Is it still worth playing?

Team Ninja's 2012 fighting game, in its Last Round version released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows. Strikes beat throws, throws beat holds and holds beat strikes in an interruption triangle, and counterattacks deal extra damage. There are tag team battles and interactive, destructible arenas. Power Blow is a triggered attack available when your health is below 50 percent, and Cliffhanger is a quick time event when a character is thrown off a ledge and tries to grab on. The Critical System has Critical Stuns, Critical Combos and Critical Bursts. Last Round adds Raidou, the original boss, as a cyborg, a new character called Honoka and a free to play version. Every exchange is a guess against your opponent, since each option in the interruption triangle beats one other, which keeps it worth playing today.
