Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- (PS4)

still no review? LOL sorry ^^
The latest entry is the best in the series so far imo - the graphics are simply put stunning, never ever saw a smoother, more detailed and better animated 2D Fighter before - not even close! The Soundtrack is bombastic as one would expect, the Gameplay is where the game really shines, every Character is unique and worth to invest training in.
The best feature about this game is - Story Mode! Seriously!
First, finish Arcade Mode wth every Character, then jump into Story Mode. Besides Mortal Kombat 9 and X I have never ever experienced a better Story in any Fighting Game. Its more like a visual novel, but more like an anime movie actually, fully animated, with top voice acting, and the story itself offers extremely much Info for Fans and is very tense (huge Cliffhanger though).
My downside with the game are the missing Characters - where are all my beloved Heroes? Dizzy, Testament, Justice, Kliff, Bridget, Baiken, ... nearly half of the roster of the previous installments is missing!!!! There can only be one reason for this: Arc System Works will release several small updates to this - like GGX before, always adding 2 to 3 Characters to the roster .... super annoying.
But still - it has lots of awesome game modes for single and multiplayer, unlockables and very much fan service (an encyclopedia for example to look certain things up).
All in all I would give it an 8/10 - the Fan inside me wanted to give it a 9, but with so much missing favourite Characters (some of them you actually see in the game but cant play them - like in MKX) and the strange online multiplayer Lobby theres some things that still need to be improved - the next Installment just released in Japan Arcades (calles GGXrd - Revelator) so theres something to look forward to ^^
