Soulcalibur 6 review - a return to form that's not without its flaws

a return to form that's not without its flaws

Soul Calibur VI Review – PS4

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.

One of the best entries in the series, but still not living up to its potential

I have always loved Soul Calibur since SCII on the PS2. Aside from SCIII, I felt that IV and V were really lacking, and did not live up to the strength of SCII. Finally, SCVI feels like it's a return to form.

Reborn and revitalized - SoulCalibur VI review

Although unquestionably a genre staple, SoulCalibur has been on the quiet side for the better part of the decade. The lukewarm reception of SoulCalibur V and Bandai Namco's unsuccessful forays into the free-to-play and mobile markets have dealt the series a terrible blow.

Easy to learn; hard to master combat system is rewarding; Fantastic animations; Engaging online

Dull storytelling; Combat horribly weighed down in single-player modes; Serviceable; but lackluster selection of modes

Burning Brighter Than Ever

Soulcalibur VI is billed as a reboot, but smart improvements to combat and a lengthy (if bloated) single-player push the series forward.
