Top 16 Fighting Games of This Generation

Killer Instinct

Ultra Combos and combo breakers return with a whole host of new crazy mechanics, like Counter Breakers, Aerial Recapture and Shadow Moves. The sheer fast-paced nature of the combat, coupled with each of the 29 characters possessing awesome, unique techniques makes mastering them a blast. While some content may not be up to everyone’s speed (like the ambitious Shadow Lords mode), online play is fantastic thanks to rollback netcode. Killer Instinct has come a long way and even for those not super-hyped about it, there’s a lot to discover and love here.
