    The online is broken and tournament is the only mode that "works". The netcode barely functions and you'll get a lot of laggy matches. $60 a year to be unable to play online.

    Get the PC version instead.

    Tekken 7 é o melhor jogo de luta de 2017, jogo que levou um tempo pra vir pro console mas valeu a pena a espera. O que temos aqui é um jogo completo com a devida competência, claro que vem mais conteúdo por dlc mas isso não tira o mérito do jogo por sí só já vir com bastante conteúdo de qualidade, desde o modo história (com a aparição do AKUMA) até o modo online rankeado.

    Low resolution and frame rate drops on PS4, much less single player content and customization options than Injustice 2, the game at best feels like last gen.
    Although it may quench the thirst of franchise fans who have been waiting long for a new instalment in the franchise.

    The Majority of this game is great, there is just one thing that the game has that is rendering it on ps4 it's the load times. the load times are so terrible that it gets a 0 if there a patch reducing this and taking the player out of combat then i would give it a 10.

    The best fighting game in years! The gameplay is so addicting and every character feels complete, even the new character have a very satisfying movelist. Netcode is also very smooth for me, didn't have any problems so far.

    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

    The fighting game genre is officially dead with this excremental audition to the roster. Gamplay mechanics is trash, graphics is last gen and player satisfaction is nil. The last great fighter of any consequence was Ultra Super Street Fighter 4, the gold standard of fighting games. This game is digital trash.

    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

Let's see

    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

    If I didn't have high expectations from the hype, then I would rate this higher. I was just expecting... more. Most people would like this, I guess, but it just didn't do it for me plus there was some bugs (to be fair, these will probably be fixed soon).

    Anyone who's been exposed to more technical, more dynamic fighting games will quickly pass on tekken.

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

    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.

    Tekken 7 is a fighting game with seemingly a bunch to do, but just can’t stand up to today’s competition...
    There is a story mode here complete with cut scenes which is probably the best part of the game...
    Its tells the father son struggle of Heihachi and kazuya... as Kazuya sets out to kill his father for killing his mother…
    The story mode goes a bit all over the place, so it’s hard to follow at times, but there’s definitely some emotion here, and I did find the story mode to be intriguing..
    However this story mode is only 2 hours long…
    There are character specific chapters to do after you complete the story mode that all tell a silly conflict between 2 fighters and end in a nice short cut scene at the end of the battle, and gives every character in the roster some personality...
    To add even more personality to your characters... there’s a treasure battle mode here where you can earn fight money and clothing items to customize your entire roster…
    However there are few unique outfits for each character
    A lot of customizable options are shared... and even worse… you have to rebuy the exact same article of clothing even if you already own it for another character…
    This is a decent feature though and you can even change the color of most items here…
    The actual gameplay though…
    Its stiff..
    Tekken 7 feels extremely slow stiff and annoying compared to the competition like injustice 2…
    Enemies feel spammy at times with their constant spam blocking and spam dodge attack from behind combos...
    This can to lead to many frustrating feeling moments.. Where you’ll feel you need to get lucky to progress rather than breathe and go back in with a new approach…
    This game is not newcomer friendly at all, as all of the cool moves are hidden behind ridiculous combinations of buttons…
    Feeling like a pro will take a lot of time and dedication to this game…
    Not recommend for the casual fighting game fan at all…
    Though there is a more casual addition to tekken 7 called a rage art…
    When you’re down on health and your back is against the wall, you can release a powerful attack like a super move from the injustice games, just with the touch of a button if you’d like as this move along with other button combinations are mappable on your controller…
    And onto the online mode..
    It’s completely broken for me on the PlayStation 4…
    I couldn’t connect to any matches... so my fun with this game ended when the 2 hour campaign ended…
    Tekken fans I’m sure will love Tekken 7
    But fighting fans in general…
    Tekken 7 is miles behind the competition and needs to catch up…
    Content feels lacking with the likes of Injustice 2 out there now
    And the button mashy memorize a million button sequences get lucky combat is just not enjoyable to me anymore…

    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.

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 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

    It's a good fighting game, but the graphics are just awful. It looks nearly the same as Tekken Tag Tournament 2 on PS3. Rage Arts are too casual for me. Lack of fighters is also a bad thing (where's Lei?!). Overall it is still lot of fun, but not good game as should be.

    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.
