Pick it if…

- you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)

Maybe skip it if…
- you prefer story-driven games or have no one to play against
What playing Primal Rage is like
Fighting games pit two characters against each other in short one-on-one bouts. Depth comes from learning special moves, combos and each character's strengths.
Tip for newcomers: Pick one character and learn their basic special moves before branching out. Fighting games are at their best against a friend at a similar skill level.
