    Ugh, can't help feeling this is a step backward for the franchise. The whole thing feels schizophrenic; too flashy, too fast, too distracting, too shiny skin, too gritty filters.

This game reminds me of listening to one of those Mexican radio stations where the DJ interrupts every song with the same echo/reverb sound effect. And don't even get me going on story mode; feels like it was written by a fifth grader. Maybe when I have spent more time with it I will appreciate some advancements in the fighting engine I haven't noticed yet, but the whole presentation is so loud, flashy, and generally offensive that I have little interest in playing. And with less 3D movement it feels more like mortal combat than tekken. IMHO SoulCalibur IV remains the best 3D fighting game and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 the best of the Tekken series.… Expand

Accepting rematch with same opponent and map? I need to load it. For a game with so little textures and objects, this **** is constantly loading - you get old in this game, waiting for anything to happen.

    Bottom line, if you are a billionaire who burns money and just want to waste time by waiting for something to load and then lag to death... still dont buy it, donate to charity. It is the only online game I play that has so many, basic problems. It is as if Harada and his team, spend this 3 years on designing hats and tshirts for characters (which are still ugly ) instead of making online works, online which is the only thing making this game worth any penny. Its a waste of time and money, run, switch franschise, as clearly there is no future in Tekken. If in 2017 they cannot figurate out online gameplay, then really something is wrong with dev team.    … Expand

    Tekken 7 is a predictable follow-up to a series that's never aimed particularly high, it may please casual gamers for a day or two but the stagnant ongoing series is definitely in the second tier of fighters way below Capcom or NetherRealm Studios games, and it's seriously getting old and tired.

The lack of depth and subtlety and the emphasis on the offensive, rather than the defensive, puts this squarely two notches below the best in the genre, the "who-can-get-their-super-move-off-first" gameplay leaves much to be desired from a serious fighting game player. Like the prequels, Tekken 7 is geared towards casual gamers and anyone who's been exposed to more technical, more dynamic fighting games will quickly pass on tekken. Other top fighters, namely Street Fighter, DoA and MK games have advanced impressively in their latest installments; but the relic that is tekken just can't seem to evolve, furthermore many combos can be done simply by hitting 1-button, and the nearly "instant-kill" rage art moves are just laughably broken. Instead of a supplying a proper fighting engine, matches in T7 seem to rely heavily on "who can get their rage move off first". So many elements of the gameplay don't even require any sort of skill. In my book, slow motion over and over again also gets old very quickly. And in the end, it's more of a novelty or gimmick rather than an actual, thought-out fighting game mechanic. But hey, the casual crowd will be pleased!

    I play fighting games primarily for their single-player content. This one, unfortunately, doesn't have a lot of that.

    First of all, playing on a standard PS4, I was a bit disappointed that the game didn't run at 1080p. Everything look blurry compared to every other fighting game on the system.

I would say it feels like I'm playing on a PS3, but I just played Soul Caliber V at 720p on a PS3 and it looked sharper than Tekken 7 on PS4 (due to it outputting a native 720p image vs Tekken's upscaled 1080p image).

    I got used to the blurriness and didn't notice it much during fights, so it's not that bad.

    Story mode wasn't as good as I was expecting. The main story covers only about 5 of the characters, and isn't very interesting. I remember the story in one of the Tekken Tag Tournament games (forgot which one) was more interesting and involving than this.

    As for the other characters, you get only a couple of paragraphs each for them and a single fight. This is as close to "no story at all" as you can get.

    And to top off story mode, most of the non-Japanese voice acting is bad. I've gotten used to being able to switch to Japanese in other fighting games so I wouldn't have to deal with horrible English voice acting. There's no option here since everyone speaks their native language. Besides that, it is a little weird that everyone partakes in multi-language conversations.

    As for unlockables, there's a large number of player-specific health bar/menu skins which are useless unless you play online. There's a small number of unlockable costumes and costume pieces. Compared to Soul Caliber V, the costume pieces are higher quality and fit the characters better, but there's much less variety. There's also extras videos from the previous games that you can pay in-game money to unlock. These are sort of useless since I can watch them on youtube or by playing the previous games.

    As for how to unlock things, you can either play online or play treasure battles. The treasure battles are just regular fights that go on forever. Each time you win, you get a random item, most of which are not primary costume pieces. It's not that fun and I wish there was some sort of unlock progression or grid where you can choose which direction to go with what you want to unlock.

    So yeah, no skill challenges, no mini games that involve fighting, nor other interesting things that make single-player play more fun. Fighting continuous battles or online play is all you get.

    Extras are bare too. No battle recorder, no commentary, no figures (like in Guilty Gear), no good photo mode/poser, nor anything else that you might be able to sink your time into without going online.

    I hope this trend of no-single-player content doesn't continue. Well, I've always got DOA and Guilty Gear. But it might only be a matter of time before they strip away all of their content and revert to being bare-bones fighting games too.    … Expand

And the latest 1.03 update really got me angry as it completely rearanged customization color palette, where black color is more like light grey. What gives? Why can´t there be true black color option in all outfits, users would still be able to use grey color if the like...

Some of the textures are embarrassingly bad, there is no denying that. It will look like a last gen PS3 game a good amount of the time. Other than that, if you can ignore the fact that it looks awful, it really is a brilliant game with tons of things to do and lots of awesome characters. I just really cannot believe that the PS4 cannot do such a simple game at 1080p. I am re-rating this from a score of 3 to a score of 1 because I forgot to mention that the online is not working for pretty much anyone.

    As a huge Tekken fan from the start I was really looking forward to the first Tekken on PS4. The developers took their time on this game but it has been let down by lack of fighters, content and online problems.

    The fighting itself is great as always. In offline modes it is always perfect but online can be problematic with lost connections and a bit of lag outweighing actual fights by 10-1.

    The modes and story are weak, very weak. The story mode is a short mess. I wanted to get Paul Phoenix to super punch the narrator all the way through. The extra fighter stories are one fight and a little ending after it which are ok but add nothing to the story and you will not want to fight to go back to them again. Arcade mode is very dissapointing. The only mode where I try all fighters to see each ending. There are no endings so I have used this only once and will never go back to it, whats the point? Treasure Battles become a tedious grind. Even after grinding like hell I have not got the yellow jump suit or any decent unlocks. Maybe a twig to put on someones head after 200 fights is a joke.

    To sum up stripping the game of extra modes like tekken force or bowling to add as paid DLC is blatant thievery. The poor story and arcade modes and no survival mode is a joke. Removing two of my all time fave fighters Baek and Lei and many many others is unacceptable. Who does not like a Bruce Lee vs Jackie Chan grudge match with your mates? All of this along with poor online connections has prevented this game becoming the best in the series.

    Updated.
    Season 1. Seaon one is hands down the worst season pass I ever bought. Tekken bowl was included before free so is there going to be online? No. Can you play more than 2 people? No. Poor effort. 2 guest fighters also came with season one. First was Geese. Geese was a bit of nostalgia trip bit I soon bored of him like Akuma. 2d fighters dont seem great in Tekken IMO. The second fighter Noctis from Final Fantasy XV is so annoying Id rather pick Lucky Chloe.

    Season 2 is coming with Negan, worst character in the TWD series. Could be up there in the annoying stakes with Noctis and Lucky Chloe. And there will also be some badly missed fighters added like Anna and Lei. Harada said any returning fighters would not be paid dlc. For this reason along with the worst season pass I ever bought and poor full release I will never buy another Tekken game again. I lost many years playing the great Tekken it saddens me that this tripe is all Namco and Harada can offer now.    … Expand

    Firstly I was pretty upset about the roster cutbacks, I lost my 2 main characters (Lei/Roger) and I'm not the only one... Where are the other classic characters??? Mokujin? Armor King? Marduk?????? Instead they are replaced by weeb-friendly characters like Eliza and Lucky Chloe. The guest character could have been a good idea, if they took a character from a 3D fighter and reworked it rather than using Akuma from 2D Street Fighter, just feels wrong.

    Story mode is about as interesting as paint drying, the new screw system just isn't as fun and fast paced as the juggle/bound system on T6 & TTT2, and don't even get me started on Rage Art, way to dumb down the game and make it accessible for any old button-masher to win! Namco/Harada did this game for the money and definitely not for the die-hard fans.

    However I will commend the deep character customisation, it can be pretty good fun messing around with all the possibilities there.

    TL;DR - personal opinion 4/10 due to lack of content esp for age-old Tekken fans like myself (played since the first) also Namco's plan to monopolise on DLC by releasing about 15 chars on roster then releasing the rest as extra payable content, wtf happened??? But if you're a casual fighter fan and looking for something to pick up and play with friends - this is probably the best 1v1 fighter on the shelves for PS4/XB1 right now, but keep your eyes peeled.

    The game has several offline game modes along with online mode. Story Mode, Arcade, Versus Practice, Gallery, Tekken Jukebox (only for PS4) just some of them.

    Roster is quite big. Despite the lack of some fan-favourites (inc. myself) such as: Julia, Lei WuLong and Bruce; veteran characters such as Kazuya, Heihachi, Asuka, Law, Paul..are still here. Roster is wide enough for both casual and hardcore players. Too bad this game got the junk characters such as Gigas, Lucky and animals: Kuma-Panda. What a wasted slots. And yes, this time, the game has one special guest character from the SF series: Akuma

    Story mode is one of the major disappointments of the game. Obviously not satisfying for those who want to see what's gonna happen to Mishima Storyline (Unlike Injustice 2, story mode is quite weak and pretty limited by character selection). Gameplay is also lame, not even giving you proper gameplay and many more (so i don't want to give any spoiler)

    Main gameplay mechanics remained same. Tekken 7 introduced two new main mechanics: Power Crusher and Rage Art. Bound moves are finally removed from the game. Rage Art is basically special super move for each character. Rage still exists, but does not add as much damage as it would in T6 and TTT2. Rage's new function is to give characters access to Rage Arts. Lastly, power crushers let you absorb the damage that come from attacks and continue with a move whichever you want. Character commands are pretty much same with the older entries except the minor differences.

    On the other hand, sound effects are another using of old samples. Can’t say voice actions are so great. As for music…well this is a disaster single-handedly. Clearly worst in the series. Fortunately, PS4 owners can modify their own BGMs via jukebox option (it’s pretty randomized tho.)

    Indeed graphics are outdated and not next-gen at all. After seeing Injustice 2 story mode’s quality, difference is considerably clear. Especially hair models look so plastic and lame. I still have no idea, why they completely removed those vanilla Tekken 7 stages for no reason. New ones are look so filtered and non-realistic.

    Weird wig models and colors are still part of customization mode. Almost nothing is new in this mode thus they even put the same outfits from TTT2.. such laziness. Not to mention those ridiculous and junk accessories that Namco insistly put on it. Nothing is unusual and out of inspired. Nowhere near Injustice 2 customization feature. Only good thing about this mode: it's theme.

    Verdict.. well this is another cheap, unsatisfying and insufficent installment of the franchise. I think this is the result of aiming arcade community all over. Still good for versus-online modes but definitely not good for whole console packaging. I don’t think casual gamers gonna praise it. The game is far from being masterpiece even it’s own series..Play on..    … Expand

    Biggest POS for too many reasons.

    Game is trash and developers lack creativity and talent. Just another modern day cash grab.

    Josie is the only new character with any classic feel but the game's too radically imbalanced anyway.

    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.

    This is the pinnacle of the Tekken series – a joy to play, with a wealth of content, that's as challenging and precise for aficionados as it is inviting and engaging for neophytes. A masterpiece of the fighting genre.

    Welcoming back old hands and encouraging newcomers, Tekken 7 beats its own path and ensures that you want to walk it, kicking various backsides along the way. [Aug 2017, p.83]
