    Awful game and definitely worst tekken game ever (perhaps on par with tekken tag tournament 2)

    secondly arcade mode is way too short and uneventful .
    thirdly character customize system is not good either with too many universal items which can be used across all characters.
    and so on and on and on....
    first "bad" tekken game in my opinion was TTT2 but at the time i speculated 7 would be better because it is main entry in the series . however it did not happen ...time to move on.    … Expand

Other top fighters, namely Street Fighter, KoF and MK/Injustice 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!

    If you want something a little more "button-masher-friendly," tekken might be your cup of tea.... Key word, might.    … Expand

    superb fighting skills and nice story line. i really liked the game.
    There is a certain charm to the entirely over-the-top nature of Tekken’s lore.

    Dont buy this game. Its unplayable.

    2. Even when you find opponent, there is 1/3 chance you will lag, sometimes you will have 4-5 games in a row that you will have heavy lags. You can easily lose to someone spamming one combination, and there is no fun even if you win, since no skill is involved.

    3. Game has horrible code, it is loading all the time. Character screen? I need to load it. Choosing which side of the screen you want? I need to load it? Finding opponent? I need to load it? 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

    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

    - The graphics are not as sharp as it should be...the developer tried to hide its imperfections under some sort of "fuzzy/Blurry" filter that makes the game's graphical shortcomings even more apparent.

    - Broken sense of difficulty progression...there are multiple times when the Ai at earlier levels feel far more difficult than what it might be on later levels.

    - Awful story mode that suffers from poorly edited/abrupt scenes transition into the next.

    - Long Loading Times....for a fighting game this is totally unacceptable... seating in a loading screen between matches just causes a lost of momentum....and interest to continue.

    Let's face it....Tekken 7 got even more ridiculous with the amount of new forgettable characters that don't add any substantial value..."more" doesn't mean better as they should improve on the existing characters as priority.    … Expand

    DLC
    Seriously, paying 5$ for a lot of characters even historical characters (characters presnet in all the 6 other episodes). What a robbery.

    Characters
    The new characters in this sequel have no real interest

    Stages
    The stages are now all small in order to make f**king air combos longer. What a crap. So the guy who starts the air combo at first is winning, the only strategy is winning, even the Counter Attacks and Chickens Attack are not used anymore at high level.

    Лично для меня это лучший Теккен. До этого только катался лицом по геймпаду в 3-ей и немного tag tournamet 2 частях, в 7-ой хотя бы начал разбираться в основах и научился жонглировать. Надеюсь, что в восьмой части за 'фрейм-дату' доплачивать не придется.Лично для меня это лучший Теккен.

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)

    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.

    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.
