Author’s take: I’ve always thought of Soulcalibur as a super approachable fighting game with enough depth to excite hardcore gamers. I’ve played it a few times already and I’ve always been left with great things to say about the controls and combat. The game looks absolutely gorgeous and I can’t wait to see how the team has evolved the series for this new generation console space.
