For the rest of the list, head here. For #27, head here.

#26. The King of Fighters XV (PS5, Xbox Series X | S, PS4, PC)

Inheriting the series’ traditional 3-on-3 team battle, The King of Fighters XV or KOF XV as it’s simply known was released back in February in a landscape of already-existing fighters like Guilty Gear Strive and Tekken 7.

Yet somehow it stood out in 2022. KOF XV is an excellent game for fans of the series as it offers great visuals, a familiar-but- deeper fighting system, and speedy gameplay.

It perfects its unique gameplay formula and easily offers the biggest and best character roster the series has ever seen.
Coupled with robust online options and a stellar and stylistic presentation featuring unforgettable music, this is one fighting game that should be in regular rotation for any fan of the time-tested genre.
