Paul is really good at brawlers. I can see how someone like that could breeze through the story. It took me close to 8 overall.

It's wonderful when something like this turns out well when it could go so, so wrong. I can't wait to play it.
i recently beat SoR2 after not playing it for a few years, while not-sober-at-all, in about an hour or two. seems about right.
Well, if you really enjoy this one you can try the originals in the future. I find that pretty cool to do, too
Review: Streets of Rage 4 - A Perfect Modernisation Of A Beloved Franchise

"Oh, and in case you were wondering, we've compared the Switch version directly with the PlayStation 4 edition, and the game runs identically on both machines (and runs in at the same, silky-smooth 60fps in docked or portable modes) – port specialist Seaven Studio has done a superb job here."

Steam says 15 hours from now. I would assume that is also the time for the console release as well.
My impressions are over on Retronauts. It's my favourite beat-'em-up of all time, supplanting even Streets of Rage 2, for me.
Took me around 2 1/2 hours. You'd really need to blitz through and never die to get through in an hour.
That said, their point, which I made in my own review, is valid -- this is one of the very rare games that gets better with replays.
Darkstation's review to add to it: 5/5

" Streets of Rage 4 left me feeling like a ten-year-old kid playing his Genesis again, while still managing to bring modern gameplay and variety to a classic series. There was no way for me to keep my expectations low with this series returning yet Lizardcube still managed to blow those expectations away. I can say without hesitation that this is the pinnacle of a long-dormant series and genre; a game I'm confident I'll be returning to for years to come. "

Looks like universal acclaim. I've always been more of a Final Fight and Kunio fan but I love all quality beat em ups so definitely a day one purchase.
Debating Switch or PS4. Phew...i guess there is no crossplay, right?
I assume PS4 will be better for online Coop.

honestly, when reading stuff like "stuck in the 90s" i am just shaking my head...
it is a freaking good thing that this is "stuck in the 90s", i don´t need level ups and RPG stuff in a side scrolling brawler. looking forward to the release later, gonna play asap.
its been a long time that a game release got me this hyped.

This is one of the best brawlers ever made. Period. This is the first and only release (aside from something like SOR Remake) that I feel understands what makes games like this work. It's a masterpiece.
...and yeah, stuck in the 90s is a great thing in this case since basically every attempt at a brawler post 1995 fell short. Even solid ones like Scott Pilgrim, which looks amazing, really doesn't play as well as many of the greats. SOR4 does.

Their criticism just further sold me on the game. Sounds perfect.Game Informer said:
Not everything has to add a load of extra shit just for the sake of it.

This is the type of game I just kinda expected would end up between 60-70 score so seeing all those 9's is so awesome. I played the crap out of the old ones on genesis while chillin in my childhood room listening to my Skee-lo I wish CD lol.
When I saw players grabbing each other by mistake I knew they nailed the SOR gameplay.
Only issue I have is the bad voice for Blaze. God, why did they do this???
No kidding. Lizardcube would friggin' murder it with Golden Axe.
Would you say that this is another banger SEGA revival like Monster Boy was?
Ah what am I even asking. Your answer is apparent from your post.
Damn I really wanna avoid buying games right now...
I've seen complaints about this, but can't find any video footage of her. Kinda curious since Blaze is my favorite character.
She is my favourite too. It sucks she sounds like an anime girl instead of a middle aged woman. Just a slightly more mature sounding voice would have been perfect.
Gréât. Will looks amazing if true.
100% I'll be playing switch handheld and on tv it will be Xbox one X.
I ask again / no cross save ?
