Street Fighter 6 is one of the most anticipated games of 2023 and one fighting game fans have had eyes on for over a year. After the disastrous launch of Street Fighter 5, all eyes are on Capcom to see if they can recapture the glory of this competitive icon. Thankfully, the team stuck the landing this time, as Street Fighter 6 is one of the best titles of 2023 thus far.
Street Fighter 6 earned a Mighty OpenCritic Rating, with one of the highest scores on the platform in 2023. The fighting title currently sits at a 92 Top Critic Average, with 98% of critics recommending the title.
The reception for the latest entry in the Street Fighter franchise is especially impressive, considering how poorly Street Fighter V’s release went. Back in 2016, Street Fighter V launched with a 75 OpenCritic Average, with only 48% of critics recommending it. It’s also worth noting the fighting game community’s disdain for Street Fighter V at launch, thanks to its lackluster content offerings and character pool.
