My personal favorite fighting game currently on the market.
Remember when 3D fighting games (As in they actually use the 3D space) were going to be the big thing? Then slowly but surely everyone started to gravitate back towards 2D fighting games. Now its only competitors are games that are owned by the same company (Tekken) or flawed anime ones.
So what makes these games fun? Being more tactical. Instead of trying to memorize a combo to deal as much damage to the enemies health bar, you tend to deal fewer but more meaningful hits to the enemy. This in conjunction with fully utilizing the 3D space of the fighting rings tends to make fights a large back and forth, giving you a larger range of attacks to try and catch the enemy off guard.
So while beginner friendly, it can also have a high skill ceiling (Though the latter is sometimes debated because...the internet...and some folks thinking that if a game doesn't give you carpal tunnel it doesn't require 'skill').
So what's new for this game? Well with the DLC this is one of, if not the biggest roster in the entire series. They've also made sure to go and edit characters so they don't feel copy and pasted like earlier entries, everyone feels fleshed out. A new mechanic that can parry and hit an opponent, that can be powerful if used at the right time, but exploited by more experienced players. And although not strictly 'new', characters now have a gauge that powers up and can be used to either pull off a super attack, or given a boost that enhances moves and attack power.
My only real complaint is that the second story mode where you create a character and roam around the world has its difficulty setting turned towards the easy side with no real way to change it. I'd say what's on offer for singleplayer folks is strong compared to its competitors, but not as deep as SC IV and not as vast as SC III's.

An interesting way too make a fighting game but it didn't hook me
Crio os personagens mais fodas nisso (o jogo é bão também)
The fighting game mechanics are garbage but the character creation is fucking peak. Nothing like pub-stomping until the fat loser with the big titty OC girlfriend fighter 3-0's you in under a minute.
i enjoyed the memes i dont really care for fighting games
Really good and fun fighting game, and not that difficult to play. I think it's kind of meh that the main story doesn't have 3D cutscenes like the previous game, but I think it's understandable, since there's a huge variety of stories in this game, the creation mode is also very good, I loved the addition of the type of character you create ... but I think it lacked more varieties of equipment.
It's definitely one of the fighting games of all time. While I can't vet for balance (because I only know that in terms of Skullgirls) I can vet that it is a stupidly fun character-meme simulator that people can fight in. While maybe not the best game i've ever played, its definitely fun for the time I spent in it, although I would need a reason to play it, otherwise, i'll stick with fighters I think are better. Otherwise, it's alright.
I´m not a great Soul Calibur fan, but this series has been present in various meetings with my friend trough the years. As I'm not and expert, is hard to compare improvements in the combat and so, but the presentation, roster and graphics are awesome. And the new guest characters are on point.
A cursed character creator with a rebooted soul calibur story
Made some funny characters, and had a few laughs with my chums. It was fun, but it ran its course.
One of the best fighting games with great customization
Dos o más ratas se pelean por una espada mágica con Paul St. Peter de fondo
cool character creator, needs more clothes
A real cacophony of madness.
An exceedingly solid 3D fighter featuring its coolest characters locked behind an additional paywall.
Cassandra is locked as DLC in this game.
Bleh.
Mechanically this is a great game. If you're really that interested for some reason though, please just don't spend money on this.

This was good but as with the previous 2 games the problem is that SCIII was too good and you can just play that instead or even SCII
I just love goofing off in fighting games, they don't have to be great to be fun.
The game that's famous for its character creator
there is one reason i hated this game they were so genius to make some mine characters DLC i can’t believe this shit fuck you again project soul
Insane CAC options
i can make extremely creative and funny custom characters... or i can put people in revealing outfits
Divertido pra caramba porém meio morto no PC.
2B is in this game :)
Gameplay isn't my cup of tea, But i got it because of the character customizer.. It's not as good as it seems. There's a lot of no-clipping beetwen items, and there's really not that many armor pieces to begin with. Cool races, though
i'm shit at the game but character creation was fine
I love this game, definitely has a special place in my heart. It's not a perfect 5 star game, but it's fun as hell. Here's hoping for Soul Calibur 7!
Einer der besten Soundtracks in der Prügelspielgeschichte, hat es geschafft jeden Teil schlechter zu werden.. wurde hier leider nicht besser.
The Libra of Souls became infuriatingly difficult, so I'm instead considering this beaten on the basis of the Chronicle of Souls story mode which was significantly easier to complete.
In general, I appreciate that this had an absolute shitload of single player playtime built into it between the two modes and I got a ton of value out of it.
I admit I'm not great at fighting games despite how much I enjoy them, but I do think the Libra of Souls should have had some sort of toggle for difficulty settings to make it easier to complete the story.

Just needs rollback, but great game with really food mechanics that lend to each characters playstyles
We fawking love you Amy
