Or maybe an unlockable bazooka for single-player modes, or a "rhythm fight" mode where opponents basically dance against each other. Or an RPG-inspired hungry-meter and fighter-management system, where every fighter must be kept happy and well-fed like violent Tamagotchis. Anything to round out the core gameplay with more dimensions.… Expand

    If you are like me and have begun to grow bored with the onslaught of 2.5D fighters; Tekken 7 is you go to buy for the year, and then some (until perhaps Soul Calibur 6).

    Tekken has been around us for years, but in the last 10-15 years there has been a distinct line put in the sand on where the player falls in fighters. The rise of MLG is the most dominate reason for this but even    If you are like me and have begun to grow bored with the onslaught of 2.5D fighters; Tekken 7 is you go to buy for the year, and then some (until perhaps Soul Calibur 6).

    Tekken has been around us for years, but in the last 10-15 years there has been a distinct line put in the sand on where the player falls in fighters. The rise of MLG is the most dominate reason for this but even amongst the broader base gamers tend to fall on one side or the other. Personally, after the last few years of Street Fighter I found Tekken 7 refreshing to play.

    Combat in Tekken "feels" more like actual combat. The stalking of your opponent, squaring your fighters weight to accommodate the oncoming attack, learning the tells each combatant has, stringing attack combos like a natural form of martial art would teach (left to right, using your weight to carry each attack through, learning to defend side to side etc...) There is of course a number of absurd abilities thrown in since this is a fighting game and not a Martial Art Simulator, but the balance between the real and the absurd is good.

    The story mode is bonkers, but I didn't expect much here, as is the character customizer. Nothing says Badass fighter than wearing a Ukulele strapped to your back, a foam finger on one hand, a poodle hat and clown shoes.

    Graphics are standard which is good. I didn't find any slow down or delay in offline mode and near to none online (though I will chalk that up to my end of the agreement). The soundtrack is stellar as is the combat voice acting. The story mode voice acting? Well any American-English lines are cringy (i'm looking at you Nina!) though having characters converse in their native tongue was a nice touch, Hearing Claudio reply in Italian vs. translating him to Japanese was nice, but jarring when you have three characters on screen speaking three languages in reply to each other, which begs the question....why not just settle on one language? Or are we supposed to believe everyone in the Tekken universe is a polyglot?

    My one only negative I found with the game was in the combat that I like....but feel as if there's this invisible ball between each fighter. After an exchange combat kind of "resets" to this nebulous start point, which puts each player right outside striking distance. It forces each fighter to either dash/close the distance or back away, playing cat and mouse with their opponent. I am the type of player that like to fight inside and the fact it resets to outside striking distance in a 2D space infuriates me. I would rather keep the pressure on at all times in all 3 dimensions than moving back into a starting point for the next exchange. That might be the 2.5 D fighter in me, but it still irks me here.

    Still, Tekken 7 has a ton going for it and while this review is super late, It may entire someone to try it out; especially since the game has been marked down a smidge for the holidays. Pick it up and get into the groove of a new/old kind of fighter.    … Expand

    Core gameplay impeccable, everything else a step backwards..

    I have played all Tekken games since Tekken 2 and I cannot call this one of the best of the series (like T5 and TT2). The gameplay mechanics are very good, the battles feel fluid as ever and the fighting feels intense. Besides that, everything feels half baked: - Story mode is unfortunately a disappointment. It's short,    Core gameplay impeccable, everything else a step backwards..

    The gameplay mechanics are very good, the battles feel fluid as ever and the fighting feels intense.

    Besides that, everything feels half baked:

    - Story mode is unfortunately a disappointment. It's short, narrated poorly and does not feel like a satisfying ending to the 20 year feud between the Mishimas (that we were promised). It's okay but nothing more.
    - No more specific ending movies for finishing arcade with the different characters. You get a small engine-based movie for some characters after a 1-battle story segment, These are not interesting / funny/ sad like older movies from older games.
    - Arcade mode is practically useless. All characters are unlocked and movies are unlocked from story mode. So you basically get no built in way to try the characters and the new characters like Josie, Kazumi and Katarina are barely introduced at all in the game.
    - Currently (with emphasis on currently) Online works quite poorly. You will wait a lot of time for a match and there are disconnections here and there.
    - No Lei Wulong :(((

    Overall for ppl who only play tekken for online 1vs1 this is okay since the core gameplay is magnificent but wait for online to be fixed. However, be prepared that this game does feel bare bones and does not satisfy regarding the Mishima Story.

    Arcade mode is pointless as all the fighters are unlocked. To get their movie, you fight one single battle and its not even a CGI cutscene.

    No unlockable mini games. I was looking forward to a revamped Tekken Ball Mode ala Tekken 3. Once you completed the story, there's nothing much to do. They have a Treasure Mode which is like Ghost modes from Tekken 5, 6 and TTT2.

    Newcomers will love this. Loyal fans like myself will be disappointed. Not even soundtracks and ending movies from previous titles interest me.

    Only chance longevity at this point is Online and already the Ranking mode is already broken. I get 1 fight connected out of 10. Tournament mode is the only fun part, that's if you get a group from the same region and little ping.

    Rage Art is a joke, gives the losing person a chance by doing a move that'll take half your life away. I wasn't a big fan of the Rage system altogether to be honest.

    Tekkens 3, 5 and TTT2 imo are still the best of the series. Newcomers will enjoy this, but unless they release something like a Scenario Mode where you can grind gear and stats for your fighters like T6. This game's longevity won't go for very long, compared to other fighters like Injustice 2.

    I'm not going to be like other raging fan boys and give it a 0, but I'll give it a 7, putting my perspective to a new comer.

    I don’t see myself playing this game on a regular basis but if I were to get into a 3D Fighting game, this would be it. Adding Akuma such a smart decision because it helps bridge the gap between 2D Fighting game players and 3D Fighting Game players. I can’t fathom how they did it but doing the traditional 2D Fighting Game inputs doesn’t feel awkward nor does it look out of place. He just works so well in that game.

    One of my favorite gameplay mechanics is the slow motion kill cam. It doesn’t happen often but basically what triggers it is if both players are low on health and they both push a button at the same time. If those criteria are met then the game slows down, zooms in and you watch the animation of the two attacks. It’s so exciting because it just ramps up the hype.

    So to wrap things up, this is probably the best 3D Fighting Game of all time, it’s exciting and hype, it has a perfect character to help bridge the gap between 2D and 3D and finally its the best looking Fighting Game of the year. Fighting games are niche market but if you’re a fan of the genre then this is a must buy.    … Expand

    Tekken 7 still one of the best fighting games, this version has a new story mode focused on Heihachi and Kazuya's rivalry. It Brings classic characters and some new combatants, also new maps and a new soundtrack. But, It starts adding DLC content unlike his past versions.

    Key players are missing such as Lei Wulong and Julia Chang/Jaycee, which is something they will most likely release in the future. I'm SLIGHTLY disappointed, but either they will release them in the future or I'll just go play TTT2 or 6.

    As for the single player mode, we are missing many of the standard modes like Survival and Team Battle. But we are given Treasure Battle (also known as Ghost Battle with more loot.), which is fine, but doesn't really do that much different. Fortunately, there is a story mode, but even that is watered down with a needless narrative perspective; which only serves to make sure you take the Mishima storyline seriously.

    Taking a note from Capcom's Street Fighter V, the other characters get a chance to face off against their rivals after you finish the main story and allow to unlock their endings. Which, to be honest seems to be more of a rush job and less of a nod to fans.

    Ultimately, this and almost all fighting games now are gearing themselves towards online gameplay which is either a good thing or a bad thing. Me personally, I'm a local co-op player, so I guess I'm a dying breed. Also, as cool as the new Rage system is, it's TOO EASY to simply win a match with the press of ONE BUTTON. Matches are supposed to be tense and tight when your life is low, Rage takes away that excitement.

    Overall though, Tekken 7 is a step back from TTT2 and 6, but improves itself in ways that you will either embrace or hate.    … Expand

    The fighting mechanics are very solid, as are the graphics. However, a fairly mediocre roster and weak single-player content sadly drags the game down a few pegs. Also, while it will probably be patched eventually, it's still important to note that the online portion of the game is, at the time of writing this, suffering considerable issues.

I wanted to return the game as soon as i got it because i didn't understand anything, but the time i learned a single combo (Which is nothing in this game, NOTHING, it's the bare minimum to not be destroyed by the cpu on medium) i was hooked and became one of my favourite fighting games.
    So, core gameplay: 10. Characters... i like a lot of them, usually i get 3-4 characters i like, but here i like half the cast so it's quite a lot to enjoy
    -Story mode is... passable... to be honest 80% of it doesn't go anywhere... but there're some epic moments... to me, while those moments were great, the rest of the story was as meh as it could be.
    -Treasure battle is fun, you fight, you unlock things for customization... it's a nice way to make you play offline while you learn the game, keeps the things moving.
    -Customization is weird. You can make your own character, and tweak every color... but 80% of the costumes are shared between all the cast, and 90% of them are "weird". You may want to make a serious character but 90% of the items you can add to his back are giant pizzas, giant sushis, teddybears, etc... I've ended up customizing a little but it's not that good if you don't enjoy weird stuff
    - Online (PS4): it's bad... i'm from Argentina, south america, and more than a month since the game was released, i've not reached 30 online battles. The matchmaking takes up to an hour to find a match (while every other fighting game i play finds someone in a few minutes, so it's not a problem of my connection being bad, it's about where i am and that defines that the game is dead online.
    - tournament mode online won't work because if the creator of the tournament leaves, the tournament is closed, so basically, if he-she loses, he leaves because he doesnt want to wait and you get screwed and lose the prizes.

    So for me its one if not the more enjoyable fighting game nowadays but if you're on ps4 and south america online has been dead since arrival and even after 2 patches, things haven't changed.

Tekken 6 was the first game on the PS3, and the best. It had a giant roster of characters but more importantly it had a story mode, based on the Tekken Force introduced in Tekken 3 and 4. Now for the most part many fans didn't like this "Streets Of Rage" style scrolling beat-em-up mode, but that's ok, if you didn't like the mode you didn't have to play it. The mode was great because it was in effect two games in mode, Tekken 1 on 1 and Tekken scrolling beat-em-up. The game even had online coop mode. A first or a tekken game. Sure the newer releases have ever so slightly better graphics and more characters, however in TTT2 the scrolling beat-em-up mode was missing, it felt like a large chunk of the game had been removed, and it had annoying gimmicky features such as wall and bounce damage, there was also no online coop (obviously) but at least it had 2 on 2 combat which wasn't in Tekken 6, something new. And now we come to Tekken 7, it has different gimmicky features to TTT2 which aren't necessary, but now we have two key features missing, no tag team mode and no scrolling beat-em-up mode, going back to a game with only 1 and 1, and with a severely reduced roster of characters. Somehow the game feels very threadbare in comparison. I'm all for making the game better but taking away features that were awesome and considered new features in previous Tekken games, it's sad indeed. Tekken 7 is a great game, but TTT2 and especially Tekken 6 are better. Tekken 7 has less content than previous Tekken games making it an inferior product.

    First of all, let me tell you, this game is not really targeted to casual players who just want to play story mode and Arcade mode. Second of all, there is no tutorial for new players and all you get is text in the loading screen, that explains some movement/defensive options.
    The story mode is one of the better examples in the fighting game genre but it still takes only about 2-3 Hours to beat. There are also side Stories for Characters that are not involved in the main Story but those are just one fight long, which is really disappointing.
    The Arcade Mode is also not that long. 8-9 minutes for each Character and nothing really surprising. And then there is Training mode, which is a really great tool to learn characters and match-ups but then again....no tutorial on how to use it or how to use it efficiently.
    Then there is Treasure-Battle, a mode where you can fight the CPU for customisation Items for all the Characters on the roster and increasing your Offline rank. And yes, there is an Offline rank for Arcade-Mode (limited) and Treasure-Mode (unlimited).

    Online is where I think Tekken 7s strong site is. Online you can choose between Tournament Mode, Ranked Match and Casual Matches. You will always find matches equaling your Skill and it can get you hooked for hours. I had great fun playing online and also met some people.

    Visually Tekken 7 looks really awesome! The Fights feel so good and these slow-motion moments creating such a hype online and offline. Each hit gives you a setisfiing feeling that you want to achieve a hit again.

    Overall I like Tekken 7 but I don´t think it´s for beginners. Bandai said its accessible more then ever but I don´t see accessibility when there is no tutorial. If you want to have fun with Tekken you need to learn a lot of things and playing against the CPU is not going to justify a full price buy.
    My Advise: If you are a person that is confident about your fighting game skill and look for a challenge, buy it! But if you are new and want just to beat the story or mash some buttons against the CPU wait for at least half the price or even less.
    One more, if you are new and want to get good at Tekken give it time and hit up forums or youtube. Tekken has a very welcoming community and a lot of veteran players target their stream or video content towards new players!    … Expand

    Me pregunto por qué la resolución de los últimos Tekken es tan baja y el contenido tan escaso, con lo bien que lo hicieron Tag Team Tournament 2.

    A great game that unfortunately, for every two good things this game offers, it offers another thing just as bad. Examples of great improvements to the Tekken formula include the Screw system as well as the cinematic slow motion round end feature. The negatives include, characters that fundamentally break the game, as well as practices that are blatantly anti-consumer and while not quiteA great game that unfortunately, for every two good things this game offers, it offers another thing just as bad.

    Tekken 5 was a small part of my childhood.
    It's been quite long since I played a Tekken game for the last time... till recently.
    Tekken's strongest aspect was always the gameplay, and Tekken 7's core gameplay is awesome! It's very complex, it looks clean and it feels smooth... it's Tekken gameplay at it's finest. The roster is great, even though there are some questionable additions in.    Tekken 5 was a small part of my childhood.

    The roster is great, even though there are some questionable additions in.
    The visuals and the audio design are very dynamic and cool!
    The customization is fine and the music is... well, Tekken 7's soundtrack is mediocre at best but I like how there's an option to use tracks from the previous games in the series.
    The game is not flawless though, far from it.
    Some animations and character elements feel outdated or unpolished.
    The DLC characters are way too many in my opinion and half of them should've been included in the base game; locking classic Tekken characters behind a pay-wall is unacceptable.
    The Arcade Mode is a joke; it's very short and irrelevant.
    Also, the singleplayer content is just underwhelming.

    Pros:
    + Amazing gameplay
    + Very good roster
    + Complex mechanics
    + Nice visuals
    + Decent customization

    Cons:
    - Some minor elements are outdated
    - Too many DLC characters
    - Arcade Mode & singleplayer content

    Narrative: ?/10
    Gameplay: 9/10
    Content: 4/10
    Characters: 8/10
    Music: 5/10
    Graphics/Audio: 8/10

    Final Rating: 7/10
    - Good -
    Tekken 7 is a lot of fun when playing multiplayer either offline or online, but unfortunately, it's not without its flaws.
    It's still a very enjoyable fighting game though and a good game overall.

    Do I recommend it?:
    Yes, it's a nice modern fighting game!    … Expand

    It's a pretty fun game. The story was good and quick, I enjoyed from the beginning to the end. The climax of the mishima family arc was utterly epic.

    While this game has great variety of characters, looks, and fighting styles... the lack of offline modes compared to previous entries it's a problem. The gameplay is fun and nice but it is very hard to master. If you want a game with    It's a pretty fun game. The story was good and quick, I enjoyed from the beginning to the end.

    Game is not as good looking as Soul Calibur 6 or Dead or Alive 6, hopefully Namco can improve on the next one

    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]
