SoulCalibur VI Reviews
Soulcalibur 6 has brought the franchise back from the brink. A little underwhelming in the story department, the game still manages to deliver a satisfying fighting game experience.
SoulCalibur VI is a blast to play on your own or with others, as it largely improves upon the best parts of the SoulCalibur series.
Soulcalibur VI is a delightful remake of the highly acclaimed Soulcalibur. The fluid combat and the diverse cast of characters have made this game enjoyable for both old fans and newcomers alike. The storytelling is lacking in some respects, however, since fighting games are primarily focused on gameplay, it is not uncommon for them to have mediocre stories. You can't go wrong with Soulcalibur VI if you are looking for an enticing fighting system, eye-catching visuals, and an epic soundtrack.

Another worthy entry into the series that still distinguishes itself from the rest. Diverse characters, unique mechanics, and pick-up-and-play nature make it extremely accessible. Despite a few fumbles in training modes and mediocre story elements, Soulcalibur VI is a great fighter at its core.
Overall, SoulCalibur 6 is a solid reboot of the franchise. It doesn't reinvent the wheel but focuses on sanding off the rough edges and returning the gameplay and storyline to the basics. The result is a game that's a distillation of what makes the SoulCalibur franchise fun. There's enough room and depth for people to get into the real -gritty of the gameplay, but there's also a lot of room for enjoyable fighting. It's a bit difficult to justify the purchase just for the single-player portion, but it's excellent for a couch party game — just like SoulCalibur should be.
Soulcalibur VI is undoubtedly the best single-player fighting game available right now. And should the game's online features work without any hiccups, its unique brand of combat should make it essential for fighting fans too. There's just nothing else quite like Soulcalibur out there.
SoulCalibur VI certainly has plenty of issues, like a lack of extra modes, a few visuals blemishes, the somewhat unimpressive Reverse Edge move, and the usual greedy attitude towards DLC. Nevertheless, it's also a highly entertaining, high-octane fighter that can be enjoyed by greenhorns and veterans alike, as well as being a more than decent revival of the franchise.
A new fighting mechanic and game mode propels Soulcalibur to new heights in its latest entry!
A successful effort that keeps what made the series unique, but limited content and ok presentation limits its appeal to an extent.

Soul Calibur VI is definitely steps in the right direction of reminding people why Bandai Namco has the best fighters not named Street Fighter, and I’m excited to see who else joins the fray in the series’ future.
Soul Calibur VI revives a series that may have been lost to time by learning from what worked best and introducing creative and unique mechanics to its already solid gameplay.
With a polished fighting system, deep story mode, and buckets of content, Soul Calibur VI is easily one of the best fighting games of the generation.
With robust single-player offerings, as well as a fast paced and dynamic fighting system, Soulcalibur VI represents the best the series has been for a long time. It has a great and diverse roster of characters, and Geralt fits right into the world too. It's just a little bit of a shame that it's missing a few things from previous games. Despite this, Soulcalibur VI is easily the best Soulcalibur game and one of the best 3D fighters you can play right now.
After a disappointing SoulCalibur V, Bandai Namco has returned from the forge with the newly crafted SoulCalibur VI, a PC fighting game with fresh modes and thrilling gameplay.
In the end, there’s a purity to how SoulCalibur VI is so focused above all else on its spectacular swordplay and world building.
To quote the announcer from SC3, Soul Calibur VI is “seriously wounded, but the soul still burns”.
Soulcalibur VI feels like a game that's fighting to make a comeback in a world where it isn't sure it's welcome anymore, and the downside of that is that many of its parts feel like they were under-developed to keep costs low. However, much more important is the upside, which is that a fantastic fighting game series has finally come back to us, and it's still just as good as we all remember.
SoulCalibur VI is a solid fighting game that offers good mechanics and a lot of content to enjoy some legendary fights with weapons. But the roster feels limited and, in terms of visuals, the game seems to have the same design than SoulCalibur V.

Soulcalibur VI expands the fighting experience with a brief history lesson surrounding the events of the game. While this does take some time to get used to, it offers some great context while introducing a new method to unlock items. There's a noticeable increase in the game's combat, but offers a familiar experience all-around.
The Project Soul team tried to collect all the best from the previous games in the series into one and made some nice improvements in SoulCalibur VI. I want to believe that SoulCalibur has returned, and this time for a long time.
