The industry is sick with the RE-disease
I'm not sure if I'm breaking the rules not allowing the game to stand on its own merits, but considering all the remake / re-release / re-etc. in todays gaming, I see this game as aimed to recreate the experience from the first three SoR games. It's been 26 years since SoR 3, and now "all of a sudden" it's time to make the next one. And, it does it pretty well, that is, it succeds at being just like the first three. A lot of stuff makes a comeback: basic combat mechanics, enemies with their design and moves, even some interface elements are almost exactly the same. And, this is a negative for me. Because there's almost nothing new or original, other than up-to-date graphics and sound. The story is almost non-existent: badass heroes kick villains' asses. No twists, no chatacter development, or any sort of depth. But, that's how it's supposed to be, right? It's Streets of Rage. The music is also very faithful to the 'original' games, and it's for this reason it's not memorable at all. Because the creators, I assume, didn't think of making it sound and feel up-to-date artistically, but really wanted to make it just like in 1990s. The gameplay mechanics feel almost copy-pasted from the previous games. It felt satisfying for the first few levels, but then it got boring, because I already played SoR 1 through 3 and beat them many times. The only positive thing I can say is that the game is competently made and appears polished. Those who wanted more of SoR, will most definitely get it. And those who never played SoR, might even love it. It's 2020 and every successful title from the past is being remade. What a horrible time to enjoy games.
