This is on top of a one of the most robust single-player offerings I can think of in a fighting game, as well as more behind-the-scenes Museum content than one can shake a snake sword at. SoulCalibur VI is an incredible package, only bogged down by a few minor issues, and one that should be near the top of any fighting game fan's library.

This new installment of Soul Calibur feels like a kind of reebot, a return to the beginning of the saga where the fight is not only important, but also the universe created around the characters under a gameplay that involves a return to the beginnings, offering a much more technical and entertaining title than in other occasions.

The sixth entry in Bandai Namco's weapons-based fighting series makes a strong return.

The best SoulCalibur VI of recent generations, with an accessible but tactically deep combat system. But while the single-player options are much improved they're still far from perfect.

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.

The return of SoulCalibur to the current console generation is impressive, versatile and full of action. Through numerous features, Bandai Namco wants to appeal to both, veterans and newcomers, which succeeds for the most part. Even if the extensive history around the Soul Edge knows how to inspire, what remains is a stale aftertaste to the detriment of the new combat mechanics.

SoulCalibur VI is a good fighting game with a great combat system, friendly to a newcomer but hard to master. There are enough modes to capture the interest of the mass and a wide list of characters to choose from. Bandai Namco has done a good job bringing this series back to life in this subtle restart to the franchise. They managed to take the best from the previous instalments and adapt to the new era of fighting games.

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.

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.

SoulCalibur VI comes as a welcome addition to the series despite some niggles. Overall, the package is grand and certainly appeals to fans of the franchise. It’s an accessible title for newcomers and generally heaps of fun to play across all its modes. Obviously, the lack of a bigger budget shows here, but what is provided is enough to charm like-minded players. That said, the creation mode whilst limited in comparison to previous offerings is the star of the show. It’s a game in itself to customise the default roster or make your own deranged or beautiful fighter. The fact players share creations online is a massive boon.

The SoulCalibur franchise built its notorious reputation on weapon-based combat and legendary warriors modeled after pirates, knights, and more. The simple struggle between good and evil created a solid edifice that manifested into one of the most acclaimed fighting titles of all time. SoulCalibur VI returns the franchise to its roots, providing the same outstanding and tactical weapon-based combat the franchise is known for.

Soulcalibur VI fills the gap between casual fighting games and serious e-sports disciplines. It has great mechanics, which are easy to learn for newcomers, and perfect character editor. But most important of all is that Soulcalibur VI is really interesting to play.
