    I've not played tekken since tekken 3. I've enjoyed watching videos of the game so i decided to try it. The gameplay is amazing.

I've enjoyed watching videos of the game so i decided to try it. The gameplay is amazing. 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.
    Story is good enough but offline content is lacking. treasure battle helps but to a point    … Expand

    Biggest POS for too many reasons.

    Full review at my Steam account: MaStUrBaTiNgWoOkIeE.

    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 the best of the series to date, but more of the same. 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 towards those who are amused by bears whom walk upright, wear human cloths, and don't do anything besides kick the crap out of each other.Tekken 7 is the best of the series to date, but more of the same.

    Anyone who's been exposed to more technical, more dynamic fighting games will quickly pass on tekken. Other top fighters, namely Street Fighter, Dragonball and NRS 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!

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

    Everything is fine but the on line mode is garbage. Many connection fails to the opponents that make the wait too long until it finally works. It is really frustrating and the money I paid for the game is not worth it.

    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.

    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

    Air Combos are really annoying. First they are far too long, second they oblige the players to wait for a juggle move (so the battle are reaaaaallly boring) and third the players are always doing the same exact combo. What's the interest here ?

    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.

    I've played 90 hours out of this game before I have decided to leave it be. I've beaten all story parts and then played only online.

    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

I just couldn't get into the flow of the game. I felt I was just being juggled by the enemy constantly and couldn't break out of it. Obviously, I'm just crap. But I'm an experienced gamer and platinum many games. 2D fighters like Injustice and Mortal Kombat have much more in-depth tutorials and explanations built into the game. I can see some people loving this. But it just wasn't for me. And the Rage Art thing is crap - you can perform a special powerful move when you hit below 20% energy, effectively rewarding you for losing and arbitrarily trying to make it a close fight. Injustice is better because you build up the bar by actually winning and can then use the bar in different ways.… Expand

    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

    They ruined Tekken. I guess they wanted to make it more like Street Fighter, but to me the best part of Tekken was NOT being like SF. The new flashy animations and particle effects add nothing, in fact they're just distracting and disorienting. The less said about the money-grubbing microtransactions just to get characters that should have been included in the base game, the better.

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.

For the first time in my life I will not be getting tekken on launch when 8 comes out because 7 has been a joke. The music is awful (as all tekken music has been since 3) and the stage environments are lacking. Overall this is a dull soulless half-game spread thinly over 3years.

    Tekken core structure of a superior level from its predecessor. The game, once you get in it, provide an addicting online competition through ranks. It's a complex game, with a lot of meta for each character.
    The offline is a little disappointing: story isn't memorable and game modes are few, but Treasure Mode stands out for its longevity and for learning the characters moveset.

Treasure battle is actually a great way to get better and can be pretty fun, but outside of that, that’s really the only thing I can say for offline. The game also severely lacks a tutorial mode. This is my first Tekken game , and if it wasn’t for YouTube, I probably would’ve gave up on it. That said, if you take the time to learn, this game is seriously addicting, even w the occasional lag, but that can be dependent on your connection. It’s very fast paced, and can be quite heart racing. Today, I’m still only in orange ranks, but I have a blast playing everytime. Combos are very rewarding to learn, as well as parties and defense mechanisms. Overall, if you’re looking for a fighting game to to seriously sink your teeth into competivitly, I would strongly recommend Tekken 8.

Also, I usually don't complain about DLCs, but there is one in particular which is really dumb to be paid : frame data. Many of the fighting games have it for free, and its a resource that you can find in the web to improve yourself. This kinda gives to the game a glance of pay-to-win system.

    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.

    Pretty boring. Feels like a less entertaining version of DoA. I have around 30+ fighter games and this is between half way and bottom of the stack for me. Always play cos I fancy a change, never a first choice.

    Looks nice, sounds nice. Just feels poor gameplay wise. Too many combos. I'd rather have a few move sets to use wisely, than have to remember every single button and direction to do a different move and then combos. I just don't like these style of inputs.

    If I had hours and hours to sink in to this then I'm sure I'd like it more but seems more like a game of memory at the moment and I like playing lots of games, I can't remember these masses of inputs.

    I play KoF 15, GG Strive, MK11, Injustice 2, BB Centralfiction. Always playing fighters but I can hit them up and get stuck in and with this I don't have that pick up and play vibe.

    What I really don't get are all these reviews hating on the game cos of its story. It's a 2Dish fighter. Not an RPG, you're not reading a book. I've never in my life discussed fighters with my mates and they've said oh story is a bit **** Who cares. It's a bloody fighter. It's like buying a cake and saying I don't like the cake cos the knife that sliced it wasn't very decorative.

    I'm actually going to stick with this one and keep giving it another try and hopefully raise my score. Something is telling me I haven't experienced what this game has to offer yet. If a game isn't worth my time then it is a straight 0 score from me. I think it is so cheap these days that it is well worth having and it feels very polished.

    Oh Boy where do i start here.
    Doesnt matter if your casually playing or competetive. Both ways are depressing af.

    (This is based on my opinion and expirience with this game)

    Pro's
    - Music is alright. Some of them are ok - amazing. With jukebox you can choose every tekken Soundtrack.
    - Graphics
    - Playing with your friends (if you have some)
    - A lot of characters u can choose from ( also viewed negatively but i will come back to this point later)

    Con's
    - To many Characters (I think there are 50). If you play casually and ur fine with it getting ur ass beat all the time because u don't know the moves than its ok. But playing competetive is so depressing because learning every move in this game is actually impossible. There are 5000 of them. Good luck.
    - DLC pay to win. Not every DLC-character but most of them are PTW. They have moves that original character dont have or are not that good. A little example: Negans Powercrush launcher (wtf), Fahkumrams insane backdash, movement in general, absurd moves, DMG and broken hitbox. No one knows what to do against zafina. And don't get me started on leroy. He's just an ultra darksouls boss with every perfect move.
    - If you play against DLC-Character and you dont have DLC, than u are screwed af. You cant lab them. You cant choose them in training to look up there moves and learning how to punish ect. Good luck playing against Zafina and Lei.
    - Costumization is a joke.
    - No offline modes that are actully fun to play
    - Playing online is cancer. The worst connection a fighting game could have. In most of the time you are playing with 4bar connection but the problem is, there are huuuuuuge lagspikes evey 5 seconds. Even if you play with 5bar. 3bar connection is sometimes worse than 1bar. This game not playable online. You are loosing so many games because of that. You can not properly punish or break grabs. I really don't know what they've done here. What a joke.
    - Playing against noctis is kinda cancer. Same with leroy and negan. Why are negan, leroy and noctis play so cancer and toxic???
    - Both vulcano stages are cancer for your eyes

While the combos aren't the juggle fest they used to be, they still are heavily emphasized to the point where the neutral feels lacking when compared to games like Virtua Fighter or Dead or Alive, or even past Tekken games. The movement is nice, but that's standard 3D fighter fare for one that is competently made, and while this one is okay and there is some fun to be had in the online competitive modes, the game seems simpler from fighters past, and the whole games environment and ecosystem it has built around it is too e-sports. Plus with the advent of super arts in Tekken, the classic 3D fighting feel is just a shadow of what it once was. Netcode is subpar. Tekken 6's was better, albeit Tekken 6 being a worse installment to the series as a whole .

    Wasn't there also a promise that legacy characters would be free? Why are Lei Wulong and Marduk $5.99? That's just stupid and walking back on your word...

    This game is the perfect example of how people will play the latest game in a franchise in droves, without regard for the quality of the product, and that will ultimately lead to a decline in quality of fighting games as it has for the last few years.    … Expand

    On the other hand it does indulge in the Season Pass, a scam started by Rockstar Games to sell missing content back to the end user. It's an insulting thing that Tecmo Koei has implemented into DOA5 Last Round each costing up to $99 and it's only for character costumes. With Tekken 7 having only 3, it's probably safe to say the game's done with characters by now.    … Expand

    Okay, the characters are the ones and the fight remains fun, but it has been speeded up to the point of becoming a cripple compared to the original Tekken style, which was slower than other fighting video games.
    In addition, "super moves" have been added, which are learnable most of the time and are of no use other than to give frustration to the player, who is perhaps winning and is forced to lose the round due to something he cannot parry in any way.
    Not to mention the obviously artificial difficulty of some characters, especially of transformed Kazumi, with his continuous unfair and almost always learnable moves, also because of the speed of the fights I mentioned before. There is the constant sensation of artificial difficulty, made only to make the player nervous, to row against him.
    There are no longer the movies and the stories of the players in the arcade battles, there is only one long and boring storyline "the story of the Mishima", which makes us use characters of his choice. We no longer have the stories of the characters, which I find horrible from a Tekken, we have always had the stories of the characters.
    The customization mode is nice but it has been filled with silly and uninteresting objects, with pathetic costumes or parts of them, that not even an 8 year old would appreciate.
    Arcade battles now stop at the fifth match and end with a nice game over without the character's final storyline.
    This chapter is very sad, not to be thrown away but light years away from the splendor of the old Tekken.
    Also, I add, that the PS4 pad is really unsuitable and inefficient to play this speeded Tekken, it is often wrong and you will not be able to make the moves in fluency as with the old pads of old Playstations.    … Expand

    What I have to say about Tekken 7, the game is boring, story mode is too short, in my opinion the worse of the saga. The character customization is awful, girli hair cuts and many items that are the same for everyone, it shouldn´t be problem but the items are odd and haven´t good look at least a big part of them.

    Despite its title, Tekken 7 is actually the tenth in Namcos's series of 3D fighting games, which originally debuted way back in 1994. The most recent entries include last year's Tekken Tag 2 for the Xbox360 and Play Station 3, whereas Tekken 7 brings it back home to the PC platform. If you've played any Tekken game from over the years, on any game system, then you'll basically know what toDespite its title, Tekken 7 is actually the tenth in Namcos's series of 3D fighting games, which originally debuted way back in 1994. The most recent entries include last year's Tekken Tag 2 for the Xbox360 and Play Station 3, whereas Tekken 7 brings it back home to the PC platform. If you've played any Tekken game from over the years, on any game system, then you'll basically know what to expect from this latest installment. It features the same sort of simple, slow-paced, good-looking action that's enabled this series to squeak by for all these years, but the addition of a few new fighters, a new mode, and some tweaks to the gameplay don't stop this from being a rather simple, shallow game.

    At a glance, the Tekken games do nothing to distinguish themselves from better-known 3D fighting game series, like Virtua Fighter, Soul Calibur, and Dead or Alive. This new game features 38 different characters, who mostly look like a bunch of hipsters who'd be more at home in a dance club than in a fighting arena. The vast majority of these characters return from previous Tekkens, and one thing both the old and new characters have in common is their ability to mash out attacks without much skill. Strangely, the designers seem to have run out of move ideas, as all of the newer Tekken characters reuse moves previously seen in past games.

    OK, maybe all the viable martial arts ideas have already been used up. But, really, that's part of the problem. Apart from the characters' abilities, which they can use from the first moment of any match at the press of a button, the fighters in Tekken 7 are capable of the sorts of things you'd expect to see in any uninspired fighting game. simple combos reward button mashing, as each fighter can easily string together punches and kicks for some pretty big damage. Some moves launch opponents into the air, and you may continue to juggle them on their way down with still more attacks. Strings of a half-dozen or more hits are common. Some countermoves and guard-crushing moves are available, respectively, for dealing with opponents who are too reckless or too defensive. But these are par for the course in the genre and are rarely worth the risk when the alternative is to keep churning out quick, easy, damaging combos. Mechanically, the game works ok. The controls are sluggish, and the action, for the most part, is repetative. The average fighting-game player with any level of proficiency should be able to see through this game's limited strategies and moves list relatively quickly. As any long-running fighting game series tends to, Tekken does have its own modest following, and these players should appreciate some of the nuanced changes to the gameplay, if for no other reason than that they're nuances.

    Tekken also packs some gameplay tweaks, the most notable of which is the fact that characters now randomly slow down when they attack eacho other, this "feature" however only breaks the flow of the match and shows just how bad and dated tekkens animations are. On the other hand, rage arts tekkens new super move can end a round in seconds. Actually, some of the characters become quite overpowered as a result of this change.

    The story mode of Tekken lets you fight through one opponent after another until you reach the final battle, which is predicated on some completely inane dialogue. The dialogue is all dubbed in English and is poorly translated, but it can be entertaining if for no other reason than its sheer absurdity. The rest of the audio is serviceable but understated and forgettable. As mentioned, the AI in Tekken 7 really doesn't present much of a challenge, though, as a two-player game, it could theoretically be fun for a while. Tekken 7 runs at a very smooth frame rate for the most part, though in some situations there's noticeable, annoying slowdown. The characters look quite bland and animations are notably dated, and the variety of backgrounds, while predictable, also look ok. Most of the returning characters look the same as ever, but one of the strangest new additions to this Tekken is a glowing effect, whereby certain moves will cause the character to light up. which seems rather ridiculous. The shallowness limits this game's already limited audience, as there's really nothing to be found here--or at least nothing beyond what you can find in any other fighting game.

    Tekken 7 is a predictable follow-up to a series that's never aimed particularly high. Fans of fighting games may appreciate it since it does offer more than a dozen different characters to play around with, and some of the character designs are actually pretty appealing. Still, this one can mostly be recommended only to those who really like fighting games, in general, or to those who are looking for a casual, anime-style game to play with like-minded friends.    … Expand

    Tekken 7 takes a far more cinematic approach and to make some enemies real quick, I think we lose a lot with this approach to fighting games, Tekken 7 has very pretty cgi cutscenes but the gameplay is subpar at best, I think ArcSys hit the nail on the head with their Story Modes in the Guilty Gear franchise, having the story be told in one long continuous cutscene rather than breaking it up to force some kind of fight to stop the player from falling asleep, because that's how many of the gameplay sections in T7's story feels, forced. The story primarily revolves around Heihachi and Kazuya Mishima, series mainstays and original characters, but because this is a video game, the story takes several detours to focus on other characters such as... Lars from Tekken 6... interesting characters are also there, like Nina, Lee and Jin shows up for like 10 minutes, which is kind of a shame after Tekken 6 where he was a pivotal character. Akuma from Street Fighter is there too... anyway. Tekken 7 constantly distracts from Kazuya and Heihachi to focus on these side stories because you can't sustain two characters going at each other for over an hour without them fighting which logically has to be the conclusion, and the conclusory scenes are great, Kazuya devolving further into Devil as Heihachi keeps fighting despite being heavily outmatched, it's great and the way the fight ends is amazing, but that's the final 20 or so minutes to a Story Mode that's over 2 hours, the rest of it is incredibly mediocre. The attempt to humanize Heihachi certainly is interesting, but it begs the question of why Heihachi never mentioned the Devil gene if his attempt to kill Kazuya related to it and he knew it existed, it also makes Kazuya's deal with the devil less interesting as rather than being a conscious decision our initial HERO made to sacrifice his morality for power, it's just something he can't help and is quite literally in his genes. As for Akuma who is again... in this game for some reason, he doesn't really do anything, he's just here to act as some extra fights and one of the worst final boss fights the series has, and this is the series with Jinpachi Mishima. Robot girl from T6 is back too... I don't have anything to say about her, you like pink hair anime girls? There's your pink haired anime girl.

    Outside of Story Mode is where this game really falls apart, gone is Arcade Mode with character endings and unlockable secret characters, and in is a pointless arcade mode barren of rewards or purpose, you just fight 10 matches, then it's over, no character ending, no artwork, nothing. Though there are some character endings, but there all one fight long with zero development for anybody, and no alternating scenario, where finishing with Paul would have a different ending than finishing with Marshal Law in early endings, now you get the exact same endings for any characters together in one ending, with some variations, I think Leo and Yoshimitsu have vaguely different endings, but they're all so forgettable it's hard to be certain. Outside of Arcade and Endings there's... nothing... there's a Treasure Hunt game mode but it's no different from Arcade Mode and uh... yeah that's it, a whole 3 offline modes, one of which is pointless and the other lasts about 2 hours, it's Online or nothing here, and all the beautiful graphics and particle effects in the world can't fix that.

    Overall I don't think Tekken 7 is a bad game, and I'm sure if you're an online player, you likely feel I'm being too harsh, but considering the Offline offering here for the 7th main installment for a series known for its crazy offline minigames and distractions like Devil Within, Bowling, Volley Ball, and hell, in Tekken 5's case entire playable versions of the series until that point. It's just disappointing, even compared to the Ps1 games, THE PS1 GAMES! I just hope Tekken 8 offers more to those of us who don't want to spend all their time fighting online against people who're madly in love with their 1+2 combo.    … Expand

    The game has devolved to a sort of bum rush beat-em up. Whoever gets to juggle to the wall first wins. A lot of powerful moves that are easy to execute and with a lot of range, which in-turn makes movement and side-stepping irrelevant. Just play characters with launchers that are good crushers then you're good to go.

    Not much of a big improvement from the previous Tekken games. Enjoyable of course it's tekken, one of the best fighting games ever, if not the best. But each of the characters' stories were not as funny, or compelling as before. Story mode is okay but it's not that interesting. It's like the previous games but with the added rage move. That's it.

    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.
