Streets of Rage 4 first impressions by Mischief Maker 04/30/2020, 10:33am PDT


Just finished it on Easy to unlock all the game modes. Then played stage 1 as Blaze and had a blast.

The experience is the opposite of what I was expecting. I'm liking the gameplay a lot more than I expected, but the art direction and especially the music are awful!

I really like how the enemies can't sneak outside the edge of the screen.

I would say this is a worthy sequel to SoR with all the positives and negatives that implies. This game continues the trajectory from SoR2 to SoR3 of better gameplay and worse aesthetics.
