This is the weirdest I've ever felt reviewing a game. For transparency, I don't like to give games ratings unless I've "beaten" them. With Street Fighter 6, I dropped the World Tour mode on the last chapter; I just didn't have the motivation to grind to the point where I'd want to take on that final chaotic boss rush.

But that's the furthest I've gotten into a game I didn't beat. I played 13 hours of the 15-hour story, played the arcade mode and multiplayer and all that...can I give it a rating if I didn't beat the story mode? I'm conflicted. I guess I'll give it a rating and mark it as "retired."

Either way, while World Tour is overly grindy and not entirely to my liking, this is still a fantastic fighting game as far as pure mechanics. It really feels like Capcom learned from Street Fighter V, and I tip my cap to them on that. It's been fun to see this streak they've been on.
