Guilty Gear Strive is the seventh mainline game in the Guilty Gear series. Developed by the same folks responsible for Dragon Ball FighterZ, it offers gorgeous 2D graphics, a complex combat system, and a roster of unique characters with their own playstyle. Our review gave it a solid 8 out of 10, thanks to stylish graphics, a complex combat system, and a fun “mission mode” that helps you learn the basics. The PS5, Xbox, and PC versions are currently on Season 4 of DLC content, but the Nintendo Switch edition will launch with just the first three seasons, and will get the Season 4 update later.

While we've seen the Guilty Gear Strive 25th Anniversary Edition go on sale as low as $65, it's still worth picking up at full price since we don't know how long stocks will last.
