Games Menu: Streets of Rage 4

Were back with Games Menu with a look at Streets of Rage 4.

After many failed attempts to revive the franchise, Streets of Rage 4 finally arrives after over 20 years of waiting continuing 10 years later as the children of Mr X attempt to retake the city. Drafting in Axel, Blaze and Adam along with a couple of new fighters to stop the new threat in a return to the streets of rage in this epic side scrolling beat em up.

Pros
Easy to pick up and easy to get better at.
The art style is beautiful, blending in 90s street style with modern graphics.
Music soundtrack is a masterpiece.
Adding the pixel characters as unlockables is a nice touch.
No one character feels too powerful or too weak.

Cons
Coop isn't fun with strangers especially if they aren't very good.
Felt like there was supposed to be fully voiced cut scenes.
Could've pushed for more characters as opposed to pixel versions from old games.
Costumes would've been great.
More in depth story would be welcomed as well.

Overall
This is the best franchise comeback since Sonic Mania; it's by far the best game I've played this year.
