This game went with basically everything that is wrong within the gaming industry at the moment: - bare bone base game - designed only to sell DLC - low effort reusing of old assets Even though probably no one will ever read this I'll go into detail on what I think is wrong and why the latest part of a series, that I've been playing since DoA 2, does not deserve to be picked up by you just yet. 1. Why do I call this game bare bone and accuse it of reusing of content? Because it is essentially the same game we've had with 5 LR minus all the stuff that had been released over the long livespan of the fifth part of the series. Yes, you do get newly designed stages and improved graphics. But that's about it. The movesets are still mostly the same (here and there they might have changed a move but you will instantly feel at home with your main character). Game modes are still the same, they just added a quest mode ontop of everything. Costumes are very sparse in this one. You get one new design, the classic attire (and you can see they just slapped it on and improved the textures a little for stuff like fabric BUT it still looks of lower graphic quality than the new design), and one or two (depends on character) more outfits plus several recolors of each costume. 2. Why is this game a DLC trap or aimed at getting you to buy stuff? Well, as I said there is not much in it at the moment. Even on release one character is already hidden behind a paywall as deluxe exclusive. Then, ontop of a 75€ deluxe edition they also want you to purchase a 90€ season pass. I know what you think it's crazy for that thing to be more expensive than a deluxe edition there has to be some INSANE value in it, right? NOPE! Two future characters and a bunch of costumes but more like two sets so 26 characters get two new costumes. That's it. Feeling sick yet? It gets even better. Somewhere hidden in the details to the season pass you can read (and most people will probably not read it) that they are planning to release more DLC during the time the season pass runs that is not included there. I mean... yeah. Congratulations you just bought a subscription to our content for one season, that cost more than the game, but you're not even getting everything we gonna release. 3. I mean okay that's a bit shady but I can still enjoy the game with my base costumes right? Well... I am terribly sorry to tell you but you can't. You first have to unlock all but two costumes. And they come in costume fragments, for which you have to do quests. YES, DO QUESTS IN A FIGHTING GAME TO UNLOCK RANDOM FRAGMENTS! We heard people in the mobile market enjoyed that kind of thing. What is even worse is how the damage system of the characters is the fkin same for every single character: No matter how often you perform the meter special onto them (ya they only get bruised by that one single attack it's weird I know) they always get one cut on the cheek, one bleeding mouth corner and depending on the costume the mid section rips off and there is a cut on the stomache. That's the fakest attempt to market something as realistic character damage ever. It's just one attack changing the mode of your character period. They didn't even bother to make it different for each costume or each character, incredibly lazy! 4. But Jan, you play this game and you played all the other DoAs before and put up with Koei for over twenty years. Is there nothing that DoA 6 has going for it? Oh, there is. Like I said the graphics are way better. Not only did they add some shaders and improved the lighting and coloring (remember the pale colors of DoA 5 that required you to use reshade to get them saturated?), the stages are also competely redesigned and got super fun interactables. A major improvement was to bring the background from low res into high resolution meshes. I also feel like the movement and controls have been improved quite a bit. It has become easier to dash from walls, do midair combos with Kasumi or time your holds. And the slow channeling special attack has been replaced by a meter driven one button system for an easy to execute strong move. 5. So who should buy this game? Diehard DoA fans who don't want to miss a part. People who never played any other DoA and want to enter the series. Everyone else should just skip for now and wait until they release a new edition of DoA 6 with bundled content. There, now I've wasted my time writing a review for Steam where no one is able to read more than two sentences in a row. But if for some reason you made it down here and are reading this now I salute you and award you the title "the chosen one". I sincerely hope this review helped you evaluate wether to buy this game or not. It might sound super cynical and angry, but it actually isn't. The game really is how I described it. Thank you for bearing with me!Show moreShow less

It took them over a year too add something as basic as the option to change hair colors but they are withholding this feature from PC and XBOX users because they have not yet figured out how to make you pay for changing hair colors outside PS4. Yes something basic as changing hair colors is a paid feature. Let that sink in before you waste time and money on this game.Show moreShow less

This game is not worth $60. It is barely the same amount of content as 5, they cut all of the outfits and 2 characters out and are trying to sell it back to you for $93 on top of the $60 for the game. Typical corporate greed in the gaming industry at work.Show moreShow less

I see KT's filthy money horde tactics here: Horrible costume system by collecting "costume points" to unlock. You have to rely on luck since these points are used on random characters+ and their random costume. 100$ season pass- 50 costumes+2 characters for that much money? Soul Caliber offered 60$ for 5 characters+ 100 worth costumes. WHAT A RIP OFF. No lobby mode in early release - never learn any lessons from DOA5. THAT TELLS ME THEIR WORK ETHICS. CONCLUSION: IF YOUR ♥♥♥♥♥ TELLING YOU TO BUY IT, GO FOR IT. IF NOT, I WOULD ADVISE YOU TO LEAVE THIS PAGE IMMEDIATELY.Show moreShow less
