Streets of Rage 4 delivers a fun, traditional experience but prioritises nostalgia over any kind of modern reinvention.
Streets of Rage doesn't do much to innovate, but it's a beautiful brawler with just enough depth to stay engaging through multiple runs.
Glorious artwork and a fan's eye for detail combine for a sequel that manages to best its forebears.
An excellent return to form for gaming's favourite beat 'em-up franchise and while it doesn't represent much evolution from the original games it's still just as much fun as ever.
Streets of Rage 4 is a fun stroll down memory lane, but it doesn't have enough depth to completely pull players in
Streets of Rage 4 expertly revives a beloved beat-'em-up franchise with great music, visuals, and most importantly, solid gameplay.
Streets of Rage 4 is a small, concentrated hit of beat 'em up excellence. While its length and lack of extra modes might make this offering seem slim, it makes up for it with brilliant fighting, effusive style, and another solid set of tunes. If beat 'em up games are seeing a revival, Streets of Rage 4 is leading the charge.
