    Тот самый фактинг, который зародил у меня любовь к файтингам с кучей приёмов, После него, любой МК это для детей. Все новые механики пришлись очень кстати, но наплевательское отношение к пс4 про и ужасному разрешению экрана и долгим загрузкам говорит, что игра не проходит проверку временем из-за сырой поддержки.Тот самый фактинг, который зародил у меня любовь к файтингам с кучей приёмов, После него, любой МК это для детей.

    It's worth getting into for the multiplayer / ranked aspect, the game lacks in single player content. Although the recent additions (as in DLC characters) were not really supervised upon release (I know they got nerfed later on). The stages are fantastic, so is the OST. A wide variety of characters to choose from and a fun (and also frustrating if you are a competitive person) experience.It's worth getting into for the multiplayer / ranked aspect, the game lacks in single player content.

    Este Tekken trae el Gameplay más pulido de la saga. Se ha centrado más en la jugabilidad y en la experiencia inmersiva que en detalles insignificantes. El único problema es que la selección de personajes no es tan buena como en tekken 6, a excepción de AKUMA, que es un personaje muy bueno traído de Street Fighter.

    Als ein Mann, der mit Tekken aufgewachsen ist, erfüllte mich der Einstieg in dieses neue Spiel mit solcher Freude, ich genoss die kleinen Story-Modi und ich genoss das unglaubliche Gameplay insgesamt sehr.

    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.

    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    Some animations and character elements feel outdated or unpolished.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

    Content: 4/10

    - 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!

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)

    Great job devs..

    If you have played any other PVP game made in the last decade you will quickly realize just how incredibly incompetent this game is. A working online mode should be the bare minimum, so should an anti-cheat system and all the dozens of other things that Tekken lacks despite them being the industry standard. This game is truly surprising in just how many ways it manages to be incompetentIf you have played any other PVP game made in the last decade you will quickly realize just how incredibly incompetent this game is. A working online mode should be the bare minimum, so should an anti-cheat system and all the dozens of other things that Tekken lacks despite them being the industry standard. This game is truly surprising in just how many ways it manages to be incompetent in. Everything outside of the match is beyond half-assed and most of the things inside are too. Like srsly, how can you possibly justify the animations in this game? if your character kicks me in the forehead then that is not a mid-attack. A stomach punch is not a low. Do you like having to spend hundreds of hours learning the absolute basics? because every single thing in this game is made to torture new players. Enjoy playing against people that have played this game for decades and struggling to find anyone that's actually your skill level, since the game saves your rank locally which means you are going to spend most of your time playing against smurfs that keep resetting their account and on the off chance that you manage to beat them they will just close the game which won't count as your win because why not. After all, if you want to keep playing this game you are going to have to lower your expectations immensely. Do you want to find out just how little a company can care about its product while also acting like they are complete game design geniuses and a gift to you? Do you want to smash your controller? Then this is the game for you. Btw your DLC is saved in a text file. It takes seconds to unlock it all. Pure incompetence. Expand

    This game is the reason why I'm interested in Tekken again after so many years, this is definitely the best Tekken game in terms of gameplay.
    The gameplay is amazing, it feels smooth and responsive, and there's an insane amount of combos that you can do.
    The stages look beautiful for the most part, and the music is okay. The story tries to do something cool but ultimately falls flat

    The story tries to do something cool but ultimately falls flat and is just boring.

    I think the biggest problem of the game is the lack of single player content. If you don't want to play multiplayer, there's barely anything for you to enjoy here and that's a shame.

    The game does feel unfinished sometimes, especially after that rough start. The DLCs complete it and improve the game a lot but there are many of them to the point where it just gets annoying.

    Overall it's one of the most enjoyable recent fighting games and a great entry in the Tekken series, solely because of its diverse character roster and fun additional gameplay mechanics.

    Final Rating: "Very Good" ~ 7.5/10.

    Pros

    New mechanics: Rage Arts (Doing a super when you're in low health by doing a command or by one button), Rage Drive (Modified move from the original), Screw (A new way of doing combos, much better than Tekken 6/Tekken Tag Tournament 2) Season Passes: The first Tekken to have season passes. This builds up hype and introduces new characters and stages. Music: The music in this

    Season Passes: The first Tekken to have season passes. This builds up hype and introduces new characters and stages.

    Music: The music in this game is great! You can also change music from the Jukebox (You can only do this on PS4 because most of the Tekken games have been on PlayStation consoles)

    Gallery: The gallery is quite a surprise. Not only does it have character endings from past Tekken games, but it also has artwork which I've never seen before.

    ULTIMATE TEKKEN BOWL: Relive memories of playing Tekken Bowl from Tekken Tag Tournament. Play bowling in Tekken style!

    Rank Points: Ever since Tekken 5 DR, there was no rank points. You had no idea how close you were to a promotion/demotion. This was the first Tekken to introduce rank points, you can finally tell if you're close to a promotion/demotion.

    Easy throw-breaking: Throw-breaking has gotten a little easy, it is not unnecessarily difficult anymore.

    Easy controller-setup: Controller setup is much better and easy than previous Tekken games.

    Stage/Music Transition: I like how the stage changes atmosphere on the last round, as well as the music. This build up hype.

    Cons

    Online: Sometimes, the netcode is good, sometimes, it isn't. In season 1, there was no rank points, which was a problem since Tekken 5 DR because you would have no idea if you are close to a promotion/demotion. Rank points were then introduced in season 2. When someone disconnects during a match, you get nothing, unless the opponent goes AFK and you quickly beat him before the match gets cancelled to get points. In an online tournament, when a match gets disconnected, you either win by default, or the whole tournament gets canceled.

    Broken Characters: 2D characters like Akuma (Street Fighter), Geese Howard (King of Fighters/Fatal Fury), and Noctis Lucis Caelum are non-Tekken characters who are broken. DLC characters like Negan, Leroy Smith, Fakhumram, Kunimitsu and Lidia Sobieska are broken. Every part about them is annoying. This is just my opinion, you may disagree to this.

    Terrible/Short Story: The main story was alright, I just wish there was more. The narrator made the main story boring. I can't say the same for the character episodes, they were absolutely terrible.

    Lack of Content: This game does not have many offline content and is missing some like team battle and survival. ULTIMATE TEKKEN BOWL is good, but it's not enough. Also, the AI in this game is trash, which makes Treasure Battle boring.

    No tutorial mode: You have to learn this game on your own or by searching YouTube videos.

    Frame Data: Frame Data was finally added in the game, back in season 3, but now you have to pay for it.

    Stages: Two dojo stages, two volcano stages, two helipad stages and two floor-break stages. Some of the filters on the stages looked terrible than compared to the beautiful Vanilla filters. The main ones to me were Twilight Conflict with the beautiful sunset, Mishima Dojo with the warm contrast and Devil's pit with the dark atmosphere. They completely ruin those stages by changing the filters. In season 2, they brought the filters back, but they're separate stages now. They should've been a stage transition.

    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.
