There are a variety of fighting games to pick from. While they all may seem similar at first glance, each has its own charm and allure. While some feature impressive gameplay mechanics and challenging combos, others have a good story and make games accessible to all players. Fighting games are a good way to spend time with your friends if you’re having a couch gaming session. You can set up custom offline tournaments in many of these games and play to your heart’s content. On PS5, most of these games run smooth and offer good gaming experiences.

Soul Calibur 6 (PS4)
This is a game that is a spin on classic fighter games, and a lot of it has to do with the fantasy-like setting of the game.

Character special moves, certain combos and buffs enhance your ability to do so. The game has good gameplay mechanics, which may not gel with the player at once, but can be rewarding over the long run. The game features a vast roster of fighters, including fan favourites like Geralt and Yoshimitsu. It also has a very cinematic feel to it.

The game features iconic gaming characters such as Ryu, one of the first-ever fighting game characters, Chun-Li and many more.
