10. Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition (PS4)

A souped-up re-release which, bizarrely, Sony bought as a console exclusive to complement the PS4’s launch lineup. Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition was, effectively, a port of the PS3's Injustice: Gods Among Us – bundling in all of its add-on packs and extras. With a huge cast, spanning DC Comics icons like Batman and Wonder Woman through to more obscure, lesser-known names, this licensed fighter proved a worthy content-packed alternative to the traditional stalwarts of the genre, like Street Fighter.

9. Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition (PS4)

While Street Fighter V was much maligned at launch because of its lack of content, the Arcade Edition represents a far more complete fighting game. Not only does it have the brilliant core fighting and multiplayer that fans know and love, it also includes a good amount of single player stuff on top. It's tough for Street Fighter V to shake its poor reputation, but the truth is that, with a hefty load of updates, it's in a much, much better state in this version.

8. Tekken 7 (PS4)

Though showing its age a little these days, Tekken 7 remains a great fighting game. Its super-crunchy combat is arguably better than ever here, with its overhauled rage system giving even novice players a fighting chance. There's an OTT story to follow and a solid suite of modes to enjoy, including local and online multiplayer of course. An all-round excellent fighter.

7. SoulCalibur VI (PS4)

SoulCalibur as a series has always struggled to recapture the magic of the now legendary SoulCalibur II, but SoulCalibur VI comes close. A return to form in many ways, this weapon-based brawler refreshes its cast of eccentric characters, while also throwing Geralt of The Witcher fame into the mix. Loads of game modes and a range of flashy combat adjustments make this instalment a robust fighting game package, and it all looks lovely in motion.

6. 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.
