Critic Reviews
- Rev 2 has a lot of new content for returning players to dig into for a low cost, and the Guilty Gear Xrd package as a whole should be enticing to newcomers, even if Rev 2 itself doesn’t have a whole lot of new things for them to do. The fighting is fast, complex, and fun, and it features one of the best on-ramps for fighting games this generation. If you have a penchant for anime, belt buckles, and an endless love of guitar metal, Rev 2 has a lot to offer.
Suriel Vazquez · Jun 07, 2017 Reviewed on PS4 - At its core, Rev 2 is more or less the same game as Revelator. While that might seem like a damning statement at first, given the excellence of the original, it’s not entirely a bad thing. Still, I must confess that there is a creeping feeling that this glorified update is lacking in content, though the discounted full price and the option to purchase an upgrade for owners of Revelator makes it easier to recommend.
Jae Lee · Jun 07, 2017 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 was a game that made me want to improve it because I appreciated it so much. It’s good. Like, really good. That’s all there is to it, honestly! Whether you’re new to the series (or even the genre), or have been brawling it out for years, REV 2 is a definite must-have for anyone looking for their next fighting game fix.
Kenny McKee · Jun 06, 2017 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 remains just about the final word in the genre for balance, fighting systems and training modes. Literally the one major stumbling block for this entry in particular is how little it actually offers returning players. Anyone yet to try the Guilty Gear series who enjoys fighting games owes it to themselves to check out Xrd Rev 2.
Alex Jackson · May 29, 2017 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 is being published both as a standalone title with the full package (at a bargain compared to other just launched fighters) as well as a DLC pack for half the price for owners of the last game. Because of this, existing fans and newcomers are both getting the best deal. This is a title that comes highly recommended to anyone with a penchant for fast, flashy fighters on the 2D plane.
Jason Bohn · May 25, 2017 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Guilty Gear is a hardcore fighter, both to its benefit and its detriment. On the one hand, fighting game players will adore Guilty Gear for its fast paced gameplay, beautiful art style and deep tools for learning advanced techniques, but for anyone not either immersed in fighting games or the Guilty Gear series it’s a tough, if not impossible sell. A wonderful game, but not one likely to earn any new fans.
Dave Aubrey · May 24, 2017 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Easy to play but far harder to master, this game’s cast of ridiculous characters, improbable moves, heavy rock soundtrack and accessible fight mechanics will keep you engaged and challenged. Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 is an excellent brawler which deserves your attention.
Chris Mc · May 24, 2017 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Guilty Gear Xrd is possibly the best fighter out right now. It took three tries to round up this cast (and you can bet your bottom dollar there will be DLC or a Rev 3), but the cycle is complete. With one of the best tutorials outside of Skullgirls it won't even be that hard to break in, either.
Chris Carter · May 23, 2017 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - With all the above taken into account, Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 is another fun, action packed installment in the franchise. Despite some hiccups with samey designs and lacking character introduction, the pros more than outweigh the flaws in what is a wonderfully put together fighting game from top to bottom. Honestly, I wouldn’t blame you for feeling guilty if you didn’t pick it up.
Ethan Butterfield · Jun 22, 2017 Reviewed on PC, PS4, PS3Read full review - I hope more people give this series a chance. It’s funny how a nice looking limited edition got me into one of the best fighting game series out there. I’ve had a blast playing online and offline and will be playing this for a long time unlike certain other fighting games. Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 is a league above most of the competition in every aspect and one of the best fighting games available today.
