A spirited fantasy that dons the bande dessinée mantle, it’s a fantastic case study in how to make combo-centric fist fights feel good and look grand all at once. It’s a beautiful brawler – and one that’ll need to make good use of its mitts, given the number of killer releases fighting over every crumb of attention this month.
