Blazing Strike (PS5)

The parry system is incredibly satisfying once you get the timing down, and the roster feels like a genuine love letter to 90s arcade fighters. It's tough but fair, and I've already sunk hours into training mode.

Been a minute since a fighter made me feel this nostalgic—the classic arcade-style pacing is spot on, and the cross-dimensional roster keeps every match fresh. The parry timing takes some practice, but once it clicks, you feel unstoppable. Definitely my go-to for couch versus sessions.
