I played through every Soulcalibur game through 2023 into 2024 to relive some old memories, and spent the time to create this retrospective deep dive into the series, finding out where things were at their best, to the inevitable downfall of Soulcalibur all together. Sit back and enjoy this captivating journey I put myself on with this series I love.
