    Decent enough if you're okay constantly getting your ass kicked in multiplayer. Ranked matches don't help.

    Playing this in 2023 (free with PS Plus). A key thing to note is that I haven't really played Tekken, except for a few goes here and there at my friend's house on the original PS1 when I was a kid. Accordingly, I didn't really enjoy this. A Google search suggests that there are lots of deep mechanics, but none of them are explained because there are no real tutorials. And then needs to be.Playing this in 2023 (free with PS Plus).

A Google search suggests that there are lots of deep mechanics, but none of them are explained because there are no real tutorials. And then needs to be. I just couldn't get into the flow of the game. I felt I was just being juggled by the enemy constantly and couldn't break out of it. Obviously, I'm just crap. But I'm an experienced gamer and platinum many games. 2D fighters like Injustice and Mortal Kombat have much more in-depth tutorials and explanations built into the game. I can see some people loving this. But it just wasn't for me. And the Rage Art thing is crap - you can perform a special powerful move when you hit below 20% energy, effectively rewarding you for losing and arbitrarily trying to make it a close fight. Injustice is better because you build up the bar by actually winning and can then use the bar in different ways.… Expand

    Terrible story mode. Force you to play w character you want nothing to do with. No option to restart matches. Not very enjoyable been playing Tekken since the first one. I hate this installment

    The Tekken on PS1 is still much better than this. Even better graphics in my view!
    This looks like a very cheap Anime-copy of the PS1 version!

    Even after so many years.. we still cant have normal online matches. Searching for oponents sometimes takes up to 20 minutes and then you get " connection lost " . Garbage Namco did absolutelly nothing to fix that horrendous online lobby search.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have been a fan of this franchise since the first one. The character rooster seems way too heavily focused on milking money off of other franchises and not enough thought or ideas into the rooster. This game is way too heavily focused on the E-Sport side of the game than the majority of the fan base. the game lacks solo player minigames and every character feels the same now since they tweak everything in the game for competitive online play. The rooster is just random characters from other games and movies and based on racal professency. Where is the playable devil Kazya or playable boss characters we used to get in these fighting games that made the game fun for the solo players? No where because games are to focused on esports and youtubers to care about the true fan base by milking money out everything without any thought or good idea into the game. Sorry for those that like this game but the game is a big step back for me. The story was completely ruined by containing non-tekken characters in the canon story.… Expand

    Off brand mortal combat, way to many possible combos to remember, story is dry, when yo
    ur opponent gets low he gets a super which in theory means you want to be losing and blocking just makes no sence what so ever. If your look for a fighting game take up mortal combat or injustice, maybe even street fighter but itd just poorly developed with bad graphics, dont recommend.

    If you have played any other PVP game made in the last decade you will quickly realize just how incredibly incompetent this game is.

This game is truly surprising in just how many ways it manages to be incompetentIf you have played any other PVP game made in the last decade you will quickly realize just how incredibly incompetent this game is. A working online mode should be the bare minimum, so should an anti-cheat system and all the dozens of other things that Tekken lacks despite them being the industry standard. This game is truly surprising in just how many ways it manages to be incompetent in. Everything outside of the match is beyond half-assed and most of the things inside are too. Like srsly, how can you possibly justify the animations in this game? if your character kicks me in the forehead then that is not a mid-attack. A stomach punch is not a low. Do you like having to spend hundreds of hours learning the absolute basics? because every single thing in this game is made to torture new players. Enjoy playing against people that have played this game for decades and struggling to find anyone that's actually your skill level, since the game saves your rank locally which means you are going to spend most of your time playing against smurfs that keep resetting their account and on the off chance that you manage to beat them they will just close the game which won't count as your win because why not. After all, if you want to keep playing this game you are going to have to lower your expectations immensely. Do you want to find out just how little a company can care about its product while also acting like they are complete game design geniuses and a gift to you? Do you want to smash your controller? Then this is the game for you. Btw your DLC is saved in a text file. It takes seconds to unlock it all. Pure incompetence.… Expand

    I played Tekken 5 a lot when I was a kid and I feel deeply saddened to see the carelessness and laziness of such developers to make Tekken 7.

A ridiculous laziness to innovate the bases, attacks, character appearances and graphics of the game. It makes me sick just to look at the faces of Negan, Anna and Julia. Their faces look pure PS2. They're extremely well done in the arts available in the fighter selection menu, but during gameplay it's a disastrous downgrade.
    You guys are quick when it comes to bringing in new characters and unfairly selling them apart. But they are slow and remiss to send an update that improves the look of the game. Another great franchise disgraced by the laziness and carelessness of the developers.    … Expand

I literally have no idea what the devs had in mind when they made the mechanics of the game but it just blows my mind. The game itself is beautiful, the moves are awesome, it's the best looking Tekken game so far, but the fact that characters just keep fckn bouncing, splashing from the ground, from the wall, from everywhere is incredible. The core of the game is basically who can hit you up into the air first and keep juggling you, making it impossible for you to get up until you're dead. 90% of the players are doing this, they are not even attacking just waiting for you to make a move, make a juggle and then take half or even three-quarter of your life by mashing 2-3 moves, keeping you in the air and making it impossible for you to get up.

    Side steps are useless in the game, there are a few characters who are faster than everyone and on top of all the crap that was successfully delivered in this game, luckily we also have rage, which allows the worst, most mediocre players to win a match, even though they would've lost because they have no idea what they are doing, other then repeating 2-3 moves over and over again.

    I couldn't wait for this one, thought it would be the best Tekken ever made but you could just literally call it Tekken Bounce or some sh*t like that because that's what it's all about. Bouncing characters and not getting up ever again if you make just one mistake. (Wish I could rate this a -1)

    The game is a throwback to previous versions. graphics for a powerful hardware like the ps4. The story mode was totally compromised and changed for the worse. The game had huge and unnecessary loading as for example when I asked for a replay in multiplayer. It takes a long time to find an opponent.

For the first time in my life I will not be getting tekken on launch when 8 comes out because 7 has been a joke. The music is awful (as all tekken music has been since 3) and the stage environments are lacking. Overall this is a dull soulless half-game spread thinly over 3years.

    Oh Boy where do i start here.
    Doesnt matter if your casually playing or competetive. Both ways are depressing af.

    (This is based on my opinion and expirience with this game)

    Pro's
    - Music is alright. Some of them are ok - amazing. With jukebox you can choose every tekken Soundtrack.
    - Graphics
    - Playing with your friends (if you have some)
    - A lot of characters u can choose from ( also viewed negatively but i will come back to this point later)

    Con's
    - To many Characters (I think there are 50). If you play casually and ur fine with it getting ur ass beat all the time because u don't know the moves than its ok. But playing competetive is so depressing because learning every move in this game is actually impossible. There are 5000 of them. Good luck.
    - DLC pay to win. Not every DLC-character but most of them are PTW. They have moves that original character dont have or are not that good. A little example: Negans Powercrush launcher (wtf), Fahkumrams insane backdash, movement in general, absurd moves, DMG and broken hitbox. No one knows what to do against zafina. And don't get me started on leroy. He's just an ultra darksouls boss with every perfect move.
    - If you play against DLC-Character and you dont have DLC, than u are screwed af. You cant lab them. You cant choose them in training to look up there moves and learning how to punish ect. Good luck playing against Zafina and Lei.
    - Costumization is a joke.
    - No offline modes that are actully fun to play
    - Playing online is cancer. The worst connection a fighting game could have. In most of the time you are playing with 4bar connection but the problem is, there are huuuuuuge lagspikes evey 5 seconds. Even if you play with 5bar. 3bar connection is sometimes worse than 1bar. This game not playable online. You are loosing so many games because of that. You can not properly punish or break grabs. I really don't know what they've done here. What a joke.
    - Playing against noctis is kinda cancer. Same with leroy and negan. Why are negan, leroy and noctis play so cancer and toxic???
    - Both vulcano stages are cancer for your eyes

    They ruined Tekken. I guess they wanted to make it more like Street Fighter, but to me the best part of Tekken was NOT being like SF. The new flashy animations and particle effects add nothing, in fact they're just distracting and disorienting. The less said about the money-grubbing microtransactions just to get characters that should have been included in the base game, the better.

    The game has devolved to a sort of bum rush beat-em up. Whoever gets to juggle to the wall first wins. A lot of powerful moves that are easy to execute and with a lot of range, which in-turn makes movement and side-stepping irrelevant. Just play characters with launchers that are good crushers then you're good to go.

    Tekken 7 is very much Tekken, exactly like you've always known it. Luckily the game knows how to get maximum gain out of seemingly minimal additions, like the flashy Rage Arts, tactical Power Crushes and surprisingly spectacular presence of Street Fighter icon Akuma. But due to the pretentious and disappointing single-player content it will never be a classic.
