    I was pleasantly surprised by the game’s story because I didn’t expect it to have as much depth as it did and I didn’t expect it to be as interesting as it was. The presentation side of the game is absolutely superb in my opinion and that’s mainly because both the visuals and sound design have plenty of style.

The presentation side of the game is absolutely superb in my opinion and that’s mainly because both the visuals and sound design have plenty of style. In terms of content there’s a huge amount for you to get to grips with and the amount of characters available to you means the game has lots of replayability. Technically the game suffers with not many problems at all and I found that to be especially the case when I played the online components of the game. The gameplay is an incredible amount of fun and each different mechanic combines together almost flawlessly. Sometimes the difficulty spikes out of nowhere and this can cause you to experience a few frustrating moments every now and then. During your time with the game you will notice that the game doesn’t always reward skill. I will admit to you now that SoulCalibur is a series that I haven’t invested a great deal of time into and the main reason for that is because I didn’t think it was as good as other fighting game’s in the market. That being said I often found its story to be better than other fighting game’s and once again SoulCalibur VI delivers a fine story that will keep you invested throughout your time with the game. This isn’t the only thing that will keep you invested as well because it has an array of varied content that will no doubt keep you satisfied for many hours and you’ll be pleased to know that both the single player and online multiplayer offerings don’t suffer with many technical issues at all. This then means the gameplay stays fun and makes each different mechanic stand out and the only real frustration you get is when the difficulty curve spikes out of nowhere. Thankfully though I was easily able to look past this because the strategy side of the game still feels rewarding despite the difficulty. At the end of the day then for me SoulCalibur VI is without a doubt the most enjoyable game I’ve played in the series so far and if you’re a fan of fighting game’s then this title is a must buy.… Expand

    Probably the best Soul Calibur to play right now. On par with first and second. 2 good campaign modes. Art and audio harks back to old days of the series but modernized. Does a great job of retelling the Soul Calibur story from many different perspectives and is the most coherent way to consume the story and lore. If you like Soul Calibur you will like this.

One warning is that on the regular Xbox One (not X) the load times are overly long and probably not worth getting for the platform until they fix it. I have it on the X and it looks and plays good and smooth. If you plan to get, skip the season pass and wait until that is on a sale and rest of the content is out for it.… Expand

    My favorite Soulcalibur title since II. They brought back the classic roster after trying to change things up with V, and I think they overall did a good job of choosing all the essential characters and focusing on fleshing out their stories as opposed to flooding the player with options.

    Only complaints I have are the long loadtimes (on base Xbox One) and that the season pass seems to all be items that should have been in the base game, spare 2B's guest appearance. Aside from that Soulcalibur VI lives up to the series name and is a fun fighter for both newcomers and veterans.    … Expand

    Tekken 7 was very underrated, I don't even like Street Fighter or MvC, but I hope more people play Tekken 7, I love playing as King because it let's me play as a furry and we are very under represented in media.

    10/10

    They have patched the loading issues for the most part and the game feels better than at launch it’s a shame it took this long. Hopefully they will continue refining the game I am still not a fan of some of the new mechanics but it’s still a solid game.

    Excellent single-player offering for those who aren't usually into fighting games. [Christmas 2018, p.74]

    Soul Calibur is easily my favorite traditional style fighting game, and seeing it get back to form with a solid new entry in Soul Calibur VI warms my heart, and my thumbs. Bandai Namco has taken great strides in getting the franchise back on track, and it seems all they had to do was listen to its fans. Gone are the weird and increasingly questionable combat mechanics; instead what we have is a product that feels clean, inviting, and refreshingly fun.

    Soulcalibur 6 might not be quite as groundbreaking as past games, but it’s still a must-buy for fighting game enthusiasts or fans of the franchise.
