What people are saying

Overwhelmingly positive, with many calling it the best Guilty Gear game.

Players praise Xrd Rev 2 as a perfect middle ground between complexity and accessibility, with many calling it the best Guilty Gear title. The visuals, music, and character designs are widely celebrated, and the game is described as incredibly fun and expressive. [4][7][12][17][27]

However, some players criticize the game for being a "discord fighter" with a small, highly skilled player base, making it difficult for newcomers to find fair matches. A few also express frustration with specific mechanics like Blitz Shield and YRC. [13][31][35]

Praised visuals and style · gameplay balance · character roster · music

    Incredible game if you’re mentally ill and have a lot of free time. A PhD is required to pilot almost every character. I learned less in four years of university than I did in one month on the Slayer cord. Daisuke Ishiwatari, please. give slayer yrc slop, he needs it 🙏

    This game feels like the perfect middleground of guilty gear, not too complex like you might find +r, and not too simple like you might find strive to be. I, however, enjoy all 3 of these games, so i am winning. Meanwhile, the oldheads who scream about wokeness and bridget all day have no passion in their sols (;]), so while i laugh and cheer whenever something like danger time occurs, they gain a new grey hair.

    The game is really fun, it's better paced than strive (Another game I've left open running in the background many many times) The roster is awesomesauce and the inputs are relatively forgiving for beginners like me. In true Guilty Gear fashion this game is also very pretty, the characters design and backgrounds are all extremely good looking and a major reason I even got interested in this specific franchise of fighting games eventho I mechanically prefer arena fighters like DBZ Budokai…

    Great game, reviews are subjective to individuals. personally I did not have a good experience. TLDR i cant get a lobby where I even get a chance to play the game. No one in ranked, no one in lobby, its room only. Catch is, its just filled with experienced players. Would be better if there was a way to queue with people around your own skill level, sadly its rare. This is the state of fighting games in general that are past their expiration, regardless I still cant give it a pass. I wouldn't…
