7 Best Fighting Games For The PS5
Play the best fighting games on the PlayStation 5 and get into a fight.
Fighting games have been around since the beginning of video games, and they have changed with each new age. People who haven’t played them before might think they’re easy, but it takes a lot of time and work to really learn even one fighting game character, let alone several.
But you don’t have to be an expert on personalities to enjoy these games. Most games have different game modes and rewards that help you get into the game, no matter how good you are. On the PS5, there are a lot of action games to choose from, but which ones are the best?
Guilty Gear Strive
If you grew up with the PlayStation, you may be familiar with the Guilty Gear series, which started on the PS1. The hard rock music is one thing that makes it stand out. But it doesn’t always take itself too seriously, as shown by the fact that the main character’s last name is “Badguy.”
Guilty Gear Strive has a strong cast of characters that all feel and play differently. Unlike many other fighting games, it doesn’t have any duplicate characters. The fighting system is also easy for new players to grasp, and the sprites and movements are just the right mix of smooth and flashy to make battles always feel fun and interesting.
Tekken 7
Tekken games aren’t known for being easy to get good at, and Tekken 7 is no different. But if you want a challenge or just want to try something new, this game is well worth the time. Its rules are deep and complicated, but once you get past the first obstacle, it’s surprisingly fun to try to beat.
The fact that both the characters and the stadiums are in 3D adds some interesting features that you won’t find in many other fighting games, like the ability to sidestep. Some people say that you just have to keep pressing buttons to win fighting games, but if you try that with Tekken 7, you’ll probably lose.
The King Of Fighters 15
The King of Fighters 15 is different from most other fighting games right away because it is played in teams of three. When characters go against each other in rounds of three vs. three, things quickly become a lot more random and fun. There are 39 different characters you can play as, and the team system lets you try them all out without feeling as overwhelmed as you might if you had to play each one separately.
Even though most of the fighting is done with hands and feet, there are a lot of cool visual effects for every move you make. The game’s netcode is pretty good, so lag doesn’t slow them down. This makes for a smooth experience.
Soulcalibur 6
Even if you’ve played other Soulcalibur games, Soulcalibur 6 has some new ways to play. The super-offensive Soul Charge and the defensive Reversal Edge give you more ways to beat your opponent. Soulcalibur is also known for its weapon-based gameplay. Characters fight with normal weapons, but they can also use whip-like swords and sharp hoops that hurt the user as well.
In Character Creation, you can give these tools to any character you make. This is a fun feature that most other fighting games don’t have. Also, it’s always fun to see which guest character from another series shows up in each game. Geralt from The Witcher is this game’s guest character.
Dragon Ball FighterZ
This fast-paced cartoon fighter is a great addition to the world of fighting games, whether or not you like Dragon Ball. You fight in groups of three, and the 24 characters you get in the base game let you make a lot of different teams. With all the DLC figures, that number jumps to a whopping 44.
Dragon Ball is known for scenes where characters show off their power in a ridiculous way, and FighterZ keeps that to a T. If you like the show, it will satisfy that need. And if you don’t, you’ll still get to play a fun fighting game with lots of moves and effects.
BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle
BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle lets you fight in teams of two. Which is a good middle ground between one-versus-one and three-versus-three. Unlike in Basket Random, you can switch between the two characters you’ve chosen whenever you want. This gives you a lot of room for unique plans by switching between different character combos.
Even if you’ve never played a BlazBlue game before. You might know some of the characters in this one, like the main character from Persona 4 and Ruby from RWBY. So, you’ll most likely start with someone you know. Even if you’ve never played a fighting game before. It’s easy to understand how it works, so you’ll feel right at home when you play it.
Grandblue Fantasy: Versus
Granblue Fantasy is a popular RPG mobile game in Japan. But you might not have tried it because of the gacha part, even if it is good. Granblue Fantasy: Versus is a good way to get a feel for how the characters and ideas work. Even the fighting game has some RPG aspects. Because you can level up your characters and their weapons.
This addition gives the game a unique new layer that goes beyond how well you know how to play a character. But the game doesn’t rely too much on that feature. Because it also has a good fighting system that is good for both newbies and old hands.
