SoulCalibur VI
After a six-year gap, SoulCalibur VI once again brought the series back and it functions as a reboot for the story and timeline.
The game keeps most of the core mechanics intact, but adds on an interesting new Reversal Edge system, while also making tweaks to Soul Charge.
Reversal Edge essentially lets your character enter a parrying stance, blocking attacks and then hitting the enemy with an attack that puts the two of you into a “showdown.”
VI also features the very best story content of the series, with a detailed Libra of Souls mode that has you taking a custom character on a lengthy journey around the world.
At the same time, you can play through more traditional fighting game storylines for each character in the Soul Chronicle mode.
Of course, the game also features plenty of other modes like online play, arcade, and versus. The series’ tradition of guest characters once again makes a return with one of its very best, Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher.
Tight and intense gameplay, detailed story modes, and meaningful new mechanics make SoulCalibur VI one of the very best entries in the franchise to date.
