I'm a fighting game newbie. Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R has a reputation for being a hard game to get into. Admittedly, I have yet to play any online matches, but the singleplayer content has still made this a more interesting and enjoyable ride than I'd anticipated. Maybe spend a bit of time in Training to choose a character and get a feel for them, know your basic commands. Survival mode seems to have the slowest ramp-up in difficulty. It sounds daunting, but it's almost definitely the best mode to start with. With a bit more of a bearing on the game, most of the other modes are viable, but mission mode is a particular highlight. The missions are cruel at times, but are great at pushing you to improve in specific areas with a character. Just the singleplayer experience has made this game worthwhile to me.
