Mortal Kombat 1 and Street Fighter 6 are both that good... and Tekken 8's still on the horizon.
Every time a new Mortal Kombat arrives I think it might be the one that is so freaking gross I can't stomach it anymore. MK1 threatened to be that game when Netherrealm trotted out a montage of body mutilating fatalities to show off its latest skin shredding tech, but playing it at Summer Game Fest, the gore didn't give me that same ick. It's just punctuation.
These two landing just months apart has echoes of November 2004, when Halo 2 and Half-Life 2 were pulling FPS games in such different directions they threatened to tear the genre's arms off. This time we're getting a pair of fighting games from teams at the peak of their craft—an absolute feast of fists. A platter of punches. A banquet of beatdowns. A quiche full of K.O.s.
Tekken 7 was a smash success in 2017, and it's continued selling for 6 years. It passed 10 million sales in December, making it the best-selling Tekken game ever; all told Tekken has sold even more copies than Street Fighter, even. But the buzz around Street Fighter 6 has been on another level than anything we've seen from fighting games on PC.
