Best Fighting Game
Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN

"Appealing to both hardcore fans and novices alike, Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- is one of the best fighter games to hit the PS4. Not only are the gameplay mechanics on spot, but the way that 2D and 3D art is combined is both engaging and immersive. Combine all those things with the title's energetic soundtrack, and one gets pure fighter gold."
