PlayStation 4 Critic Reviews

If you are willing to put the work into the game, then Guilty Gear Xrd -Sign- is awesome, simply awesome. It’s a game that you will be playing for years to come, not just a flavor of the week.

Stunning, entertaining and essential for anyone who enjoys a scrap. [Issue#253, p.60]

Guilty Gear is still one of the most badass fighting franchises out there, and Xrd -Sign- honors that legacy. It looks breathtaking, the action is constant and in-your-face, and although the roster is smaller than I'd like, there is a lot of variation to be found once you start digging into the game.

A triumphant return for a fighting series that stayed in hiding for an entire generation. Arc System Works has laid a visual salvo with 3D models that animate like 2D art. Combined with the amazing soundtrack and technical gameplay, Xrd is a great fighter.

Even with some minor flaws, Guilty Gear Xrd SIGN is the best entry in the series to date.

Guilty Gear Xrd provides groundbreaking graphics, superb gameplay and a powerful sound section. It is the best title released by Arc System to date, plus a fantastic fighting game.

Outrageously pretty. [Feb 2015, p.108]

Guilty Gear Xrd is an easy game to recommend to any fighting game enthusiast and a brilliant entry point to the series, and those with a passing interest in the genre will learn a lot from the excellent tutorials.

The unfamiliar battle system may put some newcomers off, but those who don't mind putting in a little practice will be well-rewarded with one of the best and freshest fighters in ages. That it's also one of the most absurdly good-looking titles in years is just gravy on top of a pretty damned special meal.

This is the best title ever done by Ark System Works, a 2D fighting game you cannot miss if you're a fan of the genre.
