“THE best fighting game that has released in the last decade (though coming up near a decade now). It's a shame Bandai Namco doesn't love us, but the community is still keeping this game alive 8 years later, albeit it's…”
“SoulCalibur 6 is a fantastic game in the style of Tekken, with great animations, well-designed fighting arenas, and fitting music. There are so many combat options for each character that it provides hours of…”
“This is a fantastic fighting game and honestly one of the best in the series. --- ⚔️ Gameplay The combat feels smooth, responsive, and satisfying. - weapon-based fighting makes it stand out - easy to learn, but still…”

“Back in 2019, I created a custom Shaggy, VanDarkholme, and Gnomed (among many other figures that were popular for the time) and got in a call with a group of friends to watch a CPU vs. CPU tournament. Back in 2012, I…”
“Great customization, easy to learn, lots of single player content. Online doesn't have much population but there's still a ton to enjoy here.”

“Лучшая в своей нише файтингов с оружием, да и одна из лучших в файтингах вообще. Очень красивые модельки и реалистичные (в меру жанра) анимации, все движения мягкие. Управление отзывчивое и несложное, есть пара…”
“It's a great fighting game, my only real problem with it is that I think it should have continued the Soul story instead of a "retelling". graphics are good, gameplay is good, I always loved this series”

“I am usually a bit too intimidated to try fighting games and I don't really get a ton out of memorizing combos, and this turned out to be the perfect way to play fighting games for me. Very accessible campaign mode on…”
“Incredible game, very easy to get into. Runs great, fully customisable for Keyboard and works great on controller too.”

“Clunky Controls, 2.5D Arena movement makes for a kind of bad game, the fact i haven't been able to special counter is kind wack would rather recommend guilty gear strive or street fighter 6.”
“Generally lacking in many fields in comparison to former titles. Soulcalibur IV hosted the most in-depth character customization available - yes, I am including the selectable races here into the equation. The character…”
“It's like SCII but a bit slower. Story mode isn't great and online is dead, but it's still a fun and slept on game.”

“I'm a little disappointed. I didn't look into it to be fair, but Soul Calibur 6 gives me the impression of a game that suffered from a very rushed development cycle, even with how long it took it to come out after its…”
“I'm someone who got into the series with the prior entry on PS3, due almost entirely to its robust character creation. Even as someone who is a relative stranger to 3D fighters it's not super difficult to pick up and…”

“This and Dead or Alive are my favorite fighting games of all time. Genuinely hope to see it make a return.”
— a player, Steam review · 91 hrs played“It's no Soul Calibur 2, it got no rollback, reversal edge is pretty dumb, soul charge iframes are pretty scrubby, critical edge being tied to meter and only costing one bar sometimes make the game pretty cutsceney, it still has run counter, lethal hits feel pretty bloated and…”
