Soul Calibur is one of my favorite fighting games, I played a lot of the games and be able to grow attached to its great characters and bizzarre representation of "completely accurate historical events".

I am happy to confirm that Soul calibur 6 is one of the best entries in the franchise: it is able to resurrect the series after the weird the decision which led to SCV.
The gameplay is refined and merges a lot of the cool features that made it a classic in the first place. Brinngs back and even evolves the classical fighters while also bringing some great newcomers and exciting guest characters.

It has some flaws: the customization and the "Create a Character" mode is not as rich as previous titles, the story mode feels unrefined at times, and the weird decisions behind the roster size and DLC release raised a bunch of eyebrows at the time.

But aside from that, it is a blast, both alone and with friends. An really underrated Namco title. Big recommendations from me!
