    I had been waiting for this game for years. and i can say tekken 7 is the best fighting game of current generation and it worth waiting.
    the story is OK but i expected a much better and longer story but it's already exciting but some new players who don't know the story might not get it.

    the fighting system can't be any better they have improved tekken's awesome gameplay in the best way possible with new moves like rage art.and there are several enjoyable modes like arcade mode and treasure battle.online tournament mode is the best new addition. the only disappointing thing is that they have removed "team battle" mode which was the best offline mode since tekken 3 to tag 2 and me and my brother and my cousins played this mode more than any mode i hope they will bring this mode back with an update. and there is no reason for absence of "lei", "anna" and "roger jr" in characters i hope they return.

    the graphics are much better than previous titles but the game runs at 900p on ps4 and it's kind of annoying while much graphically heavier and more realistic games like injustice 2 and gta v .etc run at 1080p on ps4 but it's still beautiful to look at and play.

    although I've never been a fan of rock and metallic music i love game's musics and jukebox feature allows you to listen to all memorable musics from previous games.

    Tekken 7 is the best game in the series but they have to improve it by updates.    … Expand

    The next installment to the tekken series is here and I have to say that I am enjoying it but it is far from a perfect game. The story is more focused around the Mishima's which makes sense since the series has pretty much revolved around Heihachi, Kazuya, and Jin. It is pretty short and can be finished within 2-3 hours depending on whether or not the computer doesn't beat on you and onceThe next installment to the tekken series is here and I have to say that I am enjoying it but it is far from a perfect game.

It is pretty short and can be finished within 2-3 hours depending on whether or not the computer doesn't beat on you and once it is done you unlock other character's sidestory fights that don't necessarily tie into the Mishima's.

    The combat system flows really well and rewarding when you execute a good combo in a certain order. Rage arts are cool but really simple to pull off (either it is just pressing 2 buttons at the same time or it is hold a certain direction + 2 buttons at the same time) except for Akuma's at least.

    The roster has been decreased to 38 fighters but more have been promised to be added later. So far all the doubles have been removed like Christie, Armor King, Anna, and Baek are gone as well as Lei, Wang, Marduk, Bruce, and Roger jr.

    Single player game modes, like arcade, have been kinda made pointless since all it does is earn you fight money which you can earn in treasure battle plus cosmetics which can either be added to all characters or just one in particular.

    Online for me was laggy as hell and I could hardly connect to other players so I can't really talk about it.

    Tekken is a great fighting game if you are looking to play with friends and family locally. Though you should probably wait for it to go on sale, due to its lack of modes and really short story, unless you have the money to spend    … Expand

    I love this game so much. The main story is somewhat short and sweet and so much content outside of the story. I did a Tournament online recently and that was hella good. I came 2nd, but what can you expect coming up against Martial Law in 1st :D

    Increíble juego, actualmente veo que están mas al pendiente de lo bonito que se vea, en vez de la experiencia de su jugabilidad, cosa en la que Tekken brilla. Sin problemas en partidas online, The Mishima Saga es muy bueno, pero muy corto, aun asi es muy buiena experiencia y en definitiva el mejor juego de peleas en la actual generación.

    It's tekken what you need to know afterall, so if you buy it you know what you get.
    After a year in japan we can get hands on. Despite difficulty levels is a little lower related to the other tekken it is still amazing! the care to the details are impressive. costumes, characters. Ok if you love tekken you have to get it in my opinon

    Tekken 7 was the first Tekken game I got on Day 1...and I kind of regret that.

At first I was hesitant to buy this one, cause I'm use to getting them when they're cheaper (like around $20 or less). I decided to give this one a shot, and paid the full $60 plus tax for it. I don't regret getting the game, I just regret paying the full price, cause while this game at its core is really great, it's very lacking in the extras, whereas the others had some pretty cool extras. At its core, the game runs smoothly, it feels great to play, and it's just really solid overall. But when it comes to fighting games, they need some good extras if you're going to pay the full $60. Most of the past Tekkens seemed to have more than what this game has, at least good stuff. It also lacks more characters. Not saying there's very little characters, but it seems like there's less than before. The story mode was mediocre and so were everyone's endings. I got this thinking it was going to be the last main Tekken game, but I found out it's not. So this game is mostly just ok. I'd say wait for a price drop or sale for this game.… Expand

    Namco moved to Unreal Engine 4 which allowed better visuals and the spectacular Rage Art moves which has been introduced in Tekken for the first time. But i feel that the characters could have a better outlook. The hair looks very unreal and something about the characters gives the feel that they are not planned out well ( -1 point).

    Apart from that, it is still one of the best fighting games. So if you are thinking about it and are a fan of the Tekken franchise, go for it!!!    … Expand

Rage Arts and Power Crush techniques are designed to help new players, but these new mechanics are heavily punishable by 3D fighting game fundamentals and skill. Tekken 7 is a no BS fighting game.

    Gameplay wise, Tekken 7 is arguably the best fighting game ever made. It's rather complex when compared to other fighters, but the time needed to dig in starts paying off quickly. The satisfaction you get when you execute a difficult air combo on your opponent is unmatched, the flow of the fights is perfectly balanced and graphics are top notch.

    Unfortunately, Tekken 7 loses a point for the terrible online service and the dumb decision to not penalize people who leave a game in ranked play (thus denying you a win, another dumb design choice) and another point for the lack of any relevant singleplayer content.

    Really great game. Lots of nonsense criticism in comments like cast of characters mentioned by user Toxicology - ill get to that later, according to ablan Injustice is better because tekken is more button mashing friendly - seriously? You can win by button mashing in injustice/mk but good luck trying that in tekken against anybody who knows how to play. Rage art also criticised by ablan -Really great game.

Rage art also criticised by ablan - dude You know that this is mechanic straight from street fighter/mkx (super combo/x-ray)? Go flame somewhere else because Youre doing it wrong.
    On to the lack in cast - those listed by user Toxicology:
    First of all Alex, Ancient Ogre, Angel, Armor King ½, Azazel, Christie Monterio, Combot, Devil Kazumi, Dr. Bosconovitch, Forest Law, Gun Jack, Jinpachi Mishima, Julia Chang, Jun Kazama, Michelle Chang, Miharu Hirano, Mokujin, Prototype Jack, Raven, Roger, Roger Jr, Tiger Jackson - those were all reskins from cast who is actually on the rooster, dumb kangooro or raptor like roger/alex or **** end bosses like azazel - who really misses those? Good riddance. Well Christie was nice reskin from Eddy gordo.
    We actually can miss Anna Williams, Baek Doo San, Bruce Irvin, Craig Marduk, Ganryu, Julia Chang, Kunmitsu, Lei Wulong, Wang Jinrei, Zafina, but only 2 -3 of those were really popular (Marduk, Lei and maybe Bruce). I dont mention raven because there is a girl in T7 just like him. Besides I bet well see them in dlc later. New cast is also quite nice, and akuma is really fun addition because that is really one of the best character in all fighting games.

    True flaws of the game is net code at start (hope they fix it) and I miss the ability to choose one of the 3 opponents from tekken 5 when I play treasure hunt - also the same scenery for 5 or more matches is just not fun, it should shuffle it more.

    Other than that the game is just simple fun like always. Great graphics and perfect soundtrack. I just love to feel the power in punches/kicks from tekken which really is the best 3D fighting game on the market. And for that it deserves nothing less than 10 out of 10.    … Expand

    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.
