    Tekken 7 is a great time-killer that can hold its own against the latest installments of Guilty Gear and BlazBlue.

    [Tekken 7] blows other PC fighting games away in terms of scalability. If you want to play some solid rounds of time-tested 3D fighting, you can now do so on pretty much any modern computer with even the slightest bit of gaming hardware—or you can just as easily crank it up on a mid-high machine and a 4K screen.

    The game is incredible on PC, much more features than the arcade version. Im using a Qanba Obsidian stick and its perfect for this game. The game recognises all controllers without any issues. Tested 3 sticks so far, no problems. The game is deep and very rewarding to play. Have yet to find any issues with the PC version. Online is smoother than some games that have been out for a while (SFV).
    Its easily the best fighting game to come out in years. Ignore the poor reviews, they clearly have not played the game or are not fighting game veterans. highly recommended to those who love fighting games!

Unfortunately over all those years I think Tekken just lost its way, and became similar to Street Fighter series. I think it had all potential to become something like Dead or Alive 5 and even much better. But it hasn't. New characters are introduced, but they are quite similar to each other, there is not much difference in their fighting styles or combos. Fighting mechanics could have been much more intelligent.
    Somehow Lei Wulong is gone - a charecter with one of the most interesting fighting techniques. Movements are somewhat robotic, physics didn't advance much from T3 (it looks much better in DoA5 and in MK X), fighters hit each other with a sound of an empty can. In fact best Tekken features are those which were preserved from Tekken 3

    This is an updated revision for Tekken 7.I had resume it in pros
    Worst Tekken so far that I´m shocked! Updated completely honest review!

    This is an updated revision for Tekken 7.I had resume it in pros and cons.

    Pros.

    - New interesting characters

    - Hi resolution characters images presentation

    - Dramatic cool intro video

    Cons.(AND THERE ARE SEVERAL AND VERY BAD)

    - Irresponsable media hype,troll gamers including kids, casuals, youtubers ambassadors
    motivated by free gifts and quick cash grab and flashy presentation creates for the uninformed/missinformed,
    a short term illusion of a good purchase before trying out the product for real.

    - Only 3 offline modes. Story that is like a tutorial that I haven´t bother to complete
    yet and a pathetic Arcade mode.Plus treasure mode is a stupid joke.

    - Treasure mode only shows a single permanent stage.

    - Outdated and crappy graphics showed in all old characters who are the majority. Pretty evident even in history mode like Nina Williams.
    A white crappy glossy finish in all characters.

    - Customization icons for characters are cheesy, stupid, ridicule,hurried, limited and dull copycats of other games like the christmas suit copied directly from DOA 5 LR WHAT IS ANOTHER FIGHTING GAME THAT IS SUPERIOR IN EVERY DEPARTMENT AND OLDER THAT TEKKEN 7.

    - Ridicule number of modes, no more stuff like minigames. No beach volleyball, bowling, rpg mode,adventure mode, challenge mode,tekken dojo, not even Time Attack, survival, tag mode, combo challenge, trials, hidden featured unlockers, nothing at all like arcade fighting good games used to have, including previous Tekken releases.What a joke!

    - Several classic and important characters absent that its crazy !
    No more kangaroo,Anna Williams(sad),Baek ,Julia Chang ,Lei Wulong(sad),Mokijin(double sad),Raven,etc,etc.etc

    - Special crappy unbalanced copycat supermoves from DOA 5 LR again.( Mindless junk!)

    - Stages are mostly bland,boring, or quite silly like Kinder Gym,and Tekken 7 dev team even dare to copycat several of DOA5.LR.
    (You guys have proven worthy and very innovative.SARCASM!!!)

    - Idiotic HUD icons completely irrelevant as smiles on FB. Only issue here is this supposed to be a
    videogame not a stupid chatbox.
    Happy April´s fools? Duh.

    - 5 stages to finish Arcade including the final character that isn´t even a proper boss !

    - Character moves and combos severely changed from previous games to handicap them.

    - Online issues that cannot be improved any time soon by the poor sales.

    - Online rankings removed from display controversy because casuals got sick of fighting hardcore freaks.

    - F2P feeling resembling previous game alike from the series. - Microtransactions and dlc coming ahead. Wasn´t the full expensive price for this fighting incomplete game enough? - Controversial full game price whatever your port. In conclusion I don´t like to make game reviews to depict how can companies like ruin over tittles that were classics or at least were good before,motivated by greed. But in the case of Tekken 7 I was shocked of how can a previous success is treated with so much scorn and hate that can only be traduced like a wish for the total failure and bankrupt for a years ago cool ip. It´s sad to see what Namco Bandai did to Tekken at the end but at least I hope they go away with the madness and reconsider letting it go to die in peace like it deserves.F***!
