Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising Review (Axxel)
Online so far has been fairly excellent and the characters are cool. I intentionally tried out matchmaking with absolutely no requirements set, and matches with about up to 150 ping were very playable. The few I got that were 200 or so, I assume from cross country matches, weren't great, but were a far cry more playable than the vast majority of fighting games I've played before.
Regarding the reviews saying the game isn't worth the price;
It has a lot of characters, a story mode and arcade mode, rollback and crossplay online, and a variety of colours and weapon skins for all characters. It seems pretty typical fighting game content to me.
End of the day, there's a free version that lets you play in training mode and online with a few characters; if you're not sure, there's no harm in giving it a shot there before making a decision.
