The fighting genre was mediocre at best this year. With Mortal Kombat unable to dominate and Street Fighter falling by the wayside, there’s not much to pick from. There were some strong 2D fighters this year as it seems 3D fighters have left us for good.
The King of Fighters XIV
The King of Fighters XIV stands out on top as the best package this year for fighters. My second closest was Guilty Gear, but KoF enhanced it’s gameplay so much and made the fight system so much easier to wield. The game looks amazing, all characters got upgraded, and there are plenty of modes to play through.
