5. Injustice 2 (PS4)

A visual tour-de-force, with a stunning cinematic campaign that actually felt worth a damn: Injustice 2 saw NetherRealm Studios on top form. With dynamically changing ladders introducing new challenges every hour and a neat loot system which added real replayability to the game, this fighter will go down in history as one of the biggest, most graphically stunning efforts ever to release on consoles at the time.

4. Mortal Kombat 11 (PS4)

Mortal Kombat 11’s spectacular presentation and crunching combat make it a headline entry in the long-running franchise. With an absolute mountain of single player content to get through, as well as an active competitive scene, this is one of the best fighters you can find on PS4.

3. Street Fighter V: Champion Edition (PS4)

2. Mortal Kombat X (PS4)

Mortal Kombat X has become something of a fan favourite over the years β€” a typically gory and charmingly daft entry in the long-running series. On a mechanical level, X gets a lot right β€” it's like a melding of older Mortal Kombat titles, spruced up for modern times. Whatever your skill level happens to be, it's great bloody fun, capped off by a comprehensive character roster and loads of engaging game modes.

1. Dragon Ball FighterZ (PS4)

One of the greatest anime-based fighting games ever, Dragon Ball FighterZ is a masterclass in adapting an existing franchise. Bandai Namco wanted a Dragon Ball title that could stand on a tournament stage, and so it recruited the fighting game geniuses at Arc System Works. The result is a downright stunning, but also brilliantly deep team-based brawler. It has a few too many Gokus in its character roster, perhaps, but that's a minor criticism when the game's in full flow. A joyous, competitive celebration of Akira Toriyama's timeless creation.
