This game takes everything I love about Soul Calibur and takes it up a notch! I'm a fan of 2 and an advocate for the somewhat unpopular 5, and I'd say this game has something for any SC fan. The fights and controls work perfectly, the balance feels right (which was an issue for me with 4 and 5) and the character selection is lovely. The story modes work for what they are, and are an improvement from 4 and 5.

I have a couple complaints but they aren't big. The biggest one is the lack of some very iconic characters. I could name a bunch, but I'll simply say Aeon and move on from there. The second is little to no outfit options from 5. I understand the overall opinion of 5, and that this game is somewhat of a reboot, but 5 gave us some of the best outfits for our returning cast. Most notably, my main Raphael who sported the vampire garb. A DLC that brought many veteran outfits back would be amazing, but I believe this game has completed its DLC path.

Overall, I think this game has much to offer, even if you're not a huge fighting game fan. I am, but even when I was a kid with no interest I still enjoyed 2 very much, and I think my young self would feel the same towards 6. It'd make me so happy to see more people try it and potentially fall in love with the series, so definitely check it out! :)
