Ultimately, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R isn't a game that's going to endure the test of time like its contemporaries, but it has an enormous roster of characters from one of the most inventive manga/anime series of all time. It's hard to argue for All-Star Battle R against more modern games in the genre like Dragon Ball FighterZ or Mortal Kombat 11, but even for non-fans of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, there's a simple joy in choosing from a wide roster of characters and not needing to take the combat quite as seriously as something from a top tier franchise. YES! YES! YES! The R does 'stand' for Remaster. Originally released in 2013, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R is a remastered version of the PlayStation 3 fighting game. You’ll be able to laugh your way through surgeries as you accidentally pull off legs from patients, scramble to inject them with syringes full of a substance that halts blood loss, and hammer away at rib cages in order to reach a person’s heart.It sounds gruesome, but the team at Bossa Studios handles everything with good humor and an eye on enjoyable cooperation.

The controls for playing are purposefully stiff and confusing, as physics-based humor is the star of the title. You and some friends can take on the roles of “surgeons” in a goofy-looking facility, treating patients who need vital organs or limbs replaced. If anything, Surgeon Simulator 2 prides itself on being the exact opposite of what real surgery is like.

Surgeon Simulator 2 is not one of those games. For example, Farming Simulator is a series that clearly dedicates itself to the pursuit of realism when it comes to tending and managing your own farm. Some simulator games pride themselves on how true-to-life their simulations can be.
