The King of Fighters 95

The load times are brutal on the CD, but once you're in, the roster is stacked with specials and that guest Neo Geo Land stage is a wild, arcade-perfect trip down memory lane.

The rain-drenched Korean stage with that burning tree is pure mood, and the guest appearance of Neo Geo Land as a stage is such a cool nod. The specials are plentiful and satisfying, though the loading times remind you it's a CD, not a cart.

The roster’s the real draw for me, and having the full team of specials at your fingertips makes every match feel like a proper showdown. I’ve sunk hours into the Neo Geo Land stage alone just for the vibe. It’s exactly the kind of sequel that keeps you coming back for one more round.
