Return to the octagon.

After the release of EA Sports UFC 3 and its lukewarm reaction, the fighting franchise seemed ready to take a step back and focus on fixing things behind the scenes. After nearly two years off, EA Vancouver is back with UFC 4, a new entry in the series, and with hopes to fix many of the things that went wrong in 2018. This time around, a simplified approach to how players fight and the inclusion of some modern-day game modes make for a surprisingly fun game, and a stellar building block for the future of the series.
