3. Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition – Metacritic Score: 88
It wouldn’t be a Street Fighter game without a complete edition of sorts releasing. And so, Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition released earlier in January. It includes all the content from the base game, the Arcade Mode, and Character Passes 1 and 2, adding 12 playable characters and 12 premium costumes to the experience.
Since Street Fighter V was originally criticized for being quite bare bones upon its release, the Arcade Edition has seen a far better reception. It has turned its solid fighting game core to a fully fledged fighting experience that rivals everything else in the genre. The new modes breath live into the single-player, the roster is now extensive, and the excellent mechanics remain. This is the definitive version of Street Fighter V and is the game that the original should have been.
