I really liked this game,even more than the previous game of the series.

It takes all the good things of KOF XIV and adds more stuff to make it better:

-A very diverse roster, featuring characters from diferent eras of the franchise, including some characters that have been absent from mainline KOF games for a long time.
-Better visuals than the previous game, is not KOF XIII levels of good, but this is better than what we got in KOF XIV and is probably the best looking SNK game with 3D models.
-Changes to the EX moves: Just like in KOF XIII you can use EX moves without needing to be on Max mode, and unlike KOF XIII EX moves cost half bar now instead of a full bar.
-Changes to Max mode: now your character will automatically run when you activate max mode, wich makes things easier for beginners who want to start playing a KOF game. And if you activate Max mode during neutral, you get a damage buff and you can do very damaging combos, even touch of death combos.
-New mechanic: Shatter Strike:
This mechanic reminds me of the Focus attack of SF IV, is an armored attack that puts the oponent in a crumbling state on hit, and can be used in the middle of a combo to extend it. If the move connects it uses half bar, if it misses it uses a full bar.
-Game has Rollback netcode, wich makes online matches much more playable compared to matches in a lot of other fighting games released in this past generation of consoles.
-You can Unlock songs from previous games of the franchise, and also songs from other SNK games(including Fatal fury, Art of Fighting, Samurai Shodown, Metal Slug and many more), you can use these songs during your online matches thanks to DJ Station.

-Autocombos are still present in this game and can't be turned off(however they don't do too much damage)
-For a fighting game released in 2022, it has very little single player content, besides Story mode(wich is actually the arcade mode of this game) you only have mission mode and training.
-The menus are kinda bland


Over all I will recomend the game to every KOF fan and to people who like fighting games, especially for those who want to play a fighting game online.

This is one of those games that I enjoyed it more than what I was expecting.

Despite it being Simpler than other fighting games is actually really fun.

I seriously wish it had better netcode

By the time I write this review I'm close to having 30 hours into the game(wich isn't a lot considering the things you can do in it)

There are some things in this game that normally would make me mad(Invisible walls, very slow begining of the game, etc). But I'm still enjoying this game.

This is a Brawler, but it's also a heavy story driven game.

You have the main story wich is dark and very serious, with twists and good characters, this is the strongest point of the game(also I'm gonna apreciate the voice acting, even if it's only in japanese it's very good) Just be aware that there will be times where you have to drop your controller to watch the cutscenes of the story, so go grab some snacks while you are playing.

Besides the main story there are side stories you find casually in the map. These are more interactible than the main story and can make you laugh because they can be very ridiculous and absurd.

As for the Combat of the game, is good for a brawler, the best part of this are the heath actions, these are finishing moves you can do on the enemies, these are brutal and funny(if you like dark humor like me). Some of these heath actions depend on what object you are grabing, or if you grab your enemy near something like a wall or a car.

Also if you get bored of fighting or progressing in the story, there are a lot of mini-games you can try at various places in the map, things like a karaoke rythm game, a Dance mini game that also can be funny because of the animations of the characters,there are full ports of old Sega arcade games and more mini games.

Since this game is a prequel to the other Yakuza games, is a good starting point.

The newer changes in the last seasons made this game more enjoyable than before. While this is not my favorite game in the series, it is good now.

Already played this game in console before, but tried this version because of the 60 fps.

This is one of the last good Sonic games.
It has a lot of fanservice for sonic fans.
The levels where well adaptated to both styles of gameplay that are in the game. Same thing with the bosses.

The only problem is that there are not too many main levels, and the main game is really short.(You can finish the main story in 1 or 3 hours max).

I still recomend it for every sonic fan.

As a note, I would recomend playing the game with a gamepad. And also would recomend checking how to configure the pad, because there is a bug that dosen't let configure the pad from the game's launcher, even if it is a pad with xInput.

after playing over 40 hours, it made me realize how bad I am at tag team fighting games....
that being said, the game is good

EVEN IF YOU ARE A BIG FAN OF DRAGON BALL, PLEASE AVOID THIS DLC.
The song selection is good but they are not using the full versions of the songs, they are using the short versions from TV wich makes them very repetitive and annoying during an actual match(ecxept for Solid State Scouter, that is the only good song in this DLC).

This has to be one of the games that is really fun despite of how simplistic it is and how much content it has.

Basically the goal is knock out the other players by hitting them with a ball like in dodge ball.

You can play this game up to four players making it a really fun experiense(kinda like when you play Smash Bros with your buddies).

Also another good aspect of this game is the art style, wich is kinda similar to the urban style of games like Jet Set Radio. And also the music sets the mod really well.

I would recomend this game.

Guacamelee is a really good game that needs to be played for all of those who love metroidvania style games.

-Beat them up style combat.
-Really Good Soundtrack.
-Clever puzzles.
-Gorgeous visuals(wich are inspired by Mexican culture).
-A lot of references to pop culture that can make you laugh.
-Lots of replay Value.

-Story is short.
-Controls dosen't respond well at times(Only if you are playing with the keyboard.)

One of the best entries in the Kof Franchise, if not the best entry in the series.

The King of Fighters 2002 UM has one of the biggest rosters ever seen in a fighting game(66 characters)
It can be played casually or in a serious way, it's easy to learn.



The only problem with this port is the online mode.
