Here’s a piece of news not many expected, but many fighting game fans will appreciate. While Game Informer has been taking a look at esports analysis this month with some focus on the FGC, an unrelated list titled “The 10 Most Underrated Games of this Generation” mentions the Lab Zero Games brawler.
Among titles like Salt & Sanctuary, Danganronpa, and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is Skullgirls: 2nd Encore. The venerated games magazine extolls the 2D fighter for its approachability for newcomers and rich, quality content that includes a fully voiced Story Mode and other ways to play.
“A colorful 2D brawler with gorgeous hand-drawn animation, Skullgirls channels classic Capcom series like Darkstalkers and the Versus games in its gameplay, but stands apart with its distinct personality and quirky characters,” Game Informer writes.

(Also, play SOMA and The Swapper. They’re excellent.)
