Amid the prevailing news about the next installment of Doom, the iconic title from the 1990s. - the news on the release of another classic from that era got lost somehow. Of course, we mean Streets of Rage 4. Back in a day, it was a fairly popular series of beat'em up games published by Sega that could be found in arcade parlors. Playing as Axel Stone or another expressive figure, players roamed the streets of a city full of thugs, doing justice with a fist and a kick to the beat of a pulsating soundtrack. Exactly the same can be expected of Streets of Rage 4, released 26 years after the third installment.

Players will meet the same characters only this time in an entirely new story with beautiful, comics like visuals. The animations may not be very smooth, but it's a nod to the old days and the style of the time. There are groups of diverse opponents, changing locations, bosses, and combos to learn. The game is not long, but it will change our platform into an arcade machine for a while. And for dessert, there's a co-op mode you can play with your friends.
