Distant NPCs and objects update at a lower framerate, which is common to see in other RE Engine games like Monster Hunter Rise. It’ll mean you’ll need to chug healing items mid-fight a lot, which hardly feels fair. That’s often thanks to bloated stats and health bars. Aside from the occasional goon parade, fights later in the game can drag on.

The World Tour mode does have some flaws. It occasionally led to me being stuck in the same spot for about five minutes while every gang nut in the vicinity charged in for a scrap. Depending on where you are on the map, a veritable clown car of goons can line up to fight you. If you’re quick on the draw, you can hit them first for an advantage in battle, which does help to alleviate the frustration of how these fights can play out. NPCs marked with a red name will charge at you on-sight, a la the Yakuza series. In fights you’ll make use of move sets and specials you’ve learned from your Masters (the game’s roster of fighters that you’ll find either as part of the story or from side quests and yes, you can give them gifts and improve bonds with them), earning experience, items and clothing to boost your stats.įights are typically very quick, but you won’t always be the one to instigate them. Most of the city’s residents will also be up for a fight, and challenging them will near-seamlessly switch to the usual two-dimensional plane. Metro City is impressively dense with side quests, treasures and all manner of Easter eggs tucked down its narrow streets, dark alleyways and open parks. While there is a critical path to follow that’ll introduce you to Street Fighter’s iconic world warriors, you’ll likely be much more tempted to trek off the beaten path. Think New York, but with people running around with cardboard boxes on their heads. World Tour is a fully 3D, third-person adventure, the majority of which’ll have you roaming the busy streets of Metro City. Capcom hasn’t been shy with the sliders here, allowing you to create something convincingly cool, or something that wouldn’t look out of place in Resident Evil’s Spencer Mansion. This sprawling single player adventure first has you creating your own custom character – a first for the series. The first item on the docket for many Street Fighter 6 players will be the ambitious World Tour mode.
