighting game Street Fighter 6 have appeared online. The new installment of the iconic series is excellent and is expected to be a game for everyone. Capcom can boast another success.

The eagerly awaited continuation of the iconic fighting game series Street Fighter will debut in just two days. Reviewers are trying to help us dispel doubts about the game's quality, which is made easier by the fact that they are almost unanimous. Street Fighter 6 will hit PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X on June 2.

Many reviewers have already shared their opinion on SF6. In their opinion, the series, which began in the 1980s, is currently experiencing a renaissance.

Street Fighter 6 - selected reviews

  • GameSpot - 9/10
  • IGN - 90/100
  • GamesRadar - 100/100
  • PC Gamer - 89/100
  • TheSixthAxis - 10/10
  • Eurogamer - 80/100

Currently average reviewer ratings on Metacritic for Street Fighter 6 is 92/100. Most of the critics noted a certain breath of freshness and a surprising attention to solutions to convince first-time players to play the game.

"Capcom's flagship fighter is back in form with intricate but approachable fighting mechanics and a feature-rich package." - GameSpot

"Street Fighter 6 doesn’t need recommending to hardcore fighting fans – you all already know how incredible it is – but do I recommend it for more casual players?

Street Fighter 6 has a real sense of community, welcoming all players old and new, teaching new tricks and providing something for those that just want a bit of fun. This is truly a fighting game for everyone." - TheSixthAxis

"Smooth online matches and an impressively in-depth story alone place Street Fighter 6 high above the competition." - Rock, Paper, Shotgun

The game is not free of flaws, of course. Some critics couldn't get past the sometimes overly casual approach to the experience and the gameplay monetization system.

"Minor technical issues and questionable monetization ruin what is otherwise one of the best fighting games we've seen in the last decade." - PC Gamer

"If you’re the type who loves a grind and enjoys the prospect of wailing on a bunch of civilians to make numbers go up, this mode has that. If you want to play through some really fun stories featuring your favorite Street Fighter heroes and villains, that’s one of World Tour’s biggest draws.

But if you’re interested in a tight, satisfying fighting game experience, World Tour isn’t quite that, and it sucks because a mode geared toward people who don’t want to be FGC experts shouldn’t so often feel frustrating and insurmountable for reasons that go beyond how fighting games typically play.

I wonder if World Tour will put more casual fans off at least as much as it draws them in." - Kotaku

It seems that fans of Street Fighter can sleep soundly in anticipation of the official release of the sixth installment and gamers looking for a new experience should also seriously consider buying Capcom's upcoming work.

A student of Film and Multimedia with a specialization in Game Design and Development, deeply follows the blurring boundary between these two worlds. Sometimes, embarrassingly, appreciates style over substance. In the case of media, more often than not, goes to extremes; she can never choose between documentaries and horror films, and cozy games, life simulators, and animations. You will find her playing old-school consoles and indie gems rather than AAA titles. Devotes her free time to her love of fashion and art in a broader sense. Believes that the plot is the most crucial element of a game, and the most compelling stories are the ones inspired by everyday life.
