I only played through it once, and as much as it pains me to say, I think I'm pretty terrible at beat-'em-ups. I recognize a good one when I play it though and one brimming with fan service. I see that this is the same game we loved as kids, modernized and perfected. The graphics are gorgeous, the music pulse-pounding, and combos are satisfying. I can already tell that there is SO much to unlock, including the three OG SOR1 characters I got over the course of my one campaign. Best part of all, it has couch co-op, which is an inexplicable rarity nowadays. My star score doesn't reflect the quality of the game, just my personal level of enjoyment. It's just not my genre. If it's yours though, I'd be shocked if you were disappointed.
