Street Fighter 6 has been out for about a week now on PS5 and PS4, bringing Capcom's iconic fighting game franchise back with a bang. The brawler has received incredibly high praise from just about everyone; critics gave it some outstanding review scores and players — both professional and casual — seem to be having a blast.
Obviously, a week isn't long enough to properly judge a fighting game and its potential as a mainstay of the scene, but we'd still like to hear your thoughts on Street Fighter 6 up until this point.
We gave it an 'excellent' 9/10 in our Street Fighter 6 PS5 review, lauding its robust suite of modes, while also heaping praise on its core gameplay mechanics. "Street Fighter 6 is an absolute humdinger of a sequel," is what we wrote.

Honestly think it's a 10. Sure the menus are a bit difficult to navigate but that's because they packed in so much stuff! Plus the gameplay and presentation are all excellent! This is a game that will likely be in my rotation for many years to come.
Gave it a 9. Been having a blast with it in all modes. My online experience has been fine.
I haven't bought it solely for the reason that if I wait a year they would have released super, hyper and every other variant that comes with street fighter. Plus my mate has it so can still kick his ass
@QualityGeezer New iterations of the game are free updates now. It's the character passes you have to worry about.
Extraordinary game, when I'm not playing it I'm thinking about it! Absolutely love it!
I've only managed to play it twice so far. Once with my young nephew who button mashed so fast I thought my Dualsense was going to burst into flames. The other was a bit of a drunk session with a friend in which we both admitted we were pretending we were playing Super Turbo (ignoring any more recent mechanics or strats). I haven't even started the RPG mode yet. It does seem very good, though. And thanks to the difficulty settings and beginner control scheme, my nephew could beat Zangief's arcade mode by literally doing nothing but spinning piledrivers.
I’d give it maybe an 8/10 so far, but that’s with very little time spent with the game. I’m sorry, but TotK is too good to put down!
At least a 9, I've not had as much time to play as I'd have liked but everything I've played so far has been fantastic. The core fighting mechanics are perfect, it's accessible for newcomers and returning players, the new World Tour mode is surprisingly good fun and it's gorgeous to look at
@get2sammyb
Likewise and the last Street Fighter I played was 2 on the SNES!
It’s superb and completely stopped me playing TOTK.
It feels good to ten something, especially when it’s so well deserved.
Was going to delay getting this, I'm not the best fan of character seasons, and after getting stung, in my opinion, on day 1 SF5s lack of single player content, but if this has a lot to do, I may get it sooner. FF16 though.....
@Skywalker1080p Don't worry about a lack of content in this one, it's practically bursting with things to do!
@get2sammyb
Just looked around, can be had for just over £40!!!
Tempting. FF16 though....😁
@Hundred_Hand_Slap @Hundred_Hand_Slap I'm more a tekken man so cant wait for that
Easy 10/10. Probably the best fighter not just of the modern age, but will probably end up being the best fighter of all time. The style, the gameplay, and the amount of content here surpasses even NRS games imo and is close to Smash's amount. Having a fantastic so far and I can't wait to dive in even deeper when I have time
Seems to be top notch.
I do not play fighting games but glad to see it in the mix with jedi, F1, Diablo and FF16
Action Adventure, racing, fighting, jRPG, wRPG... pick your poison - good times 👍
I haven’t played it but I can’t help but laugh at the “abysmal” having 4% of the votes. First off, Capcom is killing it right now, so I’m sure it’s a great game. Second, it’s Street Fighter one of the best fighting games ever.
Is it better than Guilty Gear Strive? That’s the benchmark for me so far this generation.
This looks really good. I do kind of wish they would have a SF2 Turbo mode though, so I can play without having to learn the last 30 years of advancements.
Easily the best foghting game I've ever played and I've been playing since the first Street Fighter.
@get2sammyb I've never seen a fighting game so b full of content. I just discover the arcade cabinets. Played some Final Fight. What a package.
I gave it a 9. I’ll be playing this for a good while.
@thefourfoldroot1 If it helps, it has an emulated version of Street Fighter 2 in it! Haha!
I’d have to go with a 10. It’s brilliant AND it tries new things!
Haven’t bought it yet, but i want it. It’s the first fighting game I’ve wanted to play in a long time. Happy to see how good the reviews are. I need a fighting stick for it tho. Neither my PS5 or Xbox controller seem like a great solution.
The gameplay, graphics/design, and online netcode are a 10 for me. The one area I would have liked to see more effort put into was arcade mode and each fighter's story.
10/10, making a serious run at being my favorite game on both PS5 and Xbox Series X (I double dipped). I mostly play single player and this one is much more packed with stuff to do out of the gate than V was. Enjoying the Arcade mode and extreme battle scenarios in Fighting Ground and World Tour is surprising fun as well. My only complaint would be the music. Some, like Ken's new theme, Kimberly's theme and Manon's are fun to listen to but I don't care for most of the rest, really miss Cammy's and Ryu's old songs. Still, that's a minor issue, it's a fantastic game overall.
I feel silly because it's week 1, but I gave it a 10. They've done a great job. I feel like I'll be hadouken-ing for years on this one.
Really happy because I loved 4 but 5 just jive with me at all. So this is lovely!
This and MK1 are showing a true fighting game renaissance. With Tekken coming soon we just need a new Soul Calibur and I'd be very happy. Also, where the hell is my CAPCOM VS. SNK 1 & 2 COLLECTION!?!?
This is another 10/10 from Capcom for me this year. Street Fighter VI totally met all of expectations and then some, and if any game can get me to finally learn and invest in a fighting game it is this one.
I have almost 100 percented World Tour, and I'm climbing my way to Gold in Ranked. I'm having an incredible time.
A 10/10 for me. I could not wish for anything more. Just wish I could play with my all time favourite character Akuma sooner... Oh, well. I'll just piledriver the heck out of everyone until the raging demon arrives.
I'm looking forward to picking this one up in a few months. Too many games and not enough time at the moment which is actually getting a bit frustrating. I'm not paying full whack for a game that is going to sit unplayed though so I'm staying disciplined on this!
Easy 10/10. This is probably my favorite fighting game to watch and play since Guilty Gear Strive. Absolutely beautiful and absolutely loving it.
@QualityGeezer Same plan here, there will always be a complete package bundle with all Character DLC.
Not to mention the fact I'm terrible at fighting games haha! I'll probably just watch someone else play it even if I do buy the game.
