"Capcom's flagship fighter is back in form with intricate but approachable fighting mechanics and a feature-rich package." - GameSpot
"Street Fighter 6 doesn’t need recommending to hardcore fighting fans – you all already know how incredible it is – but do I recommend it for more casual players?
Street Fighter 6 has a real sense of community, welcoming all players old and new, teaching new tricks and providing something for those that just want a bit of fun. This is truly a fighting game for everyone." - TheSixthAxis
"Smooth online matches and an impressively in-depth story alone place Street Fighter 6 high above the competition." - Rock, Paper, Shotgun
The game is not free of flaws, of course. Some critics couldn't get past the sometimes overly casual approach to the experience and the gameplay monetization system.
"Minor technical issues and questionable monetization ruin what is otherwise one of the best fighting games we've seen in the last decade." - PC Gamer
"If you’re the type who loves a grind and enjoys the prospect of wailing on a bunch of civilians to make numbers go up, this mode has that. If you want to play through some really fun stories featuring your favorite Street Fighter heroes and villains, that’s one of World Tour’s biggest draws.
But if you’re interested in a tight, satisfying fighting game experience, World Tour isn’t quite that, and it sucks because a mode geared toward people who don’t want to be FGC experts shouldn’t so often feel frustrating and insurmountable for reasons that go beyond how fighting games typically play.
I wonder if World Tour will put more casual fans off at least as much as it draws them in." - Kotaku
It seems that fans of Street Fighter can sleep soundly in anticipation of the official release of the sixth installment and gamers looking for a new experience should also seriously consider buying Capcom's upcoming work.
