About this game

6Souls is a PlayStation 4 adventure game centered on location exploration, character and object interaction, and objective or clue progression. Locations, objectives, and clues gradually open the main chapters, with progress divided into stages, tasks, matches, or growth milestones that make immediate goals understandable. Its value depends on whether these rules continue to create judgment and room for mastery rather than on length, sales, or series recognition. Short campaigns are judged by repeat-challenge value, while longer ones are judged by variety, pacing, and recovery after failure. Theme, character expression, and environmental clues need to support exploration together, while HD output, HDR or PS4 Pro modes, HDD streaming, surround audio, and television-distance interfaces need to preserve action, state, and text readability together. The genre-specific limitation is that guidance, objective triggers, camera behavior, or dense text can create search and comprehension costs. Platform conditions also include HDD installs and loading, patch version, storage space, DualShock 4 battery life, PS Camera or PS VR requirements, visual modes, frame rate, and network services affect the current release. This description covers only this platform release and does not import features or conveniences from remasters, emulators, or other console editions.

7.5 / 10PlayStation 4

Rewarding dash routes with less convincing swordplay.

The best moments in 6Souls come from studying a chain of hazards and turning separated platforms into one continuous route. Wall grabs, jumps and aerial dashes combine into satisfying sequences, while a canine companion can enter spaces his owner cannot. Bosses and hidden collectibles give practiced players additional goals. Short levels make another attempt manageable, but lethal hazards and several movement inputs require concentration. Sword attacks lack knockback, so avoiding an enemy can feel better than fighting it. Expressive pixel characters and electronic music keep the adventure buoyant. This is most appealing to players who enjoy the process of turning repeated mistakes into a clean run, rather than those looking for equally developed combat and exploration.

Strengths

  • Movement abilities create satisfying routes.
  • Compact stages reward repeated practice.

Weaknesses

  • Sword hits lack knockback.
  • Several movement inputs take adjustment.

Who it is for: Players who enjoy precise platforming and repeated short attempts.

Play notes: Frequent instant deaths; handling evidence describes the 2022 PS4 experience.

Short stages contain the cost of lethal mistakes, while bosses and optional collections reward practice. Repeated failures still demand patience.

Stamina and chained dashes make routes engaging to solve. Sword attacks without knockback make avoidance more attractive than sustained combat.

Expressive sprites and chapter-specific music give the castle personality. Some backgrounds repeat, but the audiovisual identity supports the action.

Reviewed7.8 / 10Not provided

The PS4 account supports smooth, precise platforming. Separate jump, grab and dash inputs take adjustment and mistakes can end a long sequence.
