Streets of Rage 3 (known as Bare Knuckle 3 in Japan) often finds itself at the bottom of many Street of Rage tier lists for the Sega Mega Drive. While it may not surpass its predecessors in every aspect, dismissing it entirely overlooks a wealth of depth and nuance that deserves props.
In this retrospective review, I examine the game's history, uncovering the reasons behind its mixed reception. I look at the differences between the Japanese and Western versions, highlighting the impact of localisation on gameplay and narrative. Additionally, I discuss the cut content and hidden secrets that showcase the game's original ambition.
Streets of Rage 3 is not as a misstep, but as a complex and often misunderstood entry in the beat 'em up genre.

![Top Racer Collection Review (Top Gear) [PS5]
The Top Racer Collection is a collection of the first three Super Nintendo Top Racer (also known as Top Gear) games for current platforms. It adds a bunch of new features including online play and your typical filters.
Im not convinced it has broad appeal but for what it is, its an excellent port of these beloved games and worth picking up if youre a fan!
