Streets of Rage 4
Streets of Rage 4 is a side-scrolling beat 'em up game developed by Dotemu, Lizardcube, and Guard Crush Games and published by Dotemu. The game is a continuation of Sega's Streets of Rage trilogy, originally released for the Sega Genesis during the 1990s. It was released for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, macOS, and Linux in 2020, and for Stadia the following year. Streets of Rage 4 received generally positive reviews and sold over 2.5 million copies by April 2021. An expansion, Mr. X Nightmare, was released in July 2021. Carrying on the style of gameplay from previous entries in the Streets of Rage series from the early 1990s, Streets of Rage 4 is a side-scrolling beat 'em up in which up to four players locally or two players online fight against waves of enemies, aided by disposable weapons and item pickups. Alongside standard attacks, throws, and Blitz Moves, each player character has a set of special attacks that can be performed at the cost of some health. In this game, however, players can restore health spent on a special attack by performing successive follow-up attacks without getting hit. Each player character also has unique super combo, "Star Moves", which can be performed by collecting Stars in each level. A new combo system is introduced, along with the ability to juggle opponents against walls and other players, allowing players to earn extra points by stringing together long combos without getting hit. Each character has unique traits, such as Max's wall jump and grappling jump, Shiva's weapon parry mechanics and aerial rave/air combo, and Floyd's long-range grapple.

I may come back and upgrade this at some point. Clearly they took a lot from Streets of Rage 2 in particular, which was wise. The new animations and character designs are clean, but they were a bit jarring to me at first. There some enemies that I probably need more patience to get their patterns down, or maybe they are just old school beat 'em up quarter killers for the arcade. Either way, loved that it was included with PS+ essential.

Streets of Rage 4
Game seems to be pretty fun. Basic controls make it easy and for this type of game and that's a good thing. Pretty basic premise...actually I don't know what the store is but its fun. I do wish I could move faster and I don't like special moves take from my health. I am going to keep playing this game though to see how it goes.
