Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage Reviews
Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage is the best the game has ever been in almost 20 years and offers something new for everyone.
Virtua Fighter 5 REVO World Stage serves as a fitting conclusion to a game with an amazing history. The new single-player content, crossplay, and rollback netcode are great additions to continue experiencing its great gameplay. However, as a definitive edition, a little more care could have been taken by removing paywalls.

Without a doubt, this is the best version of Virtua Fighter 5 and, in my opinion, the most accomplished in the entire franchise. Sega and RGG paid close attention to online play with the rollback netcode and managed to perfect the visuals to the fullest. The downside is the lack of additional content, but considering its 20-year age, the game has aged impeccably, and the additions have been a great improvement.

Despite being a 3D fighting game pioneer, Virtua Fighter has always struck me as being the serious big brother of the genre. Or perhaps even the ster...
The more things change, the more they seem to stay the same for Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage. While the excitement has returned to bring the rest of the world up to speed with R.E.V.O., its attempt to scratch the single player itch feels more like an added bonus than a defining feature. From the feel of it, Virtua Quest (shudders) and Virtua Fighter 5's original experiment at expanding the experience may have taken that shot almost twenty years too early. Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage plays it safe but remains deliberate in its execution. World Stage is a solid choice for players from the "don't stop till the other drops" mindset, leaning heavily toward the multiplayer scene above all else. For its price, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage gives both new and returning World Tournament fighters a reason to jump back in and welcome fresh challengers. Expecting more than the competitive spirit of "fight everyone on everything" might lead to a ring out for your expectations, though.
Thanks to meaningful new additions such as crossplay, rollback netcode, and a meaty single-player mode, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage cements itself as one of the very best fighting games currently available.
Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage brings decades of excellence to the ring, neatly wrapped up in three little buttons. For those looking for more training options, this release is just the thing for those looking to hone their craft.
Don't be fooled: Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage is a great game, but with few new features when considering only this new version. Hardcore fans will be happy with the addition - finally - of rollback netcode. But the new "World Stage" mode leaves something to be desired.

Still, despite that, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage is the most complete version of a fantastic game that you’ll find on modern platforms and a must-purchase if you love the series and haven’t played it anywhere else recently. PS4 owners can even upgrade for a reduced price, which is probably worthwhile. It ultimately offers a pretty minor upgrade to the game’s recent packages, though.
An enhanced remaster with more content that shows how Virtua Fighter has all the potential to become something special with its believable combat, while rival series delve deeper into fantasy.

Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage is the definitive version of the nearly 20-year-old classic, adding Rollback Netcode and crossplay, as well as an excellent offline journey mode. Despite the overpriced DLCs and a shallow, mostly empty online matchmaking mode, the gameplay remains one of the strongest aspects of the 3D fighting game genre. The game is now more accessible to newcomers thanks to the offline journey mode, but Sega needs to focus on improving online-offline integration to address long wait times and player inactivity in ranked matches.

Virtua Fighter 5 is a game that ages like fine wine. It was a great game way back when it released almost 20 years and this new rendition, R.E.V.O. World Stage, still holds up perfectly and can stand toe to toe with SF6 and Tekken 8. The downside being is that the game requires a bit of dedication in order to get a grasp of the controls and mechanics. World Stage is a great addictive mode that does feel like you’re progressing. Whether you’ve had your fill of Street Fighter 6 or Tekken 8 or simply need a new challenge, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage is a great game that feels actually rewarding. Highly recommended.
Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O World Stage upgrades Virtua Fighter 5's single-player offers with the fun and rewarding World Stage mode and implements cross-play to keep players engaged in one large player pool. Despite some matchmaking issues, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O World Stage brings a compelling suite of online features, including Ranked matches, to keep players engaged with another avenue of fighting game content.
Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage is a great game. In fact, this version should have been released back in 2021, but the improvements it brings make it a highly recommended title for both those familiar with the series and those who have never heard of it. However, there are some basic things that other major franchises in the genre already offer, and VF5 could have included them as well, such as a better presentation for the Training mode, more freedom in customization, and the ability to edit the playlist played during matches.

Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage keeps the discipline, strategy, and style of the original series while making important changes for current players. A must-have for anyone who wants to play one of the best 3D fighting games ever, and a great way to get ready for Virtua Fighter 6's release.
Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage delivers the most complete version of Sega’s modern classic. The revamped campaign structure and expanded matchmaking address key gaps from the original release, while the combat remains one of the most technical, precise, and satisfying in the 3D fighting genre.
