    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.

    You owe it to yourself to play SOULCALIBUR VI if you have even the slightest interest in fighting games.

    SoulCalibur VI is the most dignified return to the stages of the Soul saga, which recovers the throne of 3D fighting games. With two intense story modes and solid gameplay that returns to its origins by adding new features that make it even more accessible, we'll enjoy exciting battles filled with epic nature and fun.

    Back after a six year hiatus, SoulCalibur VI proves that the series has lost none of its sparkle. If this is the final SoulCalibur we ever see (and we sincerely hope it isn't), at least we can rest assured that the series went out with a bang rather than a clang.

    If I was a more cynical and lazy person, I could have written this review in one sentence: Yup, it’s Soulcalibur. But I also happen to like Soulcalibur, so I won’t complain too much.

    SoulCalibur VI is an addictive and satisfying fighter, and more importantly the strongest the series has been in years.

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

    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 ofProbably 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

V oblasti hratelnosti je mu to ke cti, protože si udržel hravou duši, která ho odlišovala od ostatních. Ve všem ostatním působí buď jako remake prvních dílů, nebo jako odbyté, a možná i trochu zbytečné, pokračování. Naštěstí pro titul, o hratelnost jde u bojovky na prvním místě, a tak je člověk ochotný ledacos odpustit. Expand

SCVI does not compare with their other titles this year. It's light on options (no tutorial), and the options that are there are underwhelming. And that's probably the best way to describe it - underwhelming. If you stand it up next to the Tekken 7 or Dragonball FighterZ, you start to wonder why they even bothered. Even the fight announcer/narrator doesn't measure up.

    I still don't understand why Bandai Namco opened the pre-orders for this title a mere month before release (unheard of in this age), but it gives the impression that they had low expectations for it.

    Quieren saber cómo cargarse una saga legendaria de videojuegos a base de cobrar más de 100 dólares? Pues Soulcalibur VI es la respuesta.Quieren saber cómo cargarse una saga legendaria de videojuegos a base de cobrar más de 100 dólares? Pues Soulcalibur VI es la respuesta.
    Juego completamente roto, gráficos que dejan mucho que desear, si los comparamos con SC 2 (que hasta el SC Broken Destiny era mucho mejor), una jugabilidad que dista mucho de las anteriores entregas, con ataques fuertes que le quitan emoción al combate, esa mecánica de QTE al estilo "piedra, papel, tijera" que no hace más que fastidiar la experiencia, TODO, ABSOLUTAMENTE TODO desbloqueado desde el minuto 1, lo cual el modo historia o un jugador está de adorno aquí, tiene 6 veces menos contenido que SC 2, en variedad de escenarios, trajes, y armas, un online que va fatal, y además... con DLCs y micropagos. En serio, Tira y Amy como DLCs, cuando deberían estar al menos bloqueados para ser jugados en un modo alterno al modo historia? (la historia es una precuela, ya lo sé, no aparece Cassandra, que aparece recién en el SC 2), entiendo a 2B, no tiene nada que ver con el universo de SC, y Geralt podría estar también, pero personajes del lore como DLCs... Ah, y me olvidé del creador de personajes, que está muy pobre en contenido, y ni siquiera te dan la opción de desbloquearlos mediante juego, solamente comprando los DLCs.

    Lo jugué en la Xbox One de un amigo, y la verdad, me he ahorrado 80 dlls, o mejor, más que eso...
    Primero MVC Infinite, luego SFV, y ahora SC 6...
    Tekken 7, KI, y MK 11 valen la pena como juegos de lucha.

    Want to know how to spoil a legendary saga of video games based on charging more than $ 100? Well, Soulcalibur VI is the answer.
    Game completely broken, graphics that leave much to be desired, if we compare them with SC 2 (that until the SC Broken Destiny was much better), a gameplay that is far from the previous deliveries, with strong attacks that take emotion away from the combat, that QTE mechanics in the style "stone, paper, scissors" that does nothing but annoy the experience, EVERYTHING, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING unlocked since minute 1, which the story mode or a player is adornment here, has 6 times less content than SC 2, in a variety of scenarios, costumes, and weapons, an online that is fatal, and also ... with DLCs and micropayments. Seriously, Tira and Amy as DLCs, when they should be at least blocked to be played in an alternate mode to the story mode? (the story is a prequel, I know, Cassandra does not appear, who appears only in SC 2), I understand 2B, it has nothing to do with the universe of SC, and Geralt could be too, but lore characters like DLCs ​​... Oh, and I forgot the character creator, who is very poor in content, and do not even give you the option to unlock them by playing, only buying the DLCs.

    I played it on a friend's Xbox One, and the truth is, I saved 80 dlls, or better, more than that ...
    First MVC Infinite, then SFV, and now SC 6 ...
    Tekken 7, KI, and MK 11 are worth fighting games.
