Second chances are rare these days. In an age of yearly roadmaps, seasonal releases, and endless downloadable updates it can be hard to figure out when to jump into an ongoing game. Worse yet, it's impossible to avoid the feeling that you're already late. If you didn't jump in on the ground floor, then you're doomed to be stomped on by online warriors forever. With Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, the world has a second chance to get invested in one of the most interesting fighting games we've seen in some time.
It is, as you may have gathered, a major update for a fighting game that has already been released. Granblue Fantasy Versus. It's a fighting game I reviewed years ago for Eurogamer – one that I walked away from with mixed feelings. When we parted ways this gorgeous anime fighter seemingly went on a journey of self-improvement, as the package I've played recently has fixed many of the issues I had with the original.
This is a 2D fighting game, obviously. It's an anime fighter too, so not only do you have a distinct art style but also a certain speed and fluidity that's common among the subgenre. Developed as part of a collaboration between Cygames and Arc System Works, the latter being a company that has been putting out gold these past few years, Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is a smooth, loose, and vibrant video game. Vibrant both aesthetically, and at heart. It's honestly a joy to play.
