Street Fighter V

The core gameplay of Street Fighter V is enjoyable, but there just isn't enough here to recommend. The main story is locked until you download additional content(!), and so I first checked out the character stories. I was disappointed to find just how short these were. The typical character story consists of four single-round fights sandwiched between a series of brief cutscenes.

During my time playing Street Fighter V, I also noticed how heavily the game subjects the player to advertisements, promotions and pop-ups. A free-to-play game may get a pass for this, but it's really inexcusable in a game that I've had to buy.

There's considerably less value for money in this game than other fighters - unless you're a die-hard Street Fighter fan, I'd advise you to check out something like Mortal Kombat X or SoulCalibur VI.
