SoulCalibur VI Reviews
If you were ever a fan of the series, Soulcalibur VI will feel familiar and fun. And even if you're newer to the franchise, the relative simplicity of Soulcalibur's mechanics will make it easy to pick up and play.
In all, I’m pleased by my scrappy fights, and my tutelage of Hooves the horse man continues.
SoulCalibur VI's combat could crack even the toughest case of fighting game-phobia; it's strategic, fluid, and deep, but remains as accessible as ever. It's unfortunate that it's hampered by a lack of interesting modes, and that its hefty single-player offerings attempt to shift the focus away from the robust combat system and towards stale, cumbersome stories.
Soulcalibur 6 is an exciting fighting game with impressively robust character creation tools and a great roster of fighters, but its single player content is a mixed bag.
I'd recommend this to anyone with even a passing interest in the fighting genre, and especially to those like me who just want a fighting game that's fun to play.
Soulcalibur VI is a great way to bring back the franchise. There is a ton of content to be found and outside of a few omissions, the roster is great. Character creation leaves the door open for plenty of interesting designs.
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.

As a reboot to the series' story, Soulcalibur VI is interesting and accessible to all players.
Soul Calibur VI has the heart and soul of what makes a great fighter great. However, Reversal Edge is a mixed bag, and some presentation elements lack visual investment. Regardless, Soul Calibur VI is the complete package, accommodating to newcomers and veterans alike.
All in all, SoulCalibur VI is an accomplished package and a fighting game that just feels great to play.
SoulCalibur VI offers lots of hours of fun, and not just online. Some interesting additions to the gameplay and the new characters make the gaming experience fresh and varied, even if some animation risks to break the flow of combat. Had it not been for the rather unpleasant decision to block Tira as a Season Pass bonus, Project Soul's latest work would have had very few things to complain about.

SoulCalibur VI is one of the most approachable fighters I've played in years, while offering plenty of depth for players who wish to attain true skill. It's hard not to recommend, especially when there's so much for all kinds of players to enjoy. Give SoulCalibur VI a try, it's great fun.
For someone with little Soul Calibur experience before now, I feel that Soul Calibur VI can be a pretty good starting point for someone to the series. The tutorial in Mission Mode will help you learn the basics and you can always look up more advanced moves and techniques for any character at almost any time. Add in the Mission and Story modes and there's a lot to do beyond just fighting several random CPU opponents and calling it a day.
What you can expect from SoulCalibur VI is a brilliantly engaging fighting game that will test and captivate all players who pick it up.
SoulCalibur VI takes the series back to its roots and creates one of the best entries yet
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.
SoulCalibur VI revisits the early years of the franchise with a wholly new re-imagining of the original SoulCalibur game for current-gen systems. The result is an excellent 3D fighter with a nice mix of modern gameplay as well as a good dose of nostalgia for longtime fans of the fighting series. Smarter AI and more offline modes would have been nice. Fluid gameplay and rock-solid mechanics, however, make this a great addition to the fighting game genre.
In the end, there’s a purity to how SoulCalibur VI is so focused above all else on its spectacular swordplay and world building.
Leaving aside the fact that its a reboot from the series, Soulcalibur VI es a great fighting game that retains most of the elements that have made the franchise one of the best among the genre. Yes, it doesnt add many novelties to the gameplay formula and some modes lack some charm, but nevertheless, its an awesome game worth your money and time, more if you love fighting games.
